Our little one was not quite four when we brought her home. Her Russian name was quite a mouth full and we couldn't really figure out a way to use it. We changed it to something similar. Much like waitinginnj she began to recognize the name in days. I think she thought we were pronouncing it incorrectly at first. 7 1/2 months later she completely understands what her name was in Russian and what it is here in America. She tells us that that was her Russian name and this is her American name. She's just so happy to be an American though that she wants everything about her to be American.
