I apologize. I am happy for your best friend. Names really shouldn't matter as much as they do, but people react very immaturely. I guess my reaction was no better. Again, I'm happy for anybody who's so proud of their family or themselves that they don't change their names despite the reactions. It shows a healthy amount of dignity. But I don't think they're wimps if they change it.

And sometimes people will be nice and you'll never consider changing it. The world is becoming more open, as you said.
