Each individual person change by deep poll. Costs around £30 each and takes a couple of weeks.

Hanging?....

It's 'changing' without the first letter...

OP, you don't actually need to do deed poll. You just need to tell everyone that you now want to be called Buzzly Lomax. Your expense will be changing things like passports etc. but you can always wait until things expire. It's a pain though if things don't match.

I preferred it when I opened the thread, expecting somebody to be saying they'd done family research and were worried an infamous criminal, who had been hanged, seemed to be present in the tree.



As you were.....

I changed my daughters name via deed poll and it cost £50.

I used a template that I found on the internet then had it signed by a solicitor for £10, totally valid and legal.

I thought the current surname was going to be Pierrepoint, the most famous hangman

I did my DD's myself. Looked online to find a template, wrote it out and got it witnessed by a neighbour. Accepted by the Passport office and the Banks and she has never had a problem. Cost - almost nil.
