We registered DS3 a week ago today, after 3 weeks (!) of indecision. We couldn't agree on a name (I wanted Felix, DP wanted Stanley or George) so in a moment of panic at the registrar's office we opted for Harvey, which we both kind of liked, but only in a lukewarm sort of way, if you know what I mean - it wasn't a top contender for either of us.
One week on and the name doesn't seem to be sticking for me, it is not coming naturally, and jars a bit every time I think of it or say it (have discovered it has strong 'chav' associations that I wasn't aware of, but it's not just that, I don't know any more if I like it myself). Am wondering if we have made a mistake - can I change it? If so, what's the process? Am in Scotland, if that makes a difference.
Do I take action, or give self strong slap and thank the lord for a lovely healthy baby, whatever he is called?!
