[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should change his name OP—except I think you should delete the middle name altogether. It’s too late to add a new one in any meaningful way. You say your son doesn’t even know his middle name? Then change his name to Larlo LastName. That solves the problem of having a name you hate  following your child for the rest of his life. [/quote]

OP here and I appreciate this suggestion. I was expecting some naysayers (that's why I posted, because I wanted to hear argument against since I know I will hear them if I do it) but have been a bit surprised at how strongly some people feel. I'm definitely not trying to take something away from my son or force some issue on him. If anything, I was thinking that doing this would resolve this issue so it doesn't come up again later in life. But your suggestions is a good one as well. Maybe instead of fixing my mistake I can just kind of excise it.[/quote]

OP, what is this terrible name you are so bent on excising? Is it objectively terrible, like Adolph? Or is the name fine but you don't like what it represents to you (caving in to your mother)?
