We changed our 7 month-old's name with the blessing of his bp's. We chose a name that meant "son of D***"
which is birthfather's name. I think this is one of those areas where every situation will be different and you have to do what is best in your own case. If there isn't a safety issue and you have a close relationship with the bp's I think it's perfectly appropriate to consult the bp's and choose a name everyone agrees on. If our son's bp's had strongly opposed us changing his name we would not have, but they said they actually liked his new name better and they were referring to him by it sooner than we were!
