[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would you feel if as a young adult your child insisted on using a nickname from childhood instead of their actual name that was carefully chosen to honor an ancestor and as a nod to their ethnic heritage? Would you bring it up to them and share that you would prefer they use the name you gave them, or just drop it and let them choose for themselves? [/quote] Not your choice. You gave them a name, but they get to decide what they get called. If you really feel that it is important to "honor an ancestor" and give a nod "to their ethnic heritage" then you should go and legally change your name to give honor to that ancestor. You can decide what you do with your name. You don't get to decide what your adult child uses as their name.[/quote]
