I'm not sure what to do. I mean, I want to change Qiu's name because of it's difficult pronunciation in the United States, but you said to change it to a name starting with the same letter. However, let's say I called him Quentin. That doesn't sound a bit like "chew" and would confuse the poor child. So, would you mind if I called him...Charles or something instead? I mean, I could call him Quentin, but I thought I'd ask.

Q is a difficult letter to work with, sorry about that! I'll certainly let you use Charles or something sounding similar to Qiu. Also you can decide how old your ADS is so perhaps he is too young to be confused by a major name change. A Ch name or a name beginning with Q would be fine.
