    Hey everyone.

    Relatively short post, just looking for opinions. Last year (April) I changed my name to Cody, however for my mother my middle name was made to be Rebekah. This was for several reasons due to the sentimental value of the name.

    My mother however now is wishing to be more supportive and has declared she wishes to choose a middle name for me (a masculine one). I’m fine with this, and somewhat excited she finally seems as if she is wanting to address things.

    I do question however, would it seem weird to change my middle name again? Would it cause issues in terms of getting it changed on certain things i.e. drivers licence etc or would it be fine? (That part is U.K. specific obviously)

    Did you change your name by deed poll? As far as I’m aware you would just change it again by deed poll. I don’t think it would seem weird but think you would probably need to keep a paper trail of your old deed poll etc? Especially if you want to apply for a GRC anytime soon. I’m far from an expert though so worth a bit more research probably!
