‘Petitioner is taking the last name of her spouse,’ the court papers state.
Reading about Portia De Rossi (not her real name) filing papers in an LA court to change her name to DeGeneres makes me want to change mine even more. I already filled out the paperwork, but the daunting task of dealing with those lovely government employees at the Santa Monica Courthouse is something I’ve been avoiding. Lynn and I have been married for five years, as opposed to Ellen & Portia’s two, and I just feel more like an Alexander Warren than an Alexander Ali. I should do that today… Portia already did and it won’t even become official until after a hearing in September.

The Australian-born star legally changed her name to Portia De Rossi when she was 15, taking Portia from a character in The Merchant Of Venice and De Rossi because she wanted an exotic European name.
