I’m seriously considering a name change, both first and last name. But I thought about it and I don’t want to deal with the massive paperwork issues, especially when it comes to citizenship papers and fact that I got citizenship status derived from my mother’s naturalization. I’m not sure if a name change would cause troubles.
Should I do it just for spite?
I changed my first name, and if I ever get married I’d take my partner’s last name. I’ve considered just changing my last name by myself but I would have no idea what name to pick. Ultimately I carry their name, but I’m not part of their family.
