[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would tell her, "When we adopt you, there is a very special thing that you can pick another name for yourself if you want." My friends did this with their adopted son (who was atleast 9 when he was adopted). He chose a nice, bland name for his first name that was the name of one of his friends from a prior foster home. He ended up being something like "David Jayson Anderson." I can't remember his previous name, but his new name was special to him. He chose Jayson because his adoptive father's name was Jay - and he was now Jay's son. [/quote] Picking a new name would be fine. Of course, I know many 4 year olds that might pick "Princess Sparkle." So OP might end up with something she hates even more. OP, I wouldn't worry about the name. You'll need to get over your dislike of it.[/quote]
