DD is just over 6 weeks old. We were choosing between 2 names and went back and forth until we registered her, but a few weeks on from that and I'm still feeling undecided!
The problem I'm having is that the name we've chosen, although lovely, can be pronounced in 2 ways and it feels like everyone uses the pronunciation we don't. I'd rather not say the name but it's along the lines of Esme. Every conversation goes:
Oh what's her name?
Es-may
Es-mee, how nice...
Or Maya
Her name is My-ah Jones
Ok and when was May-ah born?
They are just examples but I feel like almost no one says her name the way I'd prefer. It's really, really getting to me and bringing me down.
I should add I'm suffering with PND so not sure if I'm making a mountain out of a molehill. I don't trust my own judgement anymore and feel exhausted and deflated by the whole thing. I've almost got to the stage I don't like the name anymore DH is mildly annoyed by it but not overly so, he's much more laid back than me anyway.
Anyway, would you think someone was an absolute idiot for changing a baby's name at 6 weeks or more? Will people get used to it?
I feel really embarrassed that I've totally messed up naming her. She's also been bought a few gifts with her name on them and if I was to change it I'd feel really bad about those.
