Baby names

[cazba1]

Hi. Sorry bizarre question !!! I had a baby boy over 4 weeks and we couldn't pick a name. I made a list and my hubby had one which I thought was hard to pronounce but with practice became second nature. I thought we would go with this and my hubby told this name to my wee girl which she told at school. We were under pressure to choose one and in end husband found one on my list we went with. I think I regret not going with his as had nice meaning and not letting myself warm to the name my wee boy has now. I think I was put about when I went into my wee girls school this week and they thought wee boy was called name wee girl gave them so had to say we were deciding on name. Everyone knows him now by a name do I need to just not be thinking too much. Anyone felt like this out there ... My girl liked this name in the end so thought it would be ok.... When will I feel this is his name and not be thinking about it and pondering all the time.... Think school episode didn't help... Any advice or Help!!!

What are you asking? :)

I'm struggling to follow, sorry. You named your boy (congrats, BTW) and you're not sure you like his name?

[MamaLazarou]

If he's only 4 wks old, you can still change it.

[cazba1]

Yeah not sure if like it but everyone knows him as it now.. My wee girl likes it .. I should get used to it through time

[Mopmay]

Change it now if you don't like the name - one DC at our school told everyone her sister was called Tig as she loved the program Woolly&Tig. All the other parents then called baby Tig. Her real name was Emily.
Weeks on we just laugh about it and it's forgotten

Everyone knows him as this name... Friends, family... Etc... We are on the last week to register him. In such a panic.. I don't know what to do...Anyone ever in this situation?. Feel overwhelmed...Feel awful

You can change it easily, you haven't even registered him.

Don't worry about what other people say it will be forgotten next week.

Congratulations!

I know but my kids know him as his name and they already had it changed as my hubby told him first one... Very confused, I would love to talk to someone about it but so embarrassed don't know who to talk to. .?This has taken over my mind??

Give him a middle name you like, and use that name or both names.

Eg George Edward...

Is there a nickname you like from the name you can use? Eg Georgie, Ged,

Is there a baby nickname you can use. Eg peanut, cutie etc



Congrats by the way.

My guess is OP you are feeling emotionally overwhelmed because you just had a beautiful baby and are still recovering and coming down off pregnancy hormones.

You still have plenty of time to change your son's name. Don't let the power of the crowd confuse you. Go with the name you and your DH like the most, your daughter will get over it and grow to love it if you decide on a different name.

Congratulations!!!!

We have the name so will it grow on it though time... Only I can answer that I suppose. My husband won't want to change it now I know him too well.... I keep hearing people say the baby name and stands out with me, surely this should come automatic.. What a mess I feel. Am I being hard on myself???thanks for all the help... These are irish name so double barrel wouldn't suit

[cazba1]

I have enjoyed the last number weeks because of this.. So bad

[cazba1]

Meant to say haven't enjoyed

[cazba1]

Keep suggestions coming thanks a million

[isntthatapippip]

Agree with heylilbunny re feeling overwhelmed etc.

please make sure your dc has the name you and your dh want, nothing anyone else says/thinks matters

You can change it if you want to

[cazba1]

My hubby happy enough with the name , so just me??
