More than that would require a bigger change. It could be worse. My grandpa's born name was "John The Baptiste Arthur Lauzon". Needless to say, he went through life as "Art" :) Well, he had a problem after Grandma died and he was getting all the paperwork in order. All the stuff was signed "Arthur Lauzon" but that wasn't his legal name. The lawyer said it was easier for grandpa to change his name than to re-do all the stuff. Which brought him to the next problem: If you want to change your name in Michigan, and your parent(s) are still living, you need to get their permission. My great-grandpa lived to be over 100, so grandpa had to go to the nursing home and convince his father to sign off on the name change. :) IJ> I wish the Republicans fought more for the people than they do. I've said this before: The vast majority of people simply want to live their lives as they want without gov't interference. The problem here is that the Republicans (mostly) agree with that and leave us alone. The Democrats are the ones who want to control us and tell us how to live. That's why I vote person, not party. Right now we need representatives who will battle the socialists. But after they are defeated, we need people who will get out of our lives. ....
