A 43-year-old Staten Island resident and mother of five, petitioned the court to change her name from Nancy Evelina Tones to “JesusChrist Evilina Lucifer-Obama.”

Ruling on the application, Civil Court Judge Matthew Blum noted that name changes are governed by Civil Rights Law §63 in New York and that, absent reasonable objection, individuals are free to change their name as they see fit by order of the court upon successful completion of an application that requires certain documentation.
