Under US law, any person may change their name to anything at any time for any reason. So if your name is really your biggest enemy, the fix is not so hard.

"If you don't like us mistreating you then change your name". Good point.

Let me suggest that if, in fact, your largest problem is something you can make vanish immediately, just by wishing it to be so, then you don't have many, or serious, problems.

Obviously, it's demeaning to change your name just because someone else doesn't like it. If it were actually giving you trouble, it wouldn't be a hard choice.

The fix is somewhere else.
