I would probably feel the same way, but I honestly would just tell them. For the simplicity of things, that is. We don't know your reasoning but let me give an example: You've had this horrible relationship with your dad and he's some monster, you hate having any association with him. You tell them: I switched it back to my maternal family name. You know what I mean? They just may just want some info for fraud type of reasons. I really don't know but that's what I would do.This is almost 100% accuarate. LOL Great guess!
Edited to correct the quote.Bestchoice's explanation struck a chord in me too. The explanation reminded me of a quote from Hope Floats."Birdee Pruitt: Childhood is what you spend the rest of your life trying to overcome. That's what momma always says. She says that beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad, but it's the middle that counts the most. Try to remember that when you find yourself at a new beginning. Just give hope a chance to float up. And it will... "I apologize for getting sappy.
Very eloquent quote, beautifulblaquepearl, and pertinent to most everybody!
I especially like the part highlighted... there's so much truth there. Thank you so much for sharing it!
I had a legal name change, changed my first name.
And I had to send them documents, court order, new updated ID.

No it was very simple, they didn't request anything specific regarding why, however they DID want my court order via US Postal Mailing as they wouldn't accept fax for me.
