Scenario

When children reject the names you chose

My daughter wants to legally change her name to something that reflects her identity but the name we gave her honors my deceased mother.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Personal autonomy conflicts with the memorial function that names serve in maintaining family connection across generations.
