[quote=Anonymous]OP, I’m sorry the mom guilt is so strong with this for you…but I promise your son is not going to feel more loved if you change his middle name. That name is his. You gave it to him, but it is the most basic, critical element of himself. To take him to court to change the name is essentially saying, “I don’t approve of you in your current state and I need to change you.” It’s not for him—you’ve said he doesn’t know/care about the name. It’s about you and your insecurities. And I guarantee you if you start creating mementos with first/middle names on them they are for you, not him. I’ve never met any adult who kept trinkets from the childhood around. When my mom and MIL tried to give us boxes of stuff, it went straight into the trash.[/quote]
