Hello!

Help needed please in an attempt to honour late family and heritage through name changes.

If a second middle name is added to child's name via deed poll, then their parents marry, upon reregistering the child, is the new added middle name included on the new birth certificate issued?

Also, if a parent changes their surname via deedpoll prior to the marriage, can the child then also take this new surname (along with the other parent), upon reregistering?

I.e.
Parent via deed poll-
John White changes to John Brown

Child via deed poll-
Jane Ann White changes to
Jane Ann Mary White

Is it then possible for the below to take place:

Child via reregistry-
(Original BC) Jane Ann White
(Deed Poll) Jane Ann Mary White (New BC) Jane Ann Mary Brown??

Thanks so much for any help given! It would mean alot to us all.

Does the child want to change their name?

I'm sorry, I can't help
Why don't you search info from you town council webpage or ask a lawyer? Maybe your local community have free legal help you can ask?

@Meandfour thanks for replying! Child is older than 12 months, but I appreciate the suggestion.

How old is the child? You can get a new birth certificate with the new name before 12 months with no need for a deed poll.
