Just wondering what people think - is it too late/too weird?!
I had a name picked out for a girl from the moment I found out I was pregnant - name A (not going to tell you the actual names involved as I don't want opinions on the names to colour responses to the question). Never found out the sex from the scans (at DH's insistence) and I was convinced I was having a boy. DH liked name B for a girl, and I thought it was ok, but didn't pursue name A as i was so sure I was having a boy, so cocentrated my energies on trying to persuade DH to go for my boys' name choice.
After the very difficult birth I was quite out of it, and keen to choose a name quickly because she was in intensive care and I was secretly frightened that I might not have another opportunity to name her, so went with name B. I've regretted it on and off ever since.
Name B is widely regarded as pretty, but I feel uncomfortable with it; the spelling doesn't reflect the pronounciation and it just feels a bit wrong, to the extent that I actually avoid calling DD by her name. That's got to be bad hasn't it?
I've been thinking of changing it, since the night before she was registered, especially as I really think she suits name A, but keep thinking t's too late and a bit odd. Also, some acquaintances (friends of friends with whom I keeo in touch on Facebook) have a little girl 3 months younger who has name A, so it sort of feels like it would be unoriginal in that sense (or is that VERY silly?)
Thoughts gratefully received!
