Would you go and get sulky..?

or upset if your child (who you adopted) wanted to change their last given name back to their original name?

i want to metamorphose my last name from barclay to fernando, my mum said yes & she will look into it, though i think it upsets her and my dad.. my biological dad (who i still yak to and see) says its up to you in the end.. but i don't want to upset my parents.
it wouldnt offend me.. Just my point of picture though.. It really should be up to child.. But if it bothers you that much then i think I would allow you to change it..
It IS up to you. Its not like changing your name is going to mingy you dont love your a mom and dad any less. Maybe you could change it and include both names, conceivably hyphenating it? Its up to you.

I have often thought of changing my mark back to my first name. At my age, though, it would be way more trouble than it's worth. Im a business woman near an established career, so it would be too confusing for my clients.

I did, however, get a small tattoo with my innovative name initials. Its very significant to me, as even though I am 43 years old and surrounded by reunion, the government will not allow me to have my original birth authorization. Source(s): my life
In the end it is your finding, and something you'll live with for the rest of your life, or until you get married if you establish to change your name then. I would visualize it would upset your mom and dad, I don't think I would change it, but that's just me. You own to follow your heart...
If you were adopted you stay with christen they gave you. I wouldn't like to upset my adopted mother/father for zilch. They were the one who took care of you. They probably say yes because they don't want to upset you, but if I adopt a child and own my name, I would get upset if he/she want to changed. That me,
Answers:    my daughter would hold loved to have the name she was given originally, but it's because it's one of those name you can have a lot of fun with. It won't do her any pious now she's married, but she has also said she wouldn't because of her parents. She has never asked them but newly feels it would be disrespectful to them.

If your parents are okay with it and you want to do it, I say walk for it.
If you don't want to change it now, you could wait until you're an full-size. I changed my surname BACK to my original name at 24. I had feel like I was wearing the wrong clothes all my natural life.

Changing it back was the best GIFT I ever gave myself! Do what feel right for you--everyone will get used to it.

Good luck.
I'm really sorry to hear that, Cantstop...I still can't believe that an adult adoptee in the states can't access their own documents...Blows my mind...But I digress.

I really feel like my name is my autograph, since it's the identity I grew up with. But, I can see my family being pretty cool roughly it, if I hadn't already changed it in marriage. And the first and middle names given to me be given by my a parents, so I haven't had another name.

Although, I adopted my daughter when she be three and people actually asked me if I was going to relocate her first name!

...Duh! She's not a puppy! She knows her name!

Gah. Stupidity abound.
As an option maybe you could hyphenate your last given name.
Barclay - Fernando
Fernando - Barclay.
Just a suggestion, that way it honors both of your families.
Ummmm yeah I am sure it is painful to them. As far as they are concerned you are their child and a name is a symbol of you belonging to their family circle.
Yes, it would hurt. You should hold the name of the one who cared for you unconditional, and gave you the most love.
