> Yes, you can legally change your name but it takes a lot of time and effort and could cause you a lot of grief with your family and professional confusion.

It took me 45 minutes at the Births/Deaths/Marriages office. If I recall, it cost $60.

And how much time did you spend updating your new information with the government, your banks, your work, and other services that you interact with?

Add an extra 5 minutes for every official form in the future where you have to answer "Did you previously use a different name?" and provide documentation for it. Add more time if your name change happened in a different country and you need to provide officially translated documentation.

And it took me 3 months, $180, and being ordered to publish a notice in the local newspaper who was really uninterested in following through and then charged me another $170 for it.

It's different everywhere and it's usually not easy.

okay what

And if I had gotten to choose the newspaper, I would have chosen one that is more friendly and more representative of the local community than the glorified blog operated out of another state that I was ordered to use
