<p>Hi, I'm trying to change my name. I'm under 18, AKA as a minor. It's absolutely ecessary to change it before i apply for college. So, how should i go about doing this, with a lawyer, etc? ALso, it's only for my first name. How much does it cost, with and without a laywer and have any of you done it before and what's your advice with it? I'm worried becuase i need it changed ASAP, hopefully in less than 4 or five months. &lt;/p>

<p>Thanks guys!!</p>

<p>oh, and BYW monzzei's just my CC name :^)</p>

<p>Why do you need to have it legally changed? Just adopt a nickname--people do it all the time.</p>

<p>My brother legally changed his middle name but I do not know about the process or cost, I don't think he had lawyer.</p>
