What are you on about?
People might not take an applicant with such a name seriously, or think of them as unhinged for using it.
It won't be named that forever.
I was thinking of situations where you're required to use your legal name. I realize this is Australia and not the US so things probably work different than I expect.
As soon as you legally change your name, it becomes your legal name. The only places where you would need to state that original name might be on something like a passport / visa / or tax return.
They are already planning to change the child's name.
