How has anyone who changed their name down it during lockdown or did you? I am considering whether or not to change mine and afraid that I will change social then boom 2nd wave lockdown and can't go in person to do dmv, bank etc. Then I will be half one name and half another and not fully legally exist as either. Can I put it as new name on license then postpone changing it as long as needed (until there's a vaccine so they can't lock us up and refuse to provide services for months on end again)?
Is there any real reason other than personal preference to change it in this day and age? It just sounds like an unnecessary paperwork night mare(major inconvenience) especially right now. It's not that big of deal to have kids with a different last name than you anymore is it? and I can still name my kids with their dads name then call us all by same when referring to the collective group even if I never legally took his name?
Thoughts on if it's worth it or (was/will be) even possible during lockdown? I'm in Sac, Ca. and things are opening back up again but I don't trust than they will stay open so I feel rushed.
