As you can see everything has complete change, and is changing, for me. But why the changes? Why now at age 46?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The truth is I’m making these changes now because I can. The time has been made available. Anyone who knows me knows I’ve been wanting to leave America and change my name. Well I did the first thing on this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of February 10, 2026, the courts will allow me to legally change my name to Alexander Tracy Pyerse or simply Lex Pyerse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexander: First Name<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Alexander is my birth middle name. I feel close to Lex now that I’ve been called this for about five years or so. However, I want a little different between my corporation and my author or pen name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pyerse: Surname<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pyerse is because this is the spelling I used as a pen name to stomach being called Pierce Jr. I hated this name because it felt like I was the 2.0 of Pierce Sr. And I hated being compared to him. So one day, I just changed it I to a Y and the C to an S and ran with it. To be honest, Pyerse Dandridge wasn’t supposed to be a permeant name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Also Pierce Jr never felt like MY name. I had a difficult time putting “the P-I spelling” on a creative project that I worked so hard on. It felt like I was putting “his name” on my work and not mine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, me and Pierce Sr. have a good relationship. We have solved and ended our problems and issues. But Tracy has always felt like my dad. In fact, I introduce Tracy as dad whenever I can. Pyerse is something that I am very much identified with over the last twenty or so years, maybe even thirty. I know the phonetic sound is still the same, but Pyerse feels like MY NAME. Because of that, I am making it my surname.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tracy: Middle Name<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tracy, as mentioned above is the man I considered dad. He’s my mom’s second husband. They have been married since 1987. He’s been a staple in my life ever since. Everything I learned about manhood came from Tracy. He was the one who did all the actual work of a dad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The only reason I don’t actually call him Dad is because he didn’t like me or my brother calling him that. He felt that title was for Pierce Sr. However, within a few years, Tracy understood that Pierce Sr. wasn’t worthy of that title. But by then, me and my brother already called Tracy by his first name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Matching Corporation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The other cool thing about this name change is that my name now perfectly fits my corporation’s name Lex Pyerse. I already have people calling me Lex because they assumed it was my name at events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, I have this change out of the way. It really feels like an accomplishment. I also feel like I have a new path ahead of me. It feels like my own path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As you can see everything has complete change, and is changing, for me. But why the changes?
