Question

My sons name is Ryan, and soon he is starting his acting career but from childhood we all call him Chad, but this name was not in his birth certtificate, we just call him that, so what my question means is that when he gets into his acting career can his name be Chad ryan scott, not ryan scott, or b4 we do that we have to talk to a counciller or whatever. I hope you guys know what i mean, sorry if you dont understand. no mean answers.

Answer 1

Even if it's not legally done he can always go by an alias. Numerous actors go by names that aren't legally theirs.  

Answer 2

Lots of actors/musicians go by different names. Talk to your son's manager about it.
