I am planning to change the surname of my 5yo daughter. She currently has my maiden name but uses my married name so I am going to change it officially to my married name.
However whilst I am doing that via deedpoll (that is the only way to do it due to various circs) I am wondering wether to change her first name also.
Her name is Katie, when I named her I didn't realise that Katie is short for Catherine and ever since I found out I have regretted not giving her a 'proper' name. She would still use Katie as her daily name but would have the option of using Catherine when she was older.
so WIBU to change both her names while I am at it or should I leave Katie alone and just change her surname?
