I am looking to change my name to something a bit more Irish currently.
I was wondering if anyone else has gone through the process in the UK or US? I am doing all my forms in the UK, and its really really scary! I am changing my full name, first and last. And also mainly because no one can pronounce my Surname and its gotten very irritating with work and everything! There are also other reasons which I don't want to go in to.
I have a nice name picked out, and I cant wait. But I currently have my driving license, and my passport forms in front of me and I now see the amount of work that needs to be done, as well as National insurance, Bank cards, and Gym cards. Does it ever stop?!
Also with regards to travel, I already have problems every time I go through US customs because I have flown there over 20 times in 4 years (Apparently I'm a drug trafficker? Or something...God knows!) to visit my family and ex boyfriend.
So I was wondering how I cope with Customs or how anyone else has coped with it? Or if they have had any issues?
Or even any other stories regarding name change, I cant seem to find much online about it and I remember a few people on here mentioning they have changed their names.
