While I understand the concern, maybe this would be a good opportunity to educate the children, instead of perpetuating the "problem". Shouldn't the children learn that words may have different meanings, especially in different places and times? Do you change the name of every character called Dick, or add a footnote? Is the rest of the text free from outdated words (like the names of the different kinds of horse carriage), so that it is still appropriate (not from the moral point of view, but simply from the understandability point of view) for 7-year-old children?
