'I want to change my four-year-old's name - she's starting school in September'

The mum said: "Every time I hear my real name I shudder."One woman said: "Are you crazy! She's four! You can't change her name. Your DD won't mind being one of three. She is her name now, it belongs to her."

Another person added: "Tough one but stick it out, you picked her name because you loved it, just remember that." A third added: "Don’t be ridiculous you can’t change a four-year-old’s name! How on earth would you explain that to her? "What happens if you change it and then next year there’s a new girl with the same name? Or several girls with the same name in high school?"But one woman thought she COULD change her daughter's name - and admitted her son was in the process of switching his for the same reason."Lots of people change, not to something completely different, but definitely a change!! I know lots of children who go by their second name at school or use a shortened version.
