I've begun changing my preferred name (not even the legal stuff yet). It's shocking how many places I've used my name on, and even just updating my professional stuff (LinkedIn, website, GitHub, GitLab) has taken over 10 hours. Granted, I also bought new domains and went through the lengthy process of changing my GSuite account over, but it really shows just how much work this will be. I'm ready to be rid of my birthname, though I probably won't have the time to do the legal change until next summer.
