Please, if you feel willing and able, come and share your thoughts on names.
Please, please be aware this will be a sensitive and emotive topic so please:
Only share what you feel comfortable and no real names or nick names at all, please.
We were told we should not change a child's name. But I know some people do, have done, will do. I know that it used to be common practice.
Does anyone use nicknames or pet names or change things round?
Have any people adopted as children experienced name change either by their choice or adopted parent choice and how does it feel.
How do birth and adoptive parents feel?
Sorry, I know it will be emotive so let's all be nice to each other! after all this my thread will probably be empty!
