Go to options, then general prefrences and you should be able to change it on there.  It has a field where you can change your outgoing name.

The process is simple in most states. You go to the county clerk or the local county court, and get a form for name change. You usually do not need an attorney, though it's always a good idea if you have any legal questions.\n\nThe form, and what you need to do after filling it out, will vary by state, but it generally requires proof of identity (birth certificate, green card, etc.) and a small fee. Some states also require you to go before a judge and explain why you are changing your name. But it's not a very complicated process in most situations.

You can fill out the paperwork to change your name yourself.  The filing fees differ in each jurisdiction but you can easily find that out by going to your county clerk's webpage.  That's also where you can print out or find out where you can get the packet of forms for changing your name (adding a middle name).

If you want to change your name, change it! Who cares what the old man thinks! It's not like he's around much, right? You are going to be an adult soon and you need to start making your own decisions. Change your name if you want to, otherwise, why bother?

if your birth surname is now your legal name, i would imagine you would simply apply for a new passport. In fact, i think the government would prefer that you do this.

Free. You do it yourself. As long as you don't do it to commit fraud, you can change your name "by custom" instead of "by law". Women do it all the time. When Miss Dale Evans married Roy Rogers, she could have become Mrs. Dale E. Rogers, if she had wanted to. (Roy and Dale were famous cowboy stars in the 1940's, 50's and 60's. Books, records, movies, lunch boxes, toy six-gun sets, a TV show.)\n\nYou can't change your name from Bill Smith to Bill Gates and then try to get some Microsoft stock - that is fraud. \n\nThe next time you renew your driver's license, get new checks printed, register at a school, join the Marines . . . tell the clerk your middle name is Albert (Susan, Elaine, William . . .). If you don'tmake it too extreme ("Engleburt") it will pass right through the system. After a couple of years the only trace of you with no middle name will be your birth certificate and Social Security card.\n\nIf that isn't good enough for you, call the county clerk in your county and ask about a petition for a legal name change. They will tell you how much and how to fill out the forms.

In many states it is as simple as using a new name in place of the old one. This can be problematic when traveling since 9/11 though. \nI reccomend one of two things: search online for you states and local laws on the matter or visit your county courthouse and someone there will be able to point out the forms and fees required to go about changing it that way.

The method for doing this varies quite a bit based on where you live.  In the U.S., the way it's done in most states is by filing a petition with a local court.  The notice of name change is published in a newspaper usually for several weeks, then the change is made final by the court.  \n\nThe only simpler method is in cases of marriage or domestic partnership.  In these cases, it is enough to simply notify the DMV and Social Security Administration.
