[quote=Anonymous]I think you are discounting the future hassle this might cause too much. I can think of several forms where I was asked to indicate if I'd ever had a previous name. I don't have one because I didn't change my name when I got married, but if I had changed my name I would have to provide proof of my name change along with those forms. I read a lot about this recently with regard to voter registration and how it's a barrier to many people when they try to register at the DMV (proof has to be required, if you've lost your proof then you have to pay fees to a state court system to get new proof, and that's if you remember what court has the files). I wouldn't do this to my kid for the reasons you've said. Just because your middle name is super meaningful to you doesn't mean your kids middle name will be meaningful to him--and at this point where he's 7 and doesn't even seem to know the current one, I don't get how it's suddenly going to become important to him.[/quote]
