Has people ever created their own surnames? Is it allowed?

People change their names all the time - it is not at all unusual.\n\nYou may not do so in order to commit fraud or to evade an obligation - otherwise, the only restraints are the judge's willingness to grant your request.\n\nYou are probably best off with a lawyer who handles "family law." You can find one online by visiting the free lawyer-locater at   martindale.com, click on your city, click on "family law", and start calling lawyers. It is perfectly okay to ask the lawyer up front what her charge is and what the court fees would be.\n\nGood luck

I think the deal with changing your name is that you can have as many names as you like as long as you aren't deceiving anyone.   If everyone knows you have ten names, then ten names are fine.\n\nThe problem comes with the admin, and that comes thick and fast.   How is your employer supposed to pay your salary into a bank account that doesn't have the right name on it?   How are you going to get on a flight if your documents don't match up with one another?\n\nI used to know a Brazilian woman with a big long name made of about eight bits.   She sometimes used one combination, sometimes another.  She ended up getting arrested for stealing her own bank card!

How about Cockburn? Seriously! (pronounced ' Coburn') LOL\nFuchs. Ok, so they are were surnames. But WTF?\nI would change it instead of passing down the name!

what a stupid question. What constitutes a "strange name". Maybe the name "Smith" or "Jones" is hilarious in some languages

Of course you can.  Many great works of entertainment have been created by partnerships, teams, couples, siblings, etc.  Its better to use your names than a company or corp. that doesn't legally exist yet.

are we supposed to say    "you"  cause of your name??

hmmm... I live in the USA and I have never really heard that in particular.  But I may be able to supply some additional input.\n\nIt is fairly common for us to use less formal versions of our names. Very often you will see, William being call Bill, or Robert being called Bob.  Even some females do this. Elizabeth is often called Betty, or Catherine, Cathy. Some even actually even use two of them at once, like Billy Bob.\n\nIt is possible, that calling Mohammed Moe, is nothing more than a sign of acceptance.\n\n\n\nAdded Note;\n\nI personally prefer the more formal versions.  My name is Chyrelanne.  I do not care for it when people call me Chyrel.  I usually correct them, by pointing out that Chyrelanne is just one word.\n\n\n\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApgRAIGflrDpqJFd6oXrOlbsy6IX?qid=1006022811250

Nope. Titles like that, unless they appear on the Birth Certificate, need no legal changes.  The same goes for lawyers who put Esquire after their names.

You are limited to one legal name that you can use for official purposes. But, you can change your name at any time so long as you can prove that you are not doing this to avoid debts, prosecution, or for some other illegal purpose. The cost to do this is fairly inexpensive, about $100 to do all the leg work yourself, and up to $1,200 if you have a lawyer do it.\n\nIt is also perfectly legal to change your first or last name unofficially and go by another name or alias, again so long as you are not doing this for illegal purposes. But, you can not possess two drivers licenses or social security cards with two different names on them.
