A person can always go to court and get his name changed to anything he wishes. Changing a name at marriage is legal without going to court. Removing a name does take a court action, I believe. I doubt I ever have to find out for sure. Hello, Actually, removing a name is as easy as adding one. When I got married, I wanted to keep my maiden name. My partner wanted me to take his name. After several heated discussions, we compromised, and for 14 years, I lived with a hyphenated last name. Since I already have a hyphenated first name, you can imagine the confusion and variations of names!!!! All I had to do to take the hyphenated last name, was sign the mariage papers with it. Then, when I left him, I wanted to drop his name. The lawyer told me that all I had to do was sign the separation papers with the maiden name only, and use it. There was no problem, as a matter of fact people found Lise-Aurore Lapalme much easier to handle than Lise-Aurore Lapalme-Roy. Either way, at least in Canada, it's very easy to hyphenate or de-hyphenate.
