As far as I know in Arkansas anyway you can but it is like 200 and you have to go through a whole legal thing with the court clerk

Iā€™m pretty sure you can for a price

I thought after youā€™re 18 you can legally change your own name but I would call because they might want you to pay something

You can! Go to the court house and ask what you need to do to make it legal. :grin:

there are hoops to jump through and fees to pay, it you can change your first, middle and last name if you want.

You can. You have to pay to do it and they run all kinds of background checks. Costs 1800.00 in Texas to have it done.

Yes Iā€™ve done it before. Its $300 and you have to go before a judge but they did it for me. I did it when I was 18 and then got engaged 6 months later. But yes you can for $300. Well it was $300, 12 years ago so Iā€™m sure itā€™s gone up since then
