As a child, I didn’t like my name. This is ordinary, nothing special. In primary school there were five of them. So I always came up with other names. In my teenage years, Niki was popular - I was delighted! Over the years, the nick has been transformed into a name, not exactly unusual, but quite rare. A year ago, he officially changed his name. So far I am glad that I don’t need to explain why I call myself so anymore, and in the documents, it’s different. All these problems with documents (I still don’t live in my homeland) were worth it.
And yes, I believe that the name should be given to the child what he likes himself, and not from some considerations / advice of relatives. He lives with it, fucking.
