HELLO, MY NAME IS ____

NY moniker makeovers

Seeking to be emancipated of his birth name, Edmundo Delvalle of The Bronx wants to be known as Abraham Lincoln.

Delvalle — who is not presidential enough to have a press secretary or any other way to be reached by a reporter — is one of 6,663 New Yorkers who filed name-change petitions in city courts this year.

Another man who sought a presidential-sounding name is a 59year-old Staten Islander originally named Joseph Faysokov.

He first changed his name to Joseph F. Kennedy. Now he’s seeking an upgrade to an even more powerful moniker, God God.

Some people want names that are less ethnic. Others want the surname of the parents who raised them. Transgender people change their names to reflect a new sexual identity.

And some people simply want something hipper — or less awkward.

Waldo Mejia wants to be Anthony Luciano. Bort Schmidt prefers Herbert Bartholomew Schmidt.

A Staten Islander changed his name to one word — Deezo. But unlike Madonna or Cher, Deezo had a hard time when he put down his new single-word signature on bank and job applications. So he went back to court and changed his name again, to Deezo B. Strong.

“It’s my outlook on life. Be safe, stay strong. It’s gotten me through life,” Strong told The Post.

Some name-changers want to be fabulous — Aladdin, Princesa, Samson.

Others want names that send a message — Jesus Loves Peace, Air, Les Than More.

One Brooklynite has filed 108 name-change petitions, paying the $65 filing fee each time. He’s filed to become Home Houseman, Jack Potter, Lot Towinner, and Worldwide Webber.

But whenever a judge is about to rule on his new name, he chickens out.

“He files a petition, but then gets buyer’s remorse and withdraws the petition,” said a court source, who noted that the man has not been refunded the $7,020 he paid in fees.

Forty-six women officially named “female,” and 45 men named “male,” are all seeking new names this year. They were likely the result of indecisive parents who couldn’t choose a name in time for the birth certificate.

Changing your name is the ultimate freedom, said one judge who has approved more than 1,000 petitions.

“The right to change your name is one of the things that makes America great!” said Staten Island Civil Court Judge Philip Straniere. “You can become who you want to be and give yourself a new start in life. You can pretty much select any name you like, limited only by your imagination and good taste. You can choose a name that will make people smile or one where people might question your sanity or motive. But it’s your choice.

“The only caveat is that you have to convince a judge that it’s a good idea.”
