I couldn't believe how easy it was to change my name in Lane Co.

what about the after effects? i assume you were already at U of O at the time. was it hard to deal with all the other name-related things catching up to the change?

It wasn't as painful as I expected. When I travel I just make sure to carry my papers because United keeps screwing up seeing two names on my account and goes with the name they understand. I just gave up on them. Drivers ID, Social Security, credit cards, all super easy. I just showed them, or sent them copies of my court papers. I never changed my birth certificate because I just don't care about it. I was born with a different name and that's fine with me, it's my history.
U of O had to send me two degrees before they got my name right. Surprisingly the gov seems to get it right!
What's your name change from and to?
