Working in a NICU, we come across babies with horrible names on a daily basis, and if they are with us for a long period of time, we tend to unofficially rename them or at least give them nn's, so I know where you're coming from. For instance, Princess might become "Essie" or Miracle "Mira", etc. One Miracle we had became Sofia (deemed so by her primary nurse), unofficially at least, after she was with us for almost 66 months and before she went into foster care.
