[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Change the name legally if it is so bad that DH's boss actually made that comment. Not fair to leave her stranded with a name that elicits that reaction. Give her a nickname derivative of her birth name and segueway to that in terms of usage.[/b] and FWIW, I adopted older children in intl adoption and did NOT change their names. In my case, the kids decided ---with absolutely no prompting from us--to "Americanize" their names on their own ---it actually took me some time to get used to calling them by the name they wanted. So I am all about leaving the name alone but the reaction from DH's boss convinced me otherwise in your case. [/quote] Agree. [/quote]
