Say you give you kid a name, but they HATE it. Just hate it and have another one picked out

What do you do?

A. No assistance changing it - make them wait until they are 18 to change it. And then refuse to call them by thier new name

B. No assitance changing it but will call them by thier new name when they get it legally changed

C. help the child change it, if they are old enough to make the decision and understand the impact (ages 12-17)

D. Help the child change it, under age 12



Personally, if Cora complains about her name for a long time, and wants to change it to something reasonable, I would help her change it. So long as she understood the seriousness of it. And it wasn't a rash decision

I foresee this happening A LOT with our current generation...

I vote A.

No, I change my mind. I vote C.

C.

I agree....

I told my mom I hated my name... I have yet to change it. lol.

If Chelsea doesn't like her name, and is thinking rationally about it, as long as i felt she was old enough to make the decision(12-17), i'd help her change it.

I voted c lol

Undecided. Either B or C.

I was thinking the same thing

Is your name Yurvette, or is that just your screen name? There are some horrible, horrible names nowadays. Poor kids.

B. if they make the decision as an adult I will respect their adult decision and call them by whatever name they wish. I probably would be pretty hurt though.

I chose B like with a tattoo, a name change is permanent so i want them to have that time to truly decide if its something they want and can live with so they wont get any help from me until they are 18+. If they are still upset and hate their name I will be more than happy to help them research all the legalities and the process to do the change. I may even help pay for it. I will also use that name for them, given its not something completely ridiculous.

I'd change it if she hated it a lot and often spoke about how she hated it.

I don't care her age.

Thats just my SN. My name is Yvonne.

Quoting Yurvette [♥]:" Thats just my SN. My name is Yvonne. "

I like Yvonne.  

I'll say C. But, I'd be really sad because I love both their names!  

Quoting Squeaky McGee:" I like Yvonne.  "

  Thanks. Im eh about it. lol.
