“I told them I didn’t want to change my name, and I always loved the way they talked about finding my name,” he explained.
“They said their feelings had changed, and they felt like the name being cute, light, and full of hope wasn’t great for going into my adult years. They said they deeply regretted it. I told them I was glad they made the choice they did, and they shouldn’t stress it.”
“But last week, they got the paperwork for a legal name change and presented me with like three name choices and asked me to pick. They said they really didn’t want to live with the guilt. I told them I’m not changing my name because of their name regret.”
“I told them how I feel about my name is more important now. They told me I should at least think of their feelings and that I should consider the future and whether I’ll be taken seriously.”
He’s left wondering if he should consider changing his name since his mom and dad are pushing him so hard.
