Our oldest daughter was 34 months at adoption and our youngest was 4 years 4 months at adoption. After much thought, we did legally change both their names. Part of our oldest's Chinese name in English is slang for a male body part and the other part is slang for sex. Our youngest daughter's Chinese name can easily be misprounounced as a swear word. Now, they both have part of their Chinese names in their new names - the oldest's has a very popular first name but spelled differently to incorporate part of her Chinese name and our youngest has part of hers as her middle name. We also continue to use their Chinese nicknames as their nicknames now.
