  You can get any lawyer and do a deed poll to change your name officially.

  Once done, take the deed poll cert to ICA and change your IC.

  The deed poll cost about $100 plus, depends on which lawyer u get and yr relationship with him. Some can even do it for free.

  People change name for different reasons. Some for luck which is my case. Some find it oddward, Some to avoid debtors or whatever.

  But whatever the reason, it's rather normal to change name nowadays. I did it three times over the year.

  Btw, you dun need a reason to change your name. But as for surname... seldom heard off, unless maybe u want a clean break from your family or whatever. Know of one case where the father was given away to another family and after the adopted grand parent passed on, the whole family change their surname from "Tan" to "Guo"

  Heard stories similar... Back in the 60s-70s, either doctor or nurse anyhow write or handwriting damn jia lat.
  
  People's surname become something else. Like "Lin" become "Lih"... Become got special surname.
