April 22, 1969, in a brief ceremony on the roof of Apple Corps headquarters, supervised by commissioner Bueno de Mesquita.
Lennon hated his middle name Winston (given to him by his mother in a moment of wartime patriotism, after Winston Churchill) and wanted to drop it, but was told he couldn't under British law. He was allowed to add a new name; he chose Ono to honor his new wife Yoko, and the name was added by deed poll. He told the media "Yoko changed her name for me (when they were married), I've changed mine for her."
From then on, Lennon gave his middle name as Ono when asked, and signed any legal paperwork "John Ono Lennon" or "JOL" (his initials); his subsequent Wedding Album with Yoko Ono, and first single record of 1970 ("Instant Karma!" b/w "Who Has Seen The Wind?") were credited to "John Ono Lennon and Yoko Ono Lennon".
After winning his US Immigration case (clearing the way for him to receive his long-desired "green card"), his Resident Alien registration was issued to "John Winston Ono Lennon"; the only time he used his full legal name after 1969.
