Thread: Changing names?
I think 11 is old enough to have a say. Sometimes kids, for very good reason, want a completely fresh start and a name change is a big part of that.
Sometimes they just hate the name they were given. If I had had the opportunity to change my name at 11, I would have. ;)
Why not have her write a paragraph or two about why she wants to change it? That may give you some insights and it's something you could keep to give her later in life -- in case she needs a reminder as to why her name was changed.
