I will be finalizing my son's adoption next month and am changing his name, I altered his first name and totally changed his middle. I changed his first name to a formal version of his original name and gave him a new middle name. He now calls himself by the informal name plus his new middle name. I feel that he can always change it back when he is older if he doesn't like it.
I wasn't trying to change him, just his name. His bio parents were more interested in doing drugs than raising him and I have raised him for 1.5 years since he was 2. He was named after both his grandfathers and I eliminated the middle name because that grandfather has never been involved in his grandson's life and he even lost 2 of his children to CPS and (eventually were adopted) before my son's biomom was even born. It's a new beginning and I think he deserves a new name. Just my opinion.
