Baby name remorse

I have name remorse for my 8 week old baby. Quite severely. Husband is being largely unsupportive. AIBU to expect that he would support my feelings and want to change it?

A name is just a name but unless you went for something weird then guess it could be changed?

Not remotely weird. A very normal name

Is he very attached to the name? As in it's a family name or has other positive associations for him? If not then he needs a bit of an attitude adjustment if it is severely affecting you - also second the question about PND.

This is quite common OP, sometimes in PND but sometimes just symbolic of the commitment.
Has anyone said anything to make you regret your choice?

Why don’t you like the name?
Could your feelings be linked to PND?

I don't know, I do wonder that TBH.
