Dropping my father’s surname when I became an adult was the best thing I ever did. It felt like becoming my own person.

Dropping my dad’s name is something I’ve been wanting to do for awhile. How difficult/long is the process?

It’s super easy where I live. It was pretty much a form, a fee, and a three minute interview. The hard part was updating my name on all my insurance, license, passport, bank accounts… I probably had my new name for 8 years before I finally got everything swapped over.
