Default How would you feel if your kid changed their name?

If it was nothing deep to do with disassociating with the family and was purely a surface-level change, if they said they just hate the way their first and last name sounds and said it was making them miserable, would you be ok with that? And would you start using their new name?

I 100% would be fine with that. It's their name, not mine, and if it's making them miserable I'd never be entitled enough to prioritise my weird sentimentality over their happiness.

Some parents out there would want their kid to tolerate a name they hate purely because the parent likes their name and that is so selfish to me!
