 The
purpose of a name is to identify a person. So long as a person
does not intend to evade identification or perpetrate a fraud, a
person may legally change their name.
The most common reason
for choosing to legally change an individual's name s in the case of
marriage or a divorce. Florida law allows women to change their name
as part of their divorce. The request to change her name is included
in her petition or counter petition for dissolution. Her name change
will become incorporated into the Final Judgment of Dissolution of
Marriage. If the man is the
one who changed his name in the event of a marriage, the same law
applies.

place of birth, their residence since birth and the names of
their parents;
The name of
their spouse (if any) and the names and residences of any
children;
Any prior name
changes;
Their
occupation and places of employment for the past five years;
Any other
names or alias which the petitioner has been known or called
by;
Date and place
of any adjudication of bankruptcy;
Date and place
of any felony conviction;
Date and place
of any money judgment entered against the petitioner;
That the name
change is not for fraudulent or illegal purposes and that
the change will not invade the property rights of others;
That the
petitioner’s civil rights have not been suspended or, if
suspended, that they have been fully restored.
Changing the name of a minor child:
A child’s name may be changed by the Court through
an adoption or paternity proceeding.
When Paternity
is not an issue:
A petition to
change a minor child’s name must be brought be one or both
parents. If only one of the parents brings the petition,
however the other parent must consent to the change or be
served with the petition so he or she may be heard on the
issue.
