My 7 1/2yr old daughter wants to change the spelling of her first name.
and of course when we get full legal custody(in the middle of a court battle, we file for full custody next week.) we will change her last name too
(to ours of course).
She doesnt want anything that binds her to them, where she came from
and they kept telling her(we have 2 court ordered phone calls with her birthmom a week) That BM's Husband(of a yr and a half. has only been in her life 2.5yrs) is getting her name "Chloe" tattooed on him, this makes her extreemly uncomfortable and upset. she doesnt want "Her name" Tattooed on him, she doesnt want him to be her 'Daddy' doesnt want anything to do with them at all actually....
Hints why she wants her name changed to 'Kloe' it would still be pernounced the same way, and i wouldnt change her middle name. (Alexis) im very partial to that name anyhow. I told her i would not completely change her name or identity, i dont want her to be in any state of confussion or loss of identity.
But i dont want her to feel horrid because someone has "Her name" tattooed on him.
So is it wrong to change her name.?
If its what she wants,
and it will help her feel more comfortable in her own skin.?
The meaning of her name is still the same also. It means -BLOOMING- :)
I would love some feedback on this one from other moms. thank you.
