Answer 2

Every state has different laws. A judge always approves a name change unless it is for the reason of deception, to avoid identification or the name is considered vulgar or abusive.

Answer 3

Yes, but you kind of have to prove that you are not doing it to escape creditors or to evade legal action or any bad reason like that. You probably need an attorney to do the papers.
