Her name is Greta Ivy Clementine
I want to change it to Flora Greta Clementine

She's 4 months old.
Flora was the name we had originally settled on but I changed my mind once she was born.

DD1 has a name I've never truly loved and I think I've made the same mistake again.

I'm not sure what to do Sad

WHAT?

I remember all those long threads, the name Rufus now reminds me of you OP! I'm sad that after all the blood, sweat and tears you out into it you now feel as though you've made the wrong decision.

I still love Greta but if you and your partner want to change it well then do it. Four months is nothing. Your baby will certainly be none the wiser.

I like Flora

But i love Greta.

If you're the poster I'm thinking of - is flora an anagram of your son's name?

I just changed my baby's name a fortnight ago when she was just turned 4 months. I put the new name in front of her original name and middle name. It's been a bit of an emotional roller coaster but most people have been very supportive and I'm so happy she's now got the name she should have had all along. So I advise to change it! X

DP says he's always liked Flora,and so is happy to change it Grin

But he prefers Ivy to clementine,so Flora Ivy Greta or Flora Greta Ivy?

Change it, if you are quite sure.

4 months is nothing in a lifetime
