Hi. I have recently received my citizenship ceremony appointment and waiting to apply for my British Passport. Before getting the British Passport I want to change my current first and middle name (while keeping the surname). I also want to keep my other nationality so I can have dual nationalities. Will my name change in the UK affect my other nationality ? Do I have to change my name in all the passports or I can keep my current name for the old passport which belong to my other nationality ?

Sorry it's complicated to describe this and I hope someone could help me out !

Many thanks.

You can ask the other country's consulate for their rules. For UK Passport you need to change name through Deed poll and attach proof with Passport application I believe.
