The steps of raising a child to do something responsibly
- No you don't have the tools necessary
- Modeling and building the tool set
- Supervised activity (you get to do it but i observe and we discuss your goals and how well you're moving towards them) and i step in when i need to protect you
- Okay I'm here if you need me

You are free to raise your children how you see best. I will raise mine as i see best.
However when i handed her the phone, i was clear: this is my phone which i am letting her use to make my life easier, as a reward she also gets to use it for her own life, but it's mine and i will be monitoring her activity

Privacy with electronics is a privilege not a right for children and it should not be the default. It is the responsibility of a parent to occasionally monitor their child's activity for unsafe conduct.
The renaming bit... The funniness will vary from person to person.

The foundation of trust that she will act safely and responsibly comes from first observing her acting safely and responsibly in a controlled setting
