... I wont say that my parents would't care, then, but I can say that if my kids decide to change their names when they're older I would not be offended. I would not feel like they were disrespecting me, and I definitely wouldn't think it was one of the most disrespectful things they could do! I can think of many, many worse.
It's possibly a culture thing, I don't know. But I wanted to say so, because you said so strongly you wouldn't believe it if he said his parents didn't care. Maybe his parents don't care. Because as a parent, I wouldn't.

I'm not a mother, but I can't imagine not caring at least a little bit if my kid wanted to change their name. I don't think I would "plotz and die", but I would be lying if I said it wouldn't bother me at all. Calling my kid by a completely different name all of a sudden would be weird.

I would plotz and die if my kids changed their names. And if my son ever changed his name, my husband would roll over in his grave.

Wow. This is so interesting to me! I'm glad you said something. It's not a thing I ever thought was might be different anywhere. Thanks (:
