In quest of a last name for a legal name change...

[lengthy bit about hassles with government in name changes]

Can you really change your name in whatever you like in the USA?

What the hell. I realize that the U.S. culturally places significantly more value on individual rights over government than a lot of places, but the government saying "you can't change your name to this, we find it unacceptable" sounds crazy. You should revolt. Want help revolting? I've never revolted, but it sounds fun. We should revolt. When's good for you?

Also, "revolt" no longer sounds like a real word to me.
