What do you mean by "on my live one after another"?

"I've had trouble ... since I changed my name." Yes the first clause should be in the present perfect if you are stilling having trouble.
The middle of your sentence is incomprehensible, but I don't think it will change this opinion. It would still be interesting to know what you mean.

I want to say: Trouble in my life, such as a impolite new neighbor, a partial new superior, my leaky roof, a barking dog always at midnight and so on, emerged one after another when I changed my name.


I want to rephrase it as a concise one, but I don't know how to rewrite it.


Could I say "I have had trouble on my life one by one since I changed my name."?


Thanks a lot.

Yes the first clause should be in the present perfect if you are stilling having trouble.

In addition, I have a question about if my trouble have gone, could I use the simple past?

"I've had constant/multiple/ongoing problems in my life since I changed my name."
"I've had nothing but problems in my life since I changed my name."

I cannot understand how problems with neighbours, barking dogs or a leaking roof can have any connection to changing your name.

There's no accounting for the superstitions of others.

That's true. Mind you, it seems to me that the logical thing to do is to change the name back and see if the strange occurrences stop.
