Last summer DD5 changed her name. We thought it was cute at first, but after several months she would not allow us or anyone to call her by her given name.. She introduced herself by her chosen name very matter of fact. For a while we tried to talk her out of it, I realized she was serious and I really like the name we gave her.
Finally I told her: "Well, we gave you your name when you were born and you couldn't speak for yourself then. If you really want to change your name I guess it is okay."
She replied: "Mom, I tried to tell you that my name is .....when I was a baby, but you didn't understand what I was saying"
Really?, or is she just being cute and creative? Who knows-*shrug*
