Dd is not that far off turning 2 but I still worry that I got it wrong. Her name is Lila, pronounced Lyla. My main concerns are that the pronunciation is confusing and that it's too feminine.
I knew that pronounciation could be an issue before she was born but I just preferred to spell it the way we did. I didn't realise it would worry me so much.
A few months after dd was born I read that Taylor Swift's parents named her Taylor because it's unisex and wouldn't hold her back if she chose a corporate career. Then I read about a man with a feminine sounding name who got a lot more interviews once he changed the name on his cv to a more masculine sounding one. Ever since finding that out I feel like I've reduced dd's chance of getting a successful career. I can't stop worrying and it's too late to change.
