With some of the friends that we made through the adoption process, there was also mentioned the idea of selecting a handfull of names and allowing the child (assuming they were old enough) to select their new name.
Never really convinced that was a great idea, once when I was visiting Haiti, I asked Wilton, “If you could change your name when you come home (although we love the name that your birth-mom and birth-dad gave you), what name would you choose?”
His answer . . .
“Umm . . . I think . . . Jackie Chan!?!”
