Well, if you do not mind being calle, "Hey You!" for the first 10 or so years of your life, why not. OF course, you can change your first name legally, so in effect, you CAN choose your first name, can't you? Good luck

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.

Who told you, you couldn't change it?  Get in contact with them.  It is a big deal.  They can amend it.  You have proof of identity, you just need to get in touch with the correct people.

Depends upon local law.  If local law does not provide for a name change, you would have to proceed through the courts as any other name change.\n\nThe name change is never truly free anyway.  There are costs for driver's license, vehicle registrations, etc. that must be paid regardless of the reason for the name change.

If your living in Great Britain then go to your local city hall or any half decent solicitor and tell them you want to change your name via 'deed poll'\nonce this is done you will get a new certificate that states you are this new person and that you will be registered as that person not the old one.\n\nIf you live elsewhere then I dont have a clue

You can legally do that. But it may upset your husband. If it is too long, you can just kept your name as is...Just start signing your name to documents with a shorter name. I use to work in customer service for years, people used credit cards with had their nickname on them. Although they didn't legally change their name.\n\nI use my middle name with my first name all the time. On your license they can use a middle initial instead of the whole name. Their are ways around the long name, without the hassle of legal fees/procedure and upsetting your husband.
