Name Change for Professional Purposes – The Good Kind

Usually, when people seek a Name Change for Professional Reasons, it’s to establish a name for themselves. We’ve helped many of these people into their New Legal Names. They take the name that fits the person they are … and are becoming. They see their New Name as an important piece of their persona as they pursue their life ahead. Their New Name compliments and supports their direction and what they stand for. It’s an investment, a commitment.

As a “for instance”, one of the most famous actresses of the 20th Century, was born Norma Jean Mortenson. She then changed her last name to Baker before becoming Marilyn Monroe.

Sometimes people pursue Name Change for Professional Purposes because they have already been using a name professionally, but it’s not their legal name. For instance, Destiny Hope Cyrus was starring in the Hanna Montana hit television show as Miley Cyrus in 2007.

Back to the curious case of Cesar Chavez, the man who wants to be the next U.S. Representative from the 7th District of the great state of Arizona. If he can survive the challenge to his candidacy by the grandson of the more famous and deceased Cesar Chavez, he’ll have to convince the voters of the 7th District that, whatever his name is or was, that he’s fit to represent them. If he does all that, he can have a chance to launch a second Cesar Chavez into a place of honor and distinction for history’s sake.
