Interesting concept, one I’ve never really considered until reading “Looking for Alaska,” by John Green (amazing book too!)
Alaska the main character names herself at seven years of age after her parents disagreed on what to call her- up until that point she had been known as “Mary”. How she chose her name was fascinating she chose the biggest country that was the furtherst away from her. (All fictional of course!).
What do you think? Do you think you would be able to allow your child the responsibility of naming themselves?
Perhaps you let your older child name their sibling?
Would love to hear any experiences 🙂 especially if you got to name yourself!
