I noticed a long time ago that credit bureaus keep a list of all aliases used by a person. Sometimes they are just incorrectly spelled names submitted from a loan application. Other times they are variations of your name that you may have used.

Example:

File Name: George Walker Bush

Other names used: George Bush, Goorge W. Bush, G. Walker Bush, Walker Bush.

Since they so closely monitor changes and variations of a name, if you inform them and your creditors (who report this info to the credit bureaus almost every 30 days anyway) of your name change, I don't think it would negatively affect your credit file in any way because they are definitely keeping up with changes to your name.

What I wonder about are the incorrectly spelled names submitted from a loan application (finance dept) that makes it look more like a fraudulent name was purposely used.
