I am having this real problem about my baby's name. We chose the name Orla but then when she was 6 months i suddenly thought I preferred Poppy. We always liked Poppy but someone else we knew called there baby Poppy when we were both pregnant.
I also have a 3 and 5 year old, would they find it hard/weird to call her something else?she is now 8 months old

Orla is a really beautiful name.

I think it would probably be a bit confusing for your other DC.

Yes but it niggles me everyday,so much so I now suffer with anxiety and PND and am on medication!!my husband isn't keen on this but would consider it as he loves me!

Oh she's 8 months old
No you definitely can't change it. IMO.

What's her middle name?

Can you call her that?

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 10/01/2016 21:28

I think they probably would yes and not only that but at 6 months Orla will know her name. What happens if 6 months down the line you go off Poppy.
