Death Note Question (Anime)

[mattdabatt]

okay i had an interesting question for fans.
So my name given to me by my parents is John Doe.
But later on i change my name legally to Matt Batt.
Will the death note still work on me?
my take on this is since the death note is all about rules it will take on the laws side. but even if you deny your name i'm still John Doe, it was given to me by my parents. basically god. So i assume it will counter each other so it wont even work at all.

it will work as long as the person has shinmagmi eyes to see your true name, but I oculd be wrong they might only need to write matt batt becasue you got it changed, I dont beleive such a scenario was explained in that anime, but It has been a long time since I saw it, so who knows.

Your birth name is what will kill you.

Mr. Doe.

HA.

Yeah, I'm not sure... Only watched Death Note, like, twice.

Possibly thrice, but don't bet on that.

You just have to picture the person's face that you want killed, along with their name... so it could be that both could work... who knows :S
