Thinking about changing my name


Damien Mcknight

Recommended Posts

So, I’ve gone by ‘Alex’ for almost a year, but for some reason it doesn’t seem to fit anymore. I need some help! My family has basically gotten used to Alex and I don’t know what to do or what would be a good name for me! I still like the name Alex but I just don’t know!!!

I think ALex is a nice name its unisex too. I changed my name to Tashia-Mai then realised i spelled it in a way people say my name wrong. my name should be pronounced Tay-She-Ah-May. But people call me Tash-E-Ah-May lol oh i would pick a name you like cause once you change by deed poll thats it you stuck with it unless you want to pay again

Pay? Who does that now.

 

You just need a stat dec. You can make it yourself. A couple of signatures and your good to go.

Then use this one.  The one above is if you still want to pay a solicitor

Alex is an excellent name, yes unisex but also quite manly and at some time down the road you may want to just be called Al, which is as masculine as it gets.

On this side of the pond most states require a court judge to sign off on an official name change to make it legal, not a big deal nor is it expensive.

If you don't want to go by Alex, may I suggest looking a baby name lists or even names that go by A in general. you can just google that :)

in the UK you need to do by deed poll

 

 

Maybe im a little out of date. Please advise me the new legislation or where it says you need to pay for a deed poll and a stat dec is no longer legal proof. For me to aquiant myself. ?

Generally, most organisations will be happy to accept just your deed poll or statutory declaration as evidence of name change, but the Passport office in particular will also require that you produce medical evidence in the form of a letter from your GIC or GP before they will issue you with a new passport. This letter must state that you are living permanently in your new gender role (it is important that this wording is included in any letter otherwise your application will be rejected).  You will also need to provide evidence that you’re using your new name (for example a payslip, or a letter from your local council).  The Passport Office also has a separate booklet about what documentation is required in various circumstances which you can

You can change your name on your passport with one of the following documents:

 

 

Look up the the Statutory Declarations Act 1835,

 

 

I used a stat Dec. I have never had an issue. But that was 5 years ago. However i have not heard of any change in the lawsample-deed-poll.thumb.png.c51899b05d79ccd67ed3bab7d3635c38.png

      It certainly could be classed as dark humor.  Unfortunately the sentiments alone must hurt young trans folks.  Decency and reality doesn't seem to be in the GOP's vocabulary.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Good morning all,    It’s a frosty morning here the lawn looks silvery, and the uncovered spring flowers have icy edges on their leaves. The only flower bed I covered was my tulips. As nice as it is here during the day, our clear wind free nights allow the temperatures to drop into the mid twenties. Here in our growing zone it’s recommended that you not plant delicate plants until Mother’s Day. Central Indiana can have snow as late as the third week of May. The birds are active at the feeders, I’ve had my cup of yoghurt and morning meds. So I’ll sit here, drink coffee and watch the as the sunrise chases the frost from the yard.    @awkward-yet-sweet I could eat black eyed peas as a side for every meal. Boil them plain or with fatback. Served as a leftover, just add in a little Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies.  Make the best of your day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?

      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.
