<p class="MsoPlainText">I have some clients that want to do name changes. Specifically, from Americanized names to original foreign names (like changing Christopher to Christoforos).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I am just helping them as a courtesy and don’t intend to charge anything. Has anyone does this recently? Anyone have any pleadings and/or thoughts on procedure?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I remember doing something similar around 30 years ago, but it is lost through the sands of time.<o:p></o:p></p>
