AJ McLean’s 9-year-old daughter has changed her name from Ava to Elliott, but the choice was \u201cnot a gender thing,\u201d according to the Backstreet Boys member’s wife.<\/p>\n
Rochelle McLean explained via her Instagram Stories Wednesday that \u201c’Ava’ has changed her name quite a few times since she was about five.\u201d<\/p>\n
The makeup artist and hairstylist continued, \u201cLast year she asked us to start calling her Elliott and it stuck. She she wanted something unique that no one else had. (There are so many Ava’s).\u201d<\/p>\n
Rochelle, who is also the mother of 5-year-old daughter Lyric, noted that she does not \u201creally see the harm in respecting\u201d her eldest child’s \u201cdesire to be unique.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added, \u201cCome to think of it, it’s a little odd that as parents we choose names for people we haven’t even met yet and expect them to forever [identify] as that person!\u201d<\/p>\n
