- Call up your local state (that is, non-federal) courthouse and ask to
- speak to the Clerk of the Civil Court. Unless it's a small town, you'll
- probably get some low level gofer rather than the Clerk him/herself, but
- that should be good enough. Ask him or her how you go about changing
- your name legally; he or she should either know the answer or be able to
- give you the name and phone number of somebody who does.
-
- (Here in the Boston area, the "White Pages" phone book has a "blue
- pages" supplement in the back that contains government listings; it
- starts with a two-page "Easy Reference List" that includes a heading
- labeled "Courts." If the phone books in your area are organized the
- same way, that should be all the info you need.)
