OKay, is it ok to change a babies name,under 2, if someone in your close family has the same name. We are trying to adopt a baby girl who has the same name as my sister and as one of my close friends. We were thinking of maybe changing one letter. It would still sound somewhat the same, just different. From Lisa to Lia,pronounced like Lea.Sounds the same just no "s".I figured maybe since she is a baby and odes not talk or anything it would not sound to different.
What do you think?
Please no hateful statements, saying I am taking her identity away. People who do international adoptions change toddlers names all the time to American names.
I am just asking if it is to much of change. We have not changed it yet. We just thought if it sounded the same it may not be to hard.Trying to cut a little confussion out ,if we can.We can leave it the same, but it would be a tad easier wth the change.
