I checked, in the the phone book of all places. My new family name exists and should be a valid choice. That's the good news...
HOWEVER, somebody thought it was a really fucking great idea to make lots and lots of rules concerning name changes, one of them saying it's not allowed to take a family name that already exists unless there are blood ties in the family to that name.
So I'm S.O.L., it seems.
Gonna have to get creative here...
Anyway, forms and neccessary documents have been ordered from various state offices. $170 in hard currency allocated to pay for it.
I'll beat the system, somehow. I know I will, even if I'll have to move to a different country to get the name I want. But I wish JUST FOR ONCE that everything could just WORK on my first try. Run smoothly from start to finish so I wouldn't have to worry and agonize over it. JUST ONCE... But it's too much to ask for it seems.
GODDAMMIT! This really was a blow to me. But now I'm gonna go downtown and pick up my Jarre CD. Oxygene, here I come.
Hope I'll be able to relax some in the afternoon. Too fucking upset right now...  Hate those blasted bureaucrats and their bullshit regulations. (And it'll take 2 months or more to get application processed anyway, so it wouldn't have worked in time for London trip anyway unless I push it forwards.)
