Hello,
On my 23rd birthday (2008), I changed my common law/usage first name to Alwin. I've wanted to change my legal first name to this as well, but have not been able to justify the expense*, as I understood it's legal in CA to change your name under common law for free, as long as you're not doing it to defraud. I mostly go by TheButterZone on the internet.
Inspired by the "First Bitcoin Baby" Bitcoinstarter (
https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/946) and posts about it on
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=757000.0;all , I thought, if someone would help with the paperwork and cover all the costs*, why not change my first and middle names to Alwin and Satoshi respectively, in one shot? My middle initial is already 'S', so changing the name to Satoshi wouldn't be that drastic.
I'm not aware of any adult who has changed their legal name to Satoshi yet, so I'm willing to be the first. I don't have any civil or criminal liability to escape, or foresee any financial benefit (other than saving money on the name change costs). One would think this should be good PR for whoever helps me, however.
Who is Satoshi? Please make that my middle name.
*$435 San Diego, CA Superior Court filing fee+$65 to publish order to show cause for 4 weeks in a newspaper+$? certified copy of Decree of Name Change+$27 to change CA driver's license+$? to change birth certificate (possibly optional)+$? legal counsel

Something I found that will save some money...
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB179"(5) If the petition for a change of name is sought in order to conform the petitioner’s name to the petitioner’s gender identity, the action for a change of name is exempt from the requirement for publication of the order to show cause under this subdivision."
I was planning to switch my driver's license gender to non-binary when I renew/convert it to REAL ID in 2020 anyway, but this will eliminate the "$65 to publish order to show cause for 4 weeks in a newspaper" in the budget & I will pay the "$27 to change CA driver's license" since I need to pay that anyway. So that mainly leaves the San Diego, CA Superior Court filing fee (still $435 Effective August 1, 2018), $? certified copy (or 2 certified copies?) of Decree of Name Change, and $23 to change birth certificate per
https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CHSI/CDPH%20Document%20Library/ADA_Court%20order%20name%20change%20(01-18).pdf (not optional, required to change name on REAL ID driver's license). I've mostly filled out the 5 court forms, so they will just need a legal review before I sign/date them.
