[quote=Anonymous]I know a couple of kids (mine included) who changed the name they go by when they started kindergarten. We have called my child by a nickname since before she was born (think: Jenny for Jennifer, although that's not it) and when she started kindergarten she told the teacher her name was "Jennifer" and all her friends call her "Jennifer" even though the family and friends she had prior to K call her "Jenny." She has a friend who used to go by his initials ("DJ") and a few months before kindergarten announced that he wanted to be "David" and even his parents and siblings call him "David" now. A classmate's older brother became "Samuel" instead of "Sam" when he started K. So she _might_ want to change/alter if asked. I wouldn't force it, but it seems to be, if not common, at least not atypical for kids to want a big kid name for big kid school.[/quote]
