A person can not change their name to defraud any person.

The Petition sets forth the Petitioner's full name, the name the Petitioner wishes to assume, and a concise statement of the reasons for the requested name change. If the Court is satisfied that the name change is proper and not detrimental to the interests of any other person, the Petition will be approved.
