Beverly is such a cute name. 7 years is still young. She does not fully understand herself right now. I don’t think if you should give in to what she wants. It might be a mistake she is making. Then years later she also regrets that name. Will you give her the chance to change it again? You are the mother an have the right to chose. That means it is you to decide what her name will be. You should just stand firm that there is no name change. Or you can call her that name. Just to satisfy her ego. But do not let it be her baptismal name. I know she will later regret that. Maybe she wants that name just because she has a friend with that name at school. And she likes the girl. So she think having her name will make her like Mary. This is just a child mentality. That is why I am telling you not to give in into her tantrums. With time she will outgrow that and be satisfied with her current name.

I think your daughter is just going through the normal children’s tantrums. When your kid’s in the middle of a tantrum, it can be tough to keep yourself from having your own meltdown, too. Your preschooler can finally use words to tell you what she needs or wants, but that doesn’t mean her tantrums are over. She’s still learning how to handle her emotions, so a minor disagreement can quickly turn into a full-on fit. Because your child also values her growing independence, needing your help can be frustrating. She may lose it when she tries a challenging task. Their communication is limited, yet they have all these thoughts and wishes and needs to be met. So try to understand the reason why she wants that name and check if 20 years from now it will still be reasonable. If not, then do not use that name.
