What are your thoughts on changing babies names after the initial obligatory annunciatory texts/emails/phone calls have gone out? And what about doing it twice?
My situ - DH and I could not agree on a name for DD. An hour after giving birth, DH told me I could choose and he was always going to let me choose. I kind of panicked and chose X. About two weeks later, I realised I didn't even like X, and we slowly told everyone we knew she was going to known by her middle name, Y. I eventually registered her with Y as her Christian name.
NOW, I'm not even sure I like Y. There is another name I really like, and wish I had gone for. DD is now almost 7 weeks old. Can I change it again? Legally, obviously, I can. But really is this going to seem ridiculous to everyone? I'd like to be someone who doesn't care what others think, but I'm wondering what I would think if a friend or acquaintance had a new name for her child each time I saw her. Your thoughts?
