This is an interesting thread. My husband and I are in the final paperwork stages (our last batch goes out today) and we are hoping for a toddler boy 2-4, though we gave 0-4 as an age range. (Russia is our country)

We intend to give our son a name chosen just for him by his forever parents, though we continue to struggle with the identity issues associated with a child who has reached the age of cognizance. We feel, though, that his American name is equally a part of his heritage and it is good to hear most parents have had good response from their children with regard to adjustment.

Thanks for the input.
