Re: Baby Names Help
Ya'll can flame me if you want but I just wanted to bring up one point... she isn't asking for our personal opinions on whether or not it's right to change these children's names. All she's asking is for help with their names. k... flame away!

No flames from me, we are all entitled to our opinion and you have stated yours just as I stated mine. We can disagree and still be civil to each other. That goes for the entire site, not just this thread.
The OP had to know this question was going to come up when she posted. When you post something very personal on a message board, you make it public. Which is fine as long as you are prepared for the consequences of making your private life public. JMHO.
Some mornings it's not worth the effort of chewing through the restraints.

The new parents said that they wanted to erase any and every part of the life the girls had before they got them. Well that hurt because they do have a past life before them. I respect their wishes and I understand that they want to make things better for the girls. Its a long story and I guess this is just a touchy subject with me about the name changing.
I'm sure that you all have you're reasons and have a right to do what you feel is right with them. Congrats on giving them a loving home and having 3 more children to love.
I'm no good at names though. Sorry.
(((((mom2cvam))))) I don't think changing a child's name is going to take away the past. Nothing can do that. Everyone has a past and whether it's good or not I think it's something that you can't just forget because it's what makes you who you are today. A lot of bad things have happened in my past. I had a very mean step father growing up and now I have an inferiority complex because of the way he was. I would rather take the money that it's going to cost to legally change the kids names and do something special with them. By changing the kids names it's taking away the only identity they have ever had.

Re: Baby Names Help
I would love to congratulate you for what you are doing for these children and I am sure that really appreciate it. I am sure that you have reasons for wanting to change their names, which is really none of my business. I am adopted and have one name on my birth certificate and another name given to me by my parents. Your name does not designate who you are and I bet some kids would think it would be cool to pick there own name. Good luck to your family, it takes special people to do what you are doing.
PS, I love the names!!

There were some valid points made about the childrens future feelings. I can only say that we can't predict the future. We will try to give these children the best life we can. They will feel loved no matter what and know that they are an integral part of our family.
We have decided on Abbigail Alexis Renee, Morgan Aiden Hunter, and Logan Arlo Scott. Thanks for everyones help. You gave me some great ideas.
I'm sorry if I made it sound like I was flaming you because that wasn't my intentions. Its wonderful that you are able to give the children a better,loving life and if a name change will make them feel safer then that is what needs to be done. I wish you all nothing but the best.
(I love the names.)
