Do you now regret it?

I'm just curious, but I'm wondering if anyone now regrets the name they gave their child. And if so why?

We had twins & I picked my favourite name for one of them, and in a weak moment let DH talk me into the other one. It's not horrendous, just not what I would've chosen. Motto: Don't make any hurried decisions about names, make sure you are happy with it and if necessary, INSIST on the one you want. However, if OH doesn't want it, then how do you compromise? Don't know!

DD1 is ten, her name isnt terrible but it is unusual (and a bit cutesey think on the lines of Honey or Treasure ect ect) and I don't think I'd pick it over again, I was a teenager when I had her and my tastes have changed since then. But she likes it, and does have a more grown up sounding middle name that I gave her incase she wants to change it when shes older.

I regret using all my favourite names up with DS1. Grin I then went onto name DS3, DS1's middle name. Then felt that was a bit odd so felt like I had to give DS1 another middle name, and to be fair I then had to give DS3 another middle name. And it cost me £70 to do it. Grin
