Has anyone given in the birth certificate form in the hospital after giving birth and then decided to change the name? My daughter was born a couple days ago and we signed the birth certificate form with a certain name. Today we decided that we want to name the baby a different name. Any ideas about how to go about changing the baby's legal name? (the name would have to be changed on the birth certificate, social security card, and insurance card)

I just did it for my baby, and it's actually a long and annoying process! We had to go down to the courts 3 times till we got it right and that was just to change his name. Then we had to change the social security card (that part was easy) and the birth certificate.
My advice is do it fast before you start putting her name down on different records. Also, talk to your hospital, they may have some program to help with it.
One last thing, is this a complete name change, or change of spelling or adding a name. If its spelling/addition, do it fast before 30 days, the process is way way simpler and I think free.

What about changing the spelling after 30 days? Is it just as hard as changing the name altogether?

If I remember correctly, you could do a spelling change on the birth certificate up to 12 months through the hospital. But then you would have to take care of all the other documents, such as social security cards, by yourself.
