im soooooooo excited.....today i had an idea...tomorrow im gonna implement it. I am going to change mine and my sons name by deed poll. I had a thought and i dont care what friends or family say to me...if i got married it would be expected of me to change my name...but to be honest if i got married i probably wouldnt take on their name...so why not choose a special name that has a meaning to me and my lil boy...then we will be at the top of a new family tree. my son will carry the name forward if he in the future has children....how cool would that be to start a family tree.....

yep, i make rash decisions, maybe not always right ones...but at least i do what i say....well most of the time...well some of the time...new surname...how exciting

I don't want to dampen your excitement, but I wouldn't legalise the name change so soon. Give yourself more time to think about this decision. Be sure of the name you want. Practice writing it (signing it) and saying it. Changing your name legally can be quite an involved process. You’ll feel better about it if you’re absolutely sure it’s what you want.
