when i went to court I immediately asked to meet with the judge in his chambers and was granted, told him the whole strange story, had a message I played to him in chambers from an aunt and it was about lunch time he had me call her and talk to her and she was getting all worked up because I told her I was legally changing my name, she hung up on me eventually, he had us go to the court room put it on record we were let out for lunch, a while later he had me in chambers again after re-convening court HE called her and started asking about me, and she thought I was arrested, and facing charges (I have obtained 1 traffic ticket in my life and that was my only "run in" with the law). the judge finally told her I was in his chambers listening to her on speaker phone and when I talked to her earlier it was on speaker phone also in chambers, and I was going to get my name change and if she ever harassed me again over it she was going to hear from him. because he heard her try to intimidate me over the phone and I could get a restraining order and any contact after that she'd be in jail, and no one would doubt a judge's word on what he heard her say. She didn't like it one bit, she called him the n word and he immediately told her to be quiet and issued then a restraining order for me because of her attitude toward him. She got madder yet and asked how I got the middle name that no one in the family had my former now new first name or my new middle name. I raised my hand to the judge indicating to let me speak and asked if her mother was her twin sisters mother (my mother's mother, well duh yes) she said yes I said wasn't her brother named my first name? yes was the reply, I was like how is my great uncle not my family then? she had no answer just started mumbling. I stated my new middle name was my father's father's middle name (yes my paternal grandfather). Plus I said it was one of the world's first names ever given and the first recorded murder victim of record, that is if you believe the Jewish Torah, or the Christian Bible. who hasn't heard of Cain killing Able?
