If you are a minor...you would have to have your parents handle it.
Once you are an adult you can do it on your own. But your parents gave you that name for a reason. Probably because it is your mothers middle name as well. Would it hurt her feelings for you to change it?Do you have any tips on changing my middle name?If it's not meant to defraud or evade, you can use whatever name you want without having to change it legally.Do you have any tips on changing my middle name?Since it sounds like you are underage, your mother may have to file papers with the court house in order to change your name. The whole process can take anywhere from 2 months to a year.You can have as many as you want. But what is wrong with Kenna. I like it. Merry Christmas to you as well.You can petition the court for a name change, and you will almost always get it. The exceptions are if you are doing it to evade debt, commit fraud, avoid law enforcement, etc. If you are under 18 your parents must do it for you. I suggest if you are going to do it, do it before you are 18. That way all of your credit history, college transcripts, etc will be under your new name, saving you a lot of time and trouble. I would think hard about changing the name your parents gave you. For most parents, a name is more than a label. It might be very hurtful to them, especially your mother.
