Congrats babe.

Hey Congratulations. It is a big step. Good on ya.

When I changed my name, I just went from Gwinn Elton Boucher to Gwen Ellen Boucher, so it really wasn't much of a change, and then I started using the nick name of Khadijah during my years as a Muslim.

Now, back to Gwen, I sort of get the creepies when someone calls me Gwen. It's too much like my old name and I don't like it. Still there are bigger problems in life.

I just wish I had chosen something like Clarice or Hala, or something drippingly feminine. :(

I know, whiner.

not as fast as in BC

my name change took 90 days. That's how long I had to pay for an advert in the BC legal paper.

During that time it was published my intention to change names and people could contest it or pick me up again if I were to have creditors.

The only hiccup was when someone from the Post Office used an internal memo envelope to send me a threatning (or so it felt) letter congratulating me on my sex change and wishing me luck with my new moniker.

I about freaked! Nothing ever came of it and I was happy when my new birth certificate (still with 'M') but new name arrived along with my Social Insurance Number.
