With our older adopted child, we kept the first name that her First mother gave her. Now with our younger child, we have changed her first name and made her Ethiopian 1st name her middle. Our concern is that, we know she will be different with being adopted and having a white family. Her Ethiopian name is very long and very difficult to say. We know how mean kids are and wanted to give her a more American name so that there was one less thing that would make her different. Are we wrong? We truly want what's best for her.
