Hi all.



was just wondering if anyone has any experience of changing their persons name to avoid media attention/recognition.



I'm aware that they can use both old and new names in court but was more wondering about how successful that was for people.



and if people have done it was it done before/after charging? If so, how did you know they were going to be charged and changed it beforehand as I've read you can be charged at any point (so you wouldn't know it was coming and be able to change name).

also,how did it affect work if any? As in did they havd to tell their work for HR or payroll things or not?


hope you understand what I mean. Thanks
