Would you ever consider legally changing your name (for reasons other than marriage/divorce)?

I have legally and officially changed my name today. As a transsexual person, I’ve got rid of my original female name and adopted a male one. Over the year or two in which I was debating and deciding on what my new name would be, it occurred to me that changing one’s name is an almost spiritual thing, like a rite of passage, because you can choose something that is truly meaningful and significant. I’ve wondered why more people don’t do it, even when their name is something they don’t like. Would you ever consider changing your own name?
