Anonymous asked: How do I use a different last name without having to go through all the paperwork & such to legally change it if I don't want to? I know many actors/musicians go by different names but how does it work? I'm going to be an artist & I'd like to go by a different last name.
I don’t know the legalese of it, but a pseudonym isn’t a legal change. You just use it on novels or albums or whatever. You still do all your contract stuff under your real name as the company you’re dealing with would need to know all your real personal information. If you want to legally change it later, you can. Like good old Chad Ochocinco.
