This is definitely a complex topic. Our older girls wanted to change their names and we worked with them to decide on the best option, but in the end it was their final decision. Our oldest kept her first name and hyphenated our last name with hers. But, as a few years have gone by she's changed her mind and will be dropping her original last name and going by a new middle name that she asked us to pick for her. Our newest girl was going by her middle name when we met her. When we finalize next week, she is going to move her middle name to her first name, add a new middle name we picked, and use our last name.
