Why not keep names? I was adopted into a white family and my family renamed me, as I was older I found out my birth family named me my name for very personal reasons that tied me into the family tree. Just because their names are not typical-blonde-hair-blue-eyed names doesn't mean they need a new name.They were named their names for a reason that ties them into their birth family tree, or atleast writes a huge part of their story. Why name them names that they will never be able to blend in with their birth country? If their names are truly to hard to say why not give them an easier to say name from their country? I know an Ethiopian girl with the name Ayana it meant beautiful and another name Beti. Hell I know an two Ethiopian men with the name Tesfa and Brook-both ethiopian easy to say names. <br /><br />Good luck with your children. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
