What would you need to do in order to change your legal first, middle, and last name (if you're male)?

The process isn't much different for males or females, friend.

In the USA, in most states you can change your name just by common usage. That is, just use the new name all the time, and it's yours!

But you want to do it legally. In that case, you'll need to go through a lengthier process. Start by contacting a lawyer or your local county court to find out what paperwork you'll need to file. Usually, this includes a petition for name change, and a number of consent forms. You'll have to get the approval of the court, and you'll have to make a public notice of the name change (such as a classified ad in your local paper). Bear in mind that you'll have a number of fees to pay, as well. Most courts will accept any name, so long as it's not chosen for fraudulent puposes (i.e. you can't name yourself after a celebrity or business in hopes of profiting from the change). And, of course, after the change, you have to notify everyone from the SSA to your credit card company.
