I love that you are trying to be supportive of your kid in their name choice. When I was in 4th grade, I wanted so badly to be Kelly Kapowski from Saved by the Bell, and I was tired of people struggling with my name (and mocking my last name, which was Stonerock....lots of Flintstones jokes made at my expense), so I started signing my assignments with the name Kelly. My math teacher (which was at a private school) decided to keep me from getting the grades I earned because "there's no Kelly in this class" and without my name on a paper (in a class of 8, mind you. Process of elimination should have been pretty simple), I got a zero. When my parents heard about it, I got into so much trouble for trying to change my name because they had put time and effort into my name. I remember being so angry and feeling like they didn't care about my feelings or opinions, nor were they interested in listening to anything I had to say.  All that to say, it actually helps
