I think it is a wondeful idea. Both our 5 & 3 year old adopted children were eager for their new names as well and helped pick them out.

I agree that it marks a new begining for the kids...which most of them definately need. It has really helped our kids to feel like they are part of their new family. I like to try and incorporate some part of their birth name in the new name....to help signify that they are still the same person just kinda reborn....into another family, another life.
