Aaron Paul and Lauren Parsekian ‘file petition to change their surnames AND baby son’s legal name’
>
Aaron Paul has petitioned to legally change his last name to Paul van Sturtevant and change his son’s first names – reports TMZ.
The Breaking Bad actor, 43, was born Aaron Paul Sturtevant but took his stage name because his last name was too difficult to pronounce.
Paul and his wife Lauren Parsekian, 35, have filed the petition to change their surnames, as well as the legal first names of their son Ryden Caspian, 7 months, who is currently legally named Casper Emerson.

The publication reports that Aaron and Lauren detailed how to name their son in the hospital, before later changing their minds and switching to Ryden.
They also state that the reason for the deposit is that they “want to keep the family name consistent.” They are also parents to daughter Story, four.
Dailymail.com has reached out to Aaron Paul’s representative for comment.
Paul and Parsekian married in 2013 after meeting at Coachella in 2009. The following year, they reunited at the music festival and the couple shared their first kiss.

They got engaged on New Year’s Eve in 2011, while the couple were enjoying their vacation in Paris.
In August, Aaron and Breaking Bad co-star Bryan Cranston reprise their iconic roles for a “highly anticipated crossover” on the final season of You better call Saul.
The pair returned as beloved characters Water White and Jesse Pinkman for the sixth season.
A spokesperson for Stan said, “Bryan and Aaron have both won numerous awards for their incredible roles, including Golden Globes and Primetime Emmys, making their final season inclusion a must-watch event for Breaking Bad fans.”
Breaking Bad ran on AMC for five seasons from 2008 to 2013.

Bryan’s Walter was a terminally ill chemistry teacher in New Mexico who made and traded methamphetamine with his former student Jesse, played by Aaron.
The show received tons of critical acclaim, including 16 Primetime Emmy Awards and two Peabody Awards.
It starred many well-known actors and actresses including Anna Gunn, RJ Mitte and Bob Odenkirk who played Saul Goodman.
Bob, 59, landed his title spin-off series Better Call Saul, which serves as a prequel to Breaking Bad, in 2015.
Like its predecessor, it garnered critical acclaim and numerous awards and nominations, including four Golden Globes and nine Critics’ Choice Awards.
The Primetime Emmy Award nominee revealed in March that he was nearly bankrupt before taking on the role of Saul in Breaking Bad.
“I got a call saying ‘They’re going to offer you a part in Breaking Bad,'” which he admitted at the time was not a “popular or big show” that came out of the first season.
“Don’t say no,” my agent says. I was like, “Dude, I haven’t said no in a year and a half, maybe you haven’t noticed,” Odenkirk joked.
He said he was still watching the show and wanted to know what it was about, adding that he called a friend he’d written with, Reid Harrison, who told him, ‘Oh, that’s the best show on TV. You must.’
Odenkirk debuted in the eighth episode of Breaking Bad’s second season when Walter and Jesse hired Saul after Badger (Matt Jones) was arrested by the DEA.
