My baby is going to be one soon and I'm still not happy with her name! :( I know I sound crazy but just can't get over it. I worry her name will give other kids a reason to make fun of her or bully her and she'll hate it. The name was chosen as a compromise to please her older brother and dad but thinking back they would've got used to any name if I'd insisted. The whole family esp big bro and sis and her dad are used to it, is it really possible to change? any one been through this? please help with advice and please be kind as I feel so bad and guilty about it already :( Thank you

I know a 15 month old called Mina, I think it's a lovely name, very sweet ironically when I last saw her she only had two teeth, in fang position

Why are you worried she'll be teased?

I am worried she will be called "mean" nn :( Can't stop thinking about it, didn't cross my mind till too late. She was going to be Hana or Mina but her brother said he really didn't like Hana so I wanted to please him. We also had Yasmin and Amelie on the list till last minute. Wish I went with any of the others as they are more common and would've made her life easier I think.

I think it's pretty, but I guess you are worried about the Meena/Miner pronunciation issues?

I like Mina and don't think she will be teased. Why do you think it will cause problems?

What would you change it to if you could?

Can I ask the name?

If you want us to give a reasonable judgement answer you're going to have to tell us the name...
