Adopting a nickname or stage name requires no legal paperwork, though cashing or depositing a check made out to that name presents problems. Names can be changed legally, by filing change-of-name paperwork with a court, and paying a fee. In England this is commonly called a "deed poll", or "deed of change of name". Different jurisdictions have different policies, toward changing one's name.
You file the completed forms at the courthouse and attend a hearing. Some states require that you publish a notice in the local newspaper too and some states also have you sign a form or complete a fingerprint card so they can do a background check on you.
