Since naming DS3 (9 mo) a great name, I've realised I'm bored with the other 2's names. They are 7 and 4, can I change them to
something more fun and interesting?

Can't you just swap your DC's with someone else's DC's who have names you really like?

Less hassle than filling in all the deed poll forms and passport forms etc

You can change names by deed poll (small fee) but will be a hassle to change bank accounts/doctors/school details.

Ask what they think (particularly older DC).. they might be really against it, or enjoy helping choose a new name.

Try adding an -ella or -ina or -stasia to the end of their names if they are girls. That'll spice them up a bit!
