Expert's Assistant chat
Customer: Hi, I would like to know what happens when a minors name is ***** ***** twice? I am not happy with my child's given name due to some reasons I don't want to explain and I would like to know what are the consequences with her having two legal name changes in the future, my main concern is when after she turns 18. The reason being I have already legally changed her forenames when she was a baby before she turned 1. Thank you

I understand with the limit of only 3 name changes in ones lifetime. I am not taking this decision lightly and just wanted to be sure of her not encountering any problems in the future with two name changes.
