This probably sounds a bit confusing (that's because it is!) but I want advice. Our DD was going to be called a particular, very elegant name that DH and I had both agreed on. But, on the second day of her life, I decided she looked like another (very cutesy) name. DH loved it too. We announced the cutesy one. A week or so in, I started worrying that the cutesy name wasn't strong enough to carry her through her life. So DH agreed to put the original name we'd come up with on the birth cert - for when she was older - but as the cutesy name had sort of stuck, we carried on calling her it. However, blame hormones or sleep deprivation but I now want to call her the longer, elegant name because I think it's more fitting and, if I'm honest, the nicknamey name is just that - nicknamey. But she's nearly six months old now. Will people think we're utterly crazy if we start calling her by the long version? Some people know it's on the birth cert. Others only know her by her nickname. As I said, a tangled web! The whole thing is stressing me out. Often, I'll be cuddling DD or playing with her but instead of enjoying my time with her, I'll be obsessing about her name. I blame myself for the whole tangled web and worry about what people will think. DH isn't too concerned - he just wants me to stop fretting.
