But the Virginia Supreme Court【C6】______   the lower court saying that there was nothing in the law【C7】______ indicated that a name could only be changed after【C8】______ . The court then pointed out that【C9】______ the common law, a person is free to adopt a new name as【C10】______ as it’s not for a fraudulent purpose or to cheat creditors.【C11】______ you live in New York, however, you【C12】______ well have a more difficult time changing your name. A woman named Copperman went to【C13】______ to have her name changed to Copperperson. She explained that she believed in the feminist【C14】  and felt that the name Copperperson could more properly【C15】______ her sense of human equality than could the name Copperman.【C16】______ New York Supreme Court Justice John Scileppi did not agree with her reasoning and refused to【C17】______ the change-of-name request. He wrote that "the possibilities are【C18】______ endless and this would truly be【C19】______ the realm of nonsense." So Miss Copperman,【C20】______ she gets married, or move to Virginia.
