is it ok to change a babys name after adoption?
the reason I ask is this name is very strange when people ask me his name they look at me like what where you thinking LOL.
our first foster child's name was Breonna and every one called her Breanna even her Mom when she was with her, now when we where headed to adoption with her at the age of 5 she was asked did she want to change her name to Breanna from Breonna she said I want to pick my own name out at first I was worried because her dolls name was Lou Lou but then one day she said I want my name to be Hope it was a name of a women on day of our lives she said she's pretty and I like her, so I said OK and from that day on she would not let us call her by her birth name again the therapist said it was OK so we agreed to go alone with it,
she is now 13 and I asked her yesterday if she was glad she changed it and she said ya none of my friend got to pick there names out I think its cool, plus I hate the name Breonna she also had 3 middle names that where very long what was her Mom thinking ??????she did not want to keep any of them but we did make her keep Breanna for a middle name this new child is one years old and the name is also Tattooed across her back in big cryptic letters is it OK to change his name when we adopt him or should we not put so much into a name? the name is DRAKE but im afraid they will call him DUCKY for a joke what do you think???
change it or keep it .
