Fri, 29 Sep 2006 13:35:00 +0000 http://www.steppingonlegos.com/2006/09/28/all-the-fingers-on-one-hand/#comment-375 I really worried about the name change thing when we adopted our first son, but when he came home from Korea (9mo) he was so overwhelemed he didn't respond to his Korean name anyway (a Korean neighbor had taught us how to pronounce it correctly, so that wasn't the issue). After a few days I just stopped trying and we used only his American name, and a week or so after that he started to respond to that name. But I totally understand how you feel -- I felt like I was robbing him of something and at the same time I felt the need to protect him from potentially hurtful mispronunciations.

I know this day has to be hard for you Nicki, I hope you get word of travel very soon. I stress about the name change thing all the time - I mean Zeeb is 3 years old for heaven's sake, talk about knowing his name! But his VN name has a bad meaning if you pronounce it wrong and I really want to give him a name. So we'll call him both and let him choose or just let him have a double name forever!
