[quote=Anonymous]This is my neighbor’s daughter. We’ve known her and her family for 15 years, we’re very close. She’s 13. Her first name is let’s say, unusual. Last winter, she mentioned to me that she hates it. I can’t disagree, but I just told her breezily that it’s a nice name, but that she could always discuss with her parents. Fast forward to this summer, her mom mentioned that her daughter wants to go by her middle name because she’s embarrassed by her name. The mom, who I’d count as a friend, told me she kind of regrets her daughter’s name, and knew it was “weird” (her word) and that’s why they chose a more traditional middle name. In case the child ever wanted that. So now the mom is asking how weird it would be to change what people call her. Like how does she make this shift easier? I don’t know, and wondered what others have experienced. TIA![/quote]
