When someone I know changed her name, her parents decided that they would use a new name but it wouldn’t be the one that she wanted, it would be similar. So my friend called their mum Carol, instead of Caroline, and the problem quickly solved itself.

In some families, this would lead to a cold war where they just keep using the wrong names for each other until death.
Future generations grow up thinking those are their actual names because it’s what they’ve always called each other.
