Many transgender, non-binary and gender-diverse children and adults wish to change their name to one that resonates more with them. 

​

Heck - people use nicknames and change their name all the time -- gender diverse or not!  Even Marlaina Smith does not use her given name.

​

I digress.

Often individuals want a less "gendered" name.

​

See the "Identity Docs" section for information on the steps to legally change a name.
