When we moved away from our family and those that had hurt us so bad. I had change my name it was not in any way of getting back at them but a way to stop the reminders of all the time I was abused and called by that name. I(WE) took our time and researched names for what we wanted to become my chosen name means stong woman full of grace and mighty worrorer. So when you do fallow through with it or not just looking at the meaning of names just may help you find out what you want to believe in youself not the lies someone forced you to beleive as a child. The change in me (Us) did not happen over night but it gave us a goal, something to believe in until we found the faith in our hearts to accept our selves and the belief in our minds as well good luck. And all you need to do it go to your local court house to fill in the paper work. They should have a legal libarary or google it on line. WE can honestly say that it was a big help in our healing no longer being called a negative word no more. Good luck!
