I think anyone convicted of a serious violent crime or sex crime should not be legally allowed to change name.

Would solve a lot of problems.

For me, it just makes basic sense that anyone who has committed any crime should not be allowed to change their name, but especially the crimes you mentioned.

There's a case somewhere where a TiM who committed truly awful crimes is petitioning to change his name, and also change the law to allow it, and I think he's going to win. If I find it, I will post.
