Changing my name, how do I do that?

My name is blythe and I’ve hated it for as long as I can remember…anyway I want to get it changed to miley (I think the name is amazing), but I dunno how to tell my parents or how they will take it…any advice

Answer #1

You have to go to court and sign some paper work in front of a judge to legally change your name, you could just tell your parents and friends to start calling you something else and stop responding to blythe

Answer #2

Personally I think your name is beautiful. But as for your question you would have to go to court to change it but I think you have to be 18 if your parents don’t agree. As for telling them…I’m sure that they probably already know you don’t like your name, after all they do live with you. Just make a friendly comment about how you really like the name Miley and that you wish it was your name, see what they say and then go from there.

Good luck

Answer #3

You have a unique name! I wouldn’t change it. I’ve never even heard of it and that’s a change. My name’s Jessica and I wish I had a unique name! I went to school with about 40 other Jessica’s and it was annoying! And do you know how many people are probably planning to name there babies Miley just because it’s now famous? Your parents probably spent a lot of time picking out a name that was unique for you before you were born. I say stick with it, it will grow on you eventually!

Answer #4

I think your name is pretty awesome…besides I have a weird name I didnt really like…thats why pple call meh cici…but my name had a really nice meaning…’’moonlight’’
maybe your name has a nice meaning too! and you can always have a nickname cant you?

Answer #5

I love your name!!!

Answer #6

I think it’s a beautiful name.

Answer #7

well, I would tell them you don’t like that name, I’m 14 and my name’s Lyndsey Elizabeth McNitt and when I’m 18 I’m changing it to: Lyndzee Ziu Armstrong
