mess I'm sorry I'm imagining Sandra holding India's hand in line at the office while India waits in preparation to hear what her mum's called her, and when she says 'India' she asks why, and that entire conversation comes up
The name change is on the person's own accord, regardless of age. My friend has his name changed to the name he preferred (he's trans and had his name changed when he was 15, I think it was legally but I don't know?) and my friend's brother also changed his name, and he's 13 and trans... ironically they both chase the same name
