I don't think I seen the post but wth?  How old is the child?

I saw that Carole, and thought it slightly freaky.

Hope that's an end to it for the little girl now!

she's 4

I remember your post before - how strange, I wonder why they didn't call her K in the first place?!

How odd. And unfair.

How very odd, hope the little girl isn't too confused by the whole situation.

Jessica is a beautiful name though. I don't really understand why she didnt call her Karen in the first place.

It wasn't a choice at the time of her birth. just a random conversation with her then 3 year old about other girls names.

This is absolutely bizarre!

Jessica is a lovely name. What a very odd thing to do. Your poor niece. What if her Mum changes her mind again?

Do you spend much time with her? Could you encourage her to call her Mother Burt instead?  (unhelpful I know but sheesh, what a thing to do to your poor kid!)

Have you asked her why Carole?
