Help[Opinions] Re: Havyn
in reply to a message by Geri
It just because so many trendy names have the -on - an or -en at the end of the name turned to -yn, just to spice up a name (regardless of the inconvenience it is to have a name you need to constantly spell out). I think that's where these reactions came from :)
If you like Haven, then maybe just use Haven? I doubt she'll have anyone in the class with the same name as it was on place #433 back in 2012. And of course you've got the luxery of asking her for her opinion. Maybe she likes Haven/Havyn, maybe she doesn't. I think it'd personally try to find a name that isn't too far off of her birth name if I had to rename a 6 year old.
Good luck to you with the adoption and the decisions regarding her name.

Thank you Mar. We actually wouldn't rename her in the first place, except she is from another country and doesn't speak English. We give our adopted kids an American name and keep their given name as their middle name. We continue calling them by their given names when we are in private. Our adopted kids have preferred their American names but could never have given their input or consent when they didn't understand the language, haha :)
