can I change my name? lol
This is a very random question..But lets say my name is like Anna right? Can I change it to Annie? Or, you know...Not change it. Just use it. =) It's basically the same thing, right?

I actually know someone that changed their name from anna to annie, like legally when they turned 18
if your name is anna, deff go by annie bc its a nickname.
all nicknames -- you can "just use them"...

You can do what you want.
I have a situation like that. James is my middle name, and I've been called Jack.
You're fine.

Do you mean you wish to be legally recognized as Annie? If so, then you must go through the entire processs of getting your name changed and appear at court. Of course you could just go by Annie, but you should sign all official documents with Anna.

You can be CALLED anything you want. If your real name's Anna but you want to be called Annie, no problem. A lot of people have nicknames.
Now, if you want to legally change your name, as in when you sign the lease for a car, buy things, sign ANYTHING, etc. you'll have to do some paperwork. But anyone can change their name if they want to.
This WikiHow has a lot of info. Not all the steps will apply to everyone, especially if you're young:

If you're under 18, I'm not entirely sure how you'd go about changing it. Your parents would most likely have to approve. If you don't really hate your name (like some people hate their names because they're named after their parent, for example) it'd be a whole lot easier to just have a nickname. :)
