Can African-Americans adopt a Japanese-American name legally?

Answer 1

This is America.... You can go to court for a small fee and legally change your name to "Mickey Mouse" if you'd like.

Answer 2

Under US law, as long as you reason for changing your name is legal, there are no restrictions on what you change it to. I agree with the person that said their is no such thing as a Japanese-American name. There are names that come from Japan and those that don't. Its not 'politically correct', but I would argue there is no such thing as an African-American. You are either and American or you are not. Most so called African-Americans have never been to Africa anyway. Even if the had, that would make them Americans of African descent.

Answer 3

No such thing as a Japanese-American name. It's either a Japanese name or it isn't; there are no American names, except maybe Pocahontas or something. Leave the political correctness at the liberal university.

Answer 4

Hell yeah that's! Our names arent african first of all interior the 1st place, so i dont see no longer something incorrect, i think of that any one ought to alter their call to something decrease than the solar as long as they are thoroughly happy with it!

Yes, absolutely. You can change your name at any district courthouse for about $40.

Of course.
