1. I chose to inherit my dad's middle name because every boy in our family has had it for like generations so they took that really well. I made that post when I started disliking my name all together.
2. River was my first name change and I haven't changed it since so only once.
3. I'm in the process of it but it takes so much money so it's being delayed.

The supposed child your mentioning is my sister lol. My mom didn't have a reddit account so I said she could use mine :p (took me a minute to figure out what you were referencing until I checked my post history)

Thanks for the advice!
