I’d change the child’s name by deed-poll.
exactly – take the hint, you got you’re own child’s name wrong your cousin is gently trying to encourage you to put things right before its too late
A friend of mine started a new job with a council. On her first day she was handed her I.D. badge, business cards, email address etc all with a different name on. Not a bit different, a lot different – Claire instead of Marie. They’d even sent out press releases with this new name on and she was in a front line role so it was in the local papers too. So….. she’s Claire now, even after 10 years or so, several changes of job, and a change of continent, she’s still Claire.
my Dad always calls me my brothers name.
My mum does that, or sometimes its the dogs name, or sometimes its the name a previous long-dead old dog, sometimes all three in rapid fire reverse order til she finally gets to my name on the forth attempt
