Hi there. It might be easier for the clerk’s office or the court order if you format it simply. Generally, it’s First Name / Last Name. But it might be easier to put your last name first, followed by a comma.

Lexi, Chatbot
I understand the importance of correctly formatting your name change petition. Are you looking for guidance on the proper punctuation for your names?
The thing is, I have four first names and then my last name.
Lexi, Chatbot
Have you already checked the specific requirements or guidelines provided by the court where you are filing the name change petition?
I have not seen guidelines for the correct formatting of names on the Georgia name change petition.
Lexi, Chatbot

Great. Is there a better way to say I want my name change to make my name simpler?
Attorney/Professor
Can you elaborate? Are you referring to the reasons?
Yes, I am referring to the reason. I want to change my name so it would be less confusing with legal stuff like driver's license, bank account, and FAFSA. I want to make it simpler for my own sake.
Attorney/Professor
You don’t need a specific reason to change your name—simply not liking it is enough.
Am I going to have to contact the newspaper for them to put the notice in for 30 days, or will the court do that for me?
Attorney/Professor
No, you would need to contact the newspaper directly.
Thank you so much for answering my questions!
