Changing your name in Watauga County rocks. My "hearing" involved giving my ID to the magistrate in the civil affairs office and receiving a stack of stamped approval papers. I was in and out of the courthouse in five minutes. I was thrilled.
The rest of the process apparently involves jumping through a lot of hoops. Social Security first, then the DMV, then everything else after that should be pretty easy by comparison. I'd like to have everything settled by January.
