---- Can changing your legal name affect your domain's pagerank?

Just thought I would give an update on this. I filed a reconsideration request explaining about the changing of my name on the whois records. While I never got a response back my site did go back to PR6 and I have checked on approximately 60 datacenters and it is all showing the same again.

While PR wasn't that important thing to me, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't any penalties on the domain because of the name change as I didn't want traffic to be affected.

So while I am not sure if the reconsideration request was the reason for the fix or not, at this moment all seems back to how it was. I should note that traffic never did get affected by this, only PR for about 2 days. If anything changes I will give an update for anybody else who ever has a similiar issue.
