Should I Change My Last Name?

I was born with the last name Capone. This hasn't been a problem until lately. It seems like i can't go anywhere without immedatly being judged by my last name. As soon as someone hears that I'm a Capone looked at like I'm part of the Italian Mafia. This is bothersome because i, unlike my ancestors have no connection with the Mafia.

    No, your identity is your name passed down from generation to generation. I have watched the news and seen my last name come up over and over again on both sides of the law. So i would not think twice about it.

        Never change your last name. It will look like you have AKA's and not seen well by many specially employers However you can do is use your other parents last name that would not be a  bad idea. Are you male or female? If you are female get married change your name..but not just for the name you know what  I mean don't you?
        I know it happened to me. I have an AKA was adopted elegally and has created many problems in my life in fact just my name has caused me to lose: LOVE fame and great fortune. So instead of just changing it. Choose another one of your parents last names. In any case you can always say. Oh that is my Moms name I like it so much I wan to use it  and I like it better than my other relatives name. That will be just fine.

        Wont it seem more suspicious if you do change it? Al Capone is from the 20/30's surely people have moved on a little, look in the telephone directory bet there are loads of capones, I can only presume that you are taking it too heart/thought about it yourself a little too much, and so possibly over conscious of it? And possibly if strangers (cashiers etc.) are making an kind of comment to you over it that they may just be using it as something to talk to you about, as a kind of ice breaker.
