Dear Jennifer, What is your opinion on legally changing your name simply because you don’t like it? I’m 30, and I’ve never liked my name. It just doesn’t feel like “me.” I was born “Chelsea,” and started spelling it “Chelsi” when I was 13 in an effort to improve how I felt about my name….

Hi Grandma, I actually have a few questions. First is about age. I am 22 and I want to have a kid, but I’m not sure that I’m ready for one just yet. However, I don’t want to be “old” when I have one. Most people laugh at me when I say that. But that’s honestly…
