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 did that when our family split and I think it’s worth dropping that name but at the same time I have mixed feelings about the name I added. To that point I feel it opens a can of worms that will have you question your name forever. I wouldn’t change whatever name you go by though.

    I don’t think a name change would cause you troubles but would just add more paperwork.
