His right or what?

[Classik]

If it is your duty as a parent to provide for your child, and you are compelled by law (whether human's or God's) to do this, but the child feels like having a new name (firstname) for whatever reason he has, is it his right to have his name changed and bidding eternal farewell to that lovely name you gave him or her when he or she was a baby? Are you justified to disapprove of it?

And how would you feel whenever your child, whether small or grown, changes name?

Splendid reply. Perfect

I was named William at birth. For some reason from an very early age I asked everyone to call me Bill. No idea why but I hated my name. Whenever I hear God speaking to me it's always "Bill"

Interestingly enough God changed the birth name of some people in the bible. Sorry if that's off track.

If they want to change it there must be a reason. Working in an environment where I see thousands of names cross my desk every day I'm not surprised some people haven't changed their first name.

To be honest to me it wouldn't be a problem if one of mine wanted to change their first name or be know by another. I'd be more upset if they wanted to change their surname. But that's me.
