I think I want to change my baby's name! I spent a lot of time of this board when pregnant and put a lot of thought into my baby's name and whenever I came across the 'help I don't like my baby's name' threads I just thought how could that happen? You have enough time to think about it and why would you go for a name you don't like? Well, I apologise!
I had two final name choices and let my DH choose between the two. He chose the name which has actually been proabably my favourite girls name since I was about 14. Two months down the line we just don't feel like it suits her. It doesn't help that it is VERY popular. We did actually consider the fact that it is popular and we both have common names for our time and didn't think it was so bad, but this seems far more common than we anticipated. We cannot go to any play area without hearing the name. We took DD1 to soft play last week, there were less than 10 toddlers there and 3 had variations of our DD2's name!
So what do people think on this issue, are we over reacting on the popularity front? Does it matter if a 2 month old suits her name as surely she will grow in to it? And I'm interested to know if people will guess the name (which is why I haven't mentioned it) I think you will (but don't worry I will be back to disclose it!)
Sorry about the long post! Never thought I'd be in this situation!
