I changed a 3 year old's name without any problems at all. She knew it within a day. She came from an abusive home. One day when she wouldn't come out of the aviary (they're allowed in there with me, but have to leave when I do) I called her by her old name thinking she would respond better. It definitely got her attention, she started crying and crawled to the door with her belly on the ground! It was so sad. So that name will never be used in this house again. |
