What's the name for a high school diploma?

HELP: Change my name on my high school diploma?

• I'm so pissed at my mom. When I was born they wanted to name me after my grandma Hava (hebrew), so they wanted to put my middle name as the translation for her name. Nobody in my family knew the translation so she put my name as Arielle Joy on my birth certificate. A few years later I had a cousin born and they named her Eve. When my parents asked why they named her that, the family said it was after grandma Hava. The family claims that they "didn't remember" the translation of Hava when I was born because of how obvious the translation actually was... Adam&Eve... Adam&Hava. ANYWAY.... So my legal name is Arielle Joy. But when we moved to florida my dumb mother put my name as Arielle Eve in the school system. So now on my high school diploma it has Arielle Eve. First of all, I don't even want Eve. Second of all, it's causing issues with applying for jobs, school, financial aid, etc because I don't know what middle name to put since my high school diploma doesn't match my driver's license, social sec card, etc. My mom called my high school's guidance office and the lady says they can;t change it because they can't change high school records once you graduate. I told my mom we should just physically go in and talk to the principal. I hate looking at the thing... I worked my way through 4 years of high school to get a diploma with a name on it that isn't even my actual name. Is there ANY possible way to change this? Please.

• Answer:

  i agree that talking in person often gets you more of an answer. remind them that is is legal document and it is incorrect. if the y do not help you after that contact the school board for your high school and bring the problem up with them good luck (my husband has had similar issues with his middle name being spelled incorrectly)
