    How would I go about changing my full name?
    I'am currently 15 years old, I live with my mother and step father, I really dislike my name which is >Removed<
    I would like to change my name to >Removed< (Djay is my nickname, Eilot is my grandpa's name & Moore is my moms maiden name) My real father Doesn't care if I change my name nor does my mother.

    In short I would love to know how to go about changing it?

    I live in Oregon.

    Well for starters you have to wait until you are 18. After your are legal age you petition the court. But as a minor you can't do it.

    Your mom and your bio dad will have to sign for a name change, a petition will have to be submitted to the court along with a fee.

    Personally I would wait till I was 18 or 19, since and not trying to talk down, but at 15 what we want changes often
