Names often play a big role in shaping a persons identity.
Thats what one woman felt because herparentshad stuck her with an old-fashioned name.
Parents might also come to this realization after years of observing how their childrens names are used.
Ethel definitely seemed to struggle with her name and even got bullied for it.

This isnt a unique case because its estimated that nearly 12% of peopledislike their name.
ShebulliedWren and treated her very badly, all because she felt envious of her siblings name.
All of this left their relationship extremely strained.
They should also emphasize how much they love the childs moniker and why it is so special to them.
This will help combat some of the possible negative feelings they might have towards their name.
In Ethels situation, the bullying must have been the main cause of her feeling so angry.
Sophie gave us a bit of naming advice that parents could follow if they planned on having multiple children.
A few questions parents could ask include: Do we want our childrens names to feel cohesive?
If we choose this name, does it rule out any other names on our list?
Adults can opt for aname changewhenever they wish to, but children need their parents consent to do so.
Do you think Wren handled this situation correctly?
Would you have done anything differently?
Wed love to hear your thoughts.
