I like to look at adoption websites (just for names and the stories) but I recently noticed some outrageous names and was wondering if you would change them or leave them. I included names and ages of some kids I encountered below you could change

McLie (DS 7)
McHazel (DD 6)
McSkull (DD 5)
McBrooklyn (DS 3)

La'Delsha (DD 8)
Laniah'ay (DD 7)
TeeRoy (DS 4)

Rizzley (DS 11)
Rippley (DD 11)
Reenda (DD 2)

Jezzera (DS 6)
Jazzera (DD 3)
Jozzera (DS 2)


Would you change them or leave them? How would you change them if you would?

Well, it depends. First of all, culture comes into account. If the name is part of the child's culture, I would probably not change it. For example, if I were to adopt an african-american child and they had an african name, I would not change it because I would not like to strip that child of their culture, no matter how weird it may sound.

 

Also age comes into account. If the child is already 5 and has been going by that name their entire life, I would not change their name and make that child go through that process. If they have a nickname they go by more often, I may change their full name to that, though.
