    Reminds me of someone who suggested naming your daughter Mayonnaise. You’d call her May, and everyone would know her as that and not suspect it was a short form, but she’d go through life knowing she was named after a condiment.

    ‘On a more serious note yes, you messed up, but since you commented that daughter dislikes being called [Shaide] and wants to change names, I feel like if you help with the costs/bureaucracy she may forgive you more easily.’

    This is a fair comment, tbh.

    It would be highly inappropriate for a boy named Josh or a girl named Jessica to expect such a demand but, yeah, if you go out on a limb naming your kid and they’ve regretted it their whole life, it might be a nice gesture to smooth things over to pay the fees for delousing their name.
