Five-Year-Old Raises $150 To Convince Her Parents To Change Her Name

When we're young we are basically testing our parents to see how much we can get away with. How late can I push my bedtime? Will my parents actually check my homework every single day? If I just ask for a toy enough times will it appear out of nowhere?

Another common question is, "Can I change my name?" It's a phase that a lot of children go through as they struggle to find independence in their highly constrained world. But what if it's more than just a phase? A 5-year-old girl named 'Charlie,' showed a lot of determination when requesting to change her name to 'Charlotte.' Her mother, Bri, made a Tiktok about it, and it quickly went viral.

    Forehead - It's women's history month. What better way to celebrate than to share a story of how my daughter's gonna make history

    Bri runs her Tiktok account @Bri_mom3. As a way to celebrate women's history month, she posted two videos explaining her daughter's situation and the amount of effort she put into to prove she was serious about changing her name.

    Bri asks her Tiktok followers what they think about the situation, and whether they have any good advice on how she should proceed.

    Forehead - My little lady's named Charlie Paige. I love her name, we chose it, she looked like Charlie, she's is just my Charlie girl

    To Bri, this clearly isn't an easy decision. She explains that she and her husband love the name Charlie, but they love their daughter even more.

    The main idea here is, is it better to trust your 5-year-old daughter, and allow her to make the legal decision to change her name, or wait till she's older to return to the discussion.

    Forehead - She researched that to change her name you have to go to the court, pay ~$200 (in Indiana), it has to be published and both your parents have to agree
