I didn’t want any name we chose for our kids to be stolen. Yes, “stolen” is a drastic word choice—and it is quite fitting. Anyone who has had a name they’ve claimed taken from them by a family member, friend, neighbor, or co-worker and used for a child knows what I’m talking about. It’s not cool, and it happens all too often.
