My married name was Young, and I used to say, "I'll be Young forever"...well, not so much.
In Ct, all you need to do to change your name to anything you want is give the Town Clerk $250 and sign an affidavit that you have no "intent to defraud".
Once the probate judge signs off, you go to Social Security, DMV, etc etc and Voila!
Freeing, & Well worth it!
