What is in a Name??

We have been working feverishly to complete our paperwork and application to the court. Only one hitch.....we must have a name to submit. We all seem to be a crossroads about this. We do not really like the name of our older boy and would like to give him a new one. But.....how do you tell a child that is eight years old that he is getting a new name?? I told Wayne we should just pick a name we like and tell the boy that is the American translation of his old name.....HA!! Wayne did not think that was fair (or honest)!! Any suggestions from some of you?? I apologize again for not posting the info on the boys yet, but it is coming. I have just been having to work so much to make up for the time off when we were in Russia, plus I am trying to finish up the last of some classes I have been taking!! If all goes well, we will have all of our paperwork completed, notarized and apostilled by Friday!!! That is......IF all goes well, and that includes a trip to the doctor on Friday morning and then a 3 hour drive to St. Louis for apostilling at the Secretary of State's office! Can you tell I am a REALLY optimistic person?? Optimistic or Unrealistic?? HA!! Sometimes they are the same!!
