Lindon v. First National Bank
- Lindon v. First National Bank
Lindon v. First National Bank (1882), 10 F. 894, is one of the very earliest precedent-setting federal court cases involving common law name change.
A woman who had changed her last name to one that was not her husband's original surname name at birth was trying to claim control over her inheritance. The court ruled in her favor, "At common law a man may change his name, and he is bound by any contract into which he may enter in his adopted or reputed name, and by his known and recognized name he may sue and be sued." This set forth many things. By common law, one may lawfully change their name and be "known and recognized" by that new name. Also, one may enter into any kinds of contracts in their new adopted name. Contracts include employment (see "Coppage v. Kansas" 236 U.S. 1). And one can be recognized legally in court in their new name.
