[quote=Anonymous]OP, I definitely think the name should be changed. It's not even a "pretty" stripper name like some of the ones mentioned earlier in the thread, like Misti Rain or Bambi Rose. "Champagne" doesn't have a particularly nice sound and has the negative of being an alcoholic beverage. "Glitz" to me has a harsh and unappealing sound. Sorry, not trying to disparage the name but just wanting to be supportive of any decision to make a change.

Is there a book C.G. likes that has a character with a nice name? I remember that my mom and I always loved the Anne of Green Gables books, and the main character, Anne Shirley, was adopted. I could see choosing to be named Anne after reading these books. Probably the Anne books are for older kids and a 4-year-old would not relate, but if there is a similar nice story that could be a touchstone in your family, it would be nice to take a character's name from the book. A heroine with some admirable characteristics, maybe a survivor, someone starting a new life, or even a princess like Anna or Elsa from Frozen or another movie. Elsa who never knew the greatness that she was capable of, until she had the courage to be herself. [/quote]
