[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would be better for the child, should the adoptive parents keep his name Huxley or offer him a new name to protect his privacy / identity? He is all over the internet, people where he lives now will see an Asian nonverbal child with the name Huxley and know immediately who he is... I know he is not a dog to be named whatever but I do wonder what is in his long term interest. Anyone have ideas about that? [/quote]

The name is the least of the issues.  Most families who adopt change their kids names.  I only know of a few families who either kept the first/middle name given or did a joint name with the birth parents if that was an option, which is what we did.[/quote]

He was a beautiful Chinese name. I don't recall it, but why now use that name?[/quote]

Why not?  It reflects his culture, heritage and if his birth mom gave it to him, its the only thing left he has.  My child has a name from their culture.  Why wouldn't you?[/quote]

We're saying the same thing I just have too many typos. Yes, use his given Chinese name, not Huxley. [/quote]

Its up to the new family.  The Chinese name may be complicated and confusing.  Huxley doesn't make sense but its his name now and given he isn't very verbal it wouldn't make sense to change it now.[/quote]
