Every year an increasing number of people change their name. Surprisingly, most often this is done not because of the inconsistency of the name given at birth, but from some other considerations. It is not so important what the person changing the name is guided by, but he should have an idea of some of the difficulties that he may encounter in the future.

Please note - in some cases, a person is not comfortable walking through life with the name given to him by his parents. This is not easy to explain, but such a name is not in resonance with how a person feels; it causes him discomfort and “cuts his hearing”. In some cases, even others are of the opinion that the person categorically does not fit his name. Fortunately, you can change the name quickly and inexpensively.

Firmly deciding to change the name given to you at birth, get ready for the fact that you have to change a lot of documents. Passport, foreign passport, driver’s license, insurance policies - this is far from a complete list of papers that will need to be reissued in a new name. Replacing them will take some time and require you to pay the appropriate fee.
3
Know that your family and friends, who for many years have known you under your old name, will not immediately be able to - and in some cases simply will not want to - call you new. This is especially true for parents, many of whom fundamentally refuse to call their child a name different from the one they named him. There is no need to be tormented by guilty feelings about the fact that you committed an act that upsets your family, because a truly happy person should live in harmony with himself and his name. If from childhood you feel that this name does not suit you, in most cases it will really be better to change it.

Be prepared for the fact that even new friends will look at you in disbelief, learning that you have changed your name. People tend to be wary of those who, by some of their actions, are knocked out of their coordinate system. They consider such individuals to be at least “strange” and look at them in the end to discover something that confirms their abnormality. If such bias does not touch you and is not offensive to you, then, in the end, those around you will stop looking for a trick in you and your character that forced you to change your name.

Keep in mind that regardless of whether you believe in mysticism or not, life after changing a name for most people changes no less than after moving to another city. Moreover, such changes can be both positive for a person, and vice versa. Ideally, before taking such a serious step as changing the name given to you at birth, you should consult a specialist, for example, a practicing numerologist. He will make an approximate picture of the change in your future after you become a new name.
