What?? I changed my name in 2001 (got married) and in 2013 (divorce final), and I don't remember IEEE being difficult either time. Now eBay in 2001 had a lot of hoops! I did get my name change request down to a form letter with a copy of the applicable certificate, tho'.
However, IEEE should NOT be the gatekeeper of valid reasons to change names. I'm sorry I didn't keep records of what I had to do to get my name change, but I'll join you for WTF-ing - officially to IEEE if it would help!
