We named both Erick and Jayden when we accepted their referrals. For Erick, that was his Guatemalan name, so there was nothing to change. Jayden's name was "Victor" and that just didn't appeal to us. We had already decided that we liked the name Jayden, so we changed it. For the first few days we went back and forth, sometimes calling him Jayden in one sentence and then Victor in another. But, as we got more used to the idea he became Jayden. We still have to use his given name sometimes, though, on paperwork, etc. Also, remember that you won't be able to officially change your child's name until he/she is in the United States.
