N-400 application: extra fee on name change

[xxhwx]

I am planning to change my first name and middle name during the naturalization process and I wonder if the USCIS charges you extra (on top of the $675) for the number of letters your new names contain? The reason I ask this question is a friend of mine who got naturalized 2-3 years back told me the USCIS charged (he also changed his first name) extra for name contains more than 4 letters. Is this true?

There's no extra charge for a name change as part of the naturalization process, regardless of how many letters the name contains.

however, if your name contains numbers or special characters, they will charge you extra
