[quote=Anonymous]I’m usually big on giving kids as much agency as you can, but I don’t see what the big deal is here— go ahead and change it, especially silly since he doesn’t even know what it is yet. The PP’s saying that the name is out of OP’s hands once she put it in the birth certificate— what would you do if your 7 yo child came to you and said “I don’t like my name, I want to change it. Instead of Jack, I want everyone to call me Howard.” How would you handle that? Would you file name change paperwork in his behalf? I’m guessing no. You would explain that while he is welcome to change his name when he’s older, at 7 he’s not yet ready to make that choice. Which means that his name actually isn’t fully “his” yet. OP still has time (though the window is closing, IMO).[/quote]
