Summary: Multiple name changes

First, I would like to apologize for posting such a simple question to the board.  I understand the policies and I did not research my issue well enough.  Below are all the responses I got, in particular, the first link that was provided that offers a great deal of info and would of answered my question if I searched correctly.  

Thank you again to everyone who replied with answers and advice to helping me with this. 

Thanks,

Paul


 - If you do not have something nice to say, do not say it at all.
