The name you want to live under and the name you have built up

Realistic synthesis
The people, events, figures, and technology in this matter are stated assumptions. They are not to be treated as information about real individuals or as observed events. Background documents are separate sources, and symbolic interpretations are recorded as discovery paths.
The question to decide
Friends already call them by the new name they want, but the family cherishes the old name carrying their ancestors' wishes, and their work history has built up under that name. The official change procedure has not been confirmed either. Should they pursue the use of the name and the change application now, transition gradually, or keep the existing name?
