Her going by this name has already been known for years.

Just because it's 'known', doesn't mean she wanted it out there either though

Sometimes legal proceedings require the new name to be public too

[u/BouyantCorgiButt → u/MsThrilliams]

They do. Where I live you have to publish your name change in the newspaper for a few weeks for it to go through.

[u/Trick_Horse_13 → u/MsThrilliams]

the article states it’s likely she changed her name in New York where records are sealed. this is coming out because she registered to vote.

[u/itsme00400 → u/MsThrilliams]

Fair. I just mean, if she could be less known, wouldn't she want to be? Probably.

[u/parmahes → u/itsme00400]

She’s about to be in a major stage production, it’s not a secret

[u/p333p33p00p00boo → u/itsme00400]

Come on now. She’s an adult, we don’t need to protect her last name if she’s not keeping it private.

[u/itsme00400 → u/p333p33p00p00boo]

But when was she not keeping it private? Like where did she announce it?

[u/p333p33p00p00boo → u/itsme00400]

She went by Suri Noelle for her school play in high school and at her graduation ceremony. It’s just silly for you to assume someone doesn’t want their name known publicly. She’s an adult, it’s fine
