I must disagree in the gentlest possible way, based on practice in the United States, with the remark about needing a good reason to change your name. Things I have read years ago said you do not even need to go before a judge to change your name, as long as it is for a lawful purpose.
"Change of Name" is discussed on pages 30-37 of "Treasury of Name Lore," by Elsdon C. Smith, published 1967. References include Law on Names, pages 107-109. Page 107 covers the freedom to select any name you choose.
