[quote=Anonymous]My 13 yo child came out as non-binary, and picked a name this past January (2024).  I really hated the name because it was the name of a girl who bullied me in highschool, it sounded very similar to one of their sibling’s names, and had a very preteen vibe to it (very hippyish and not very adult sounding).  Ironically, we have since found out that a person with their new name (new first name + existing last name) is on the tsa no fly list and has been convicted of multiple felonies, so I have convinced them to pick a new name.

Would it be out of the question for me to ask for input into the new name?  I’d really like them to pick something that is derived from their birth name so if they are in a situation where they don’t want to come out  as trans then they don’t have to.  They wont change their name legally until they are legal adults.  I was going to suggest that they pick something derived from either their existing first or middle name, and then change it after highschool if they don’t like it.

We have been really supportive of everything for my child, so I really don’t feel like this is too much to ask.  [/quote]
