What are you waiting for?
How many of you out there know somebody that has legally changed their name? You probably have never met anybody that has until now. Well except when a woman gets married she takes her husbands name but I don't mean that. I mean just changing your First, Middle, and Last name just for the hell of it. I've always been a spur of the moment kind of guy and one day I just got it in my head that I didn't like my birth name anymore and I wanted to change it. I went online and I found this website for name change papers that cost like $134. You buy these papers and then you take it down to the county clerk and you file the papers there and you pay like $100 in court costs and you have to run a ad in the local newspaper telling everybody in town that you are changing your name and if anybody is interested they can show up at the court hearing.
Well I did all that and my court date was set for September 7, 2007. Up until that date my name was Rodger Dale Murray Junior but on that date I walked into court the Judge asked me if I was doing this to escape debts or running from the cops ect. He granted my name change and I walked out of court that day my name no longer Rodger Murray but it was Thomas Marvolo Riddle. Cool eh ? I got lots of compliments on it especially when I went to see Harry Potter at the movie theaters. I would show people my license and they just couldn't believe that was my actual name. I even had it on my social security card to. After awhile though when the novelity wore off I realized that I gave away my family heritage and I wanted my last name back. I didn't really care for the middle either so I went to court yet again.
The 2nd name change occured I think it was February 2009. Walking into court my name was Thomas Marvolo Riddle and I got complimented on the name by the Judge. I explained that I wanted my family heritage back and that I made a mistake changing my last name so the Judge granted my 2nd name change and I walked out as Thomas Andrew Murray and that has been my name ever since and will be my name until the day I die. It is hard sometimes because my family refuses to call me Thomas because I have been Rodger to them ever since I was born. I was Rodger for 21 years of my life. All my friends at school new me as Rodger. The only people that know me as Thomas are people that I have met and known after my name change of course. I don't usually tell people about my name change but since I'm telling my life story on here in the blogs its appropriate.
It is hard sometimes having a changed name because everybody always wants to see your name change papers so I have to carry them wherever I go. I didn't actually think the Judge would grant my name change to Thomas Marvolo Riddle because I thought it was copyrighted but he let me and it was kinda cool for awhile and this is the kinda thing that you want to do as a kid but you have no option but to wait until your grown to do it and most people grow out of it when they become an adult but not me! When I became an adult all it meant was that I was just a grown kid and now I could do whatever the fuck I felt like doing without parents telling me no and getting grounded ect.
Well that's about all there is to this story and its 100% true. I can even upload my name change papers on Fubar if there is any doubt about my honesty.
I hop you enjoyed reading this and I will see you guys next time for the next edition of "My Life"
