A mum has said that as her son has got older, he's decided he doesn't like his unique name, which unfortunately shares its name with a ubiquitous item of furniture
A mother has ignited a controversial discussion after sharing that she's contemplating letting her son to change his name for his seventh birthday.
"His name is the name of a piece of furniture. For the sake of the question, I will use the first name Table. We actually decided to keep his entire name but we just rearranged things to include our surnames. His full name was Table Michael Harrison. She added: "He decided to use Harrison from that point forward. It took a little while to get everyone on board, but he was in first grade this year and everyone now calls him Harrison. He gets upset any time he sees his actual first name written down on forms."
The mum, seeking advice, added: "His seventh birthday is coming up and he asked if we could change his name to Harrison for his birthday present. We told him that we would think about it. Of course, that won't be his only present but it struck me as pretty serious that it was his birthday request.
