Name Changed

[diesel]

It was my birthday on Wednesday and the first thing i did was going into the city and apply to change my name.

So heres the long story.

My parents split when i was like 1 years old and i have never seen my 'father'.
No phone calls, no visits, no presents and worst of all, no child support.

When i applied a couple of years ago to get my passport to travel to italy, he refused to sign. My mum had to blackmail him into signing. But my mum could not find a way to get him to sign the papers so my brother and i could change our name.

For about 10 years now i have wanted to get rid of his name, my last name, Lowley.

My brother turned 18 2 years back so my mum and him went and changed their names from Lowley to my mothers maiden name, McMahon, which the rest of my family is known by.

I have always been a McMahon at heart, but now finally after 18 long years, i am legally Braiden John McMahon. I went into the city on my birthday, spent $200 and changed my name. The forms came in today, and now im legally McMahon.

Feels So good :D

Congrats, that must feel really good :) . My little bro will have to go through this once he's legal age too, he hates carrying his father's last name. I know that he wants our stepdad to adopt him, but it's the same thing. His father doesn't see him or pay child support, nothing, but still won't sign over his rights.

So anyways good for you, McMahon is a very nice name to carry.

Good for you =D My brother kind of has that situation, He's a McDonald and the rest of us are Welsh and Packard, but I think he's going to keep his name because of the good memories he had of his dad before they went sour and he died....would be nice to see the Welsh name carried on though....

Anyways, hope you enjoy the name! Sounds very fitting.

Congrats on the name change. Must have taken a lot of thought. Your name is your identity, and it's deeper than just what people call you.

Oh, and Congrats on turning 18.
