I personally don't think it's a bad idea to change a name at that age. Perhaps you will find different cute nicknames to call her and that's not detremental to her and she still responds I'm sure. I like the middle name idea as stated in the previous post. We, however felt we needed to change the entire identity of our son to protect him when he was about 14 mo. old. He was fine with it. We mostly call our son "Buddy" so it was a good transition name too. He will know what his birth name was. I think when you adopt from the system, you need to think about if there is a need to protect your child's identity. I would also recommend changing her social security number after finilization.
