With our boys we are just giving them a more formal first name for the birth certificate and will still call them by their names that were given at birth. Basically they were given what I consider to be nicknames so for their BC they will have a grown up name to fall back on. Their middle names were originally a formal given name so that will stay. And then they will take our last name. Our boys are older though, even though they are still too young to understand that they actually will have formal names.
I would have loved to have changed their names completely or even had them go by their middle names but for 2 years during the "foster period" we called them by their names and so it does make it difficult to change.
