My mom & sis have both changed their names and constantly encourage me to change mine.
The process isn't that bad I guess. You have to advertise the change in name for at least a week or two, along with completion of name chg paperwork, go to court, send in for a new birth certificate, then change all the rest of your stuff (social sec., cred. cards, passport, ID'd things). The actual chg happens within 1-2 months time & costs about $200. The birth certificate part takes longer.
But I'm sure the rules & duration of time involved vary from state to state.
Shing rocks! I know you said the name would be Chet Shing, but I know a Shing that is just awesome, creative, and totally loved by all. Chet is just a sexy name to top that off. I say go for it, meng.
I know I've been considering doing the change myself.
Be real to your roots. Be real to you. Do what makes you proud of yo'self, Chet Shing. :^)
