Washington, August 13, 2010 (Just Flashed): A 44-year-old male of suburban Pittsburgh named Gary Guy Mathews has been famous for dressing up as a dog for gatherings and merrymakings. He had requested a judge on Tuesday to grant him the judicial permission to transform his legal name to 'Boomer the Dog'.

Gary Guy Mathews, who stems from Green Tree, had presented his plea to the Judge, Robert Folino, of the Common Pleas Court of the Allegheny County. The hearing was conducted on Tuesday. The petitioner, Gary Guy Mathews, had articulated that he was engaged with 'furries'. Furries is an association of persons, who get into animal attires. This association has a twelve-monthly conference in Pittsburgh.

Mathews mentioned to the judge that his name and set of clothes were rooted in the chief personality from 'Here's Boomer'. This happened to be a transitory NBC series about a lost mutt that saves human beings from peril. Mathews declared that many of his chums already allude to him as 'Boomer' and that his parents had even begun to get close to the moniker prior to their demise.

Judge Folino, however, repudiated the request of Mathews on Wednesday to modify his name to Boomer the Dog. The judge mentioned that it would create uncertainty and have unintentional ramifications, which may place public wellbeing in jeopardy. The judge has divulged that the alteration of the name could result in bewilderment in the market such as in commercial proceedings and public papers. There could be graver ramifications too.

The judge asserted that one such grave ramification could be that a telephone call by Mathews seeking an urgent medical response could be deemed to be a hoax by the department of urgent medical response. The reason for that could be that the new name of Mathews, if approved, would be 'Boomer The Dog'. It is quite likely that the emergency medical response officer will misconstrue this name and think that the call is from a prankster. Therefore, the squad of the emergency medical response may not be sent to the site requested by the caller.

Name alterations are rather widespread and often endorsed by the courthouses as long as the petitioners establish that they are not endeavoring to conceal their illegal pasts or evading their monetary responsibilities. Judge Folino has observed that the Pennsylvanian law supplies the judges some leeway to utilize their prudence to repudiate name changes if the new name is weird or unjustifiably prolonged or hard to voice or if the name is possessive of a ludicrous and distasteful subtext.
