:-*okay here we go, ready? I an getting ready to begin the name change process. I have unofficially been using the names Noelle and Nicole. However, officially I have been thinking about honoring my daughter and going with Mercedes. I am also thinking about honoring the 17 year old transgender that was killed in northern California 3 or 4 years ago by using her first as my middle, Gwen, and her last as my last, Arroyo. I in no way went to disrespect her by using her name so am asking for opinions and/or comments
