Can you explain what your issue with the name is?

Following as I feel the same way too although my little one is only few weeks old. I've been told this can be a sign of PND so I'm not doing anything about it yet in case these feelings go away x

OP - me too, I'm seriously considering it. It's not even an out there name it top 20 classic but I'm finding the a mouthful and don't like nicknames

I don’t think you can if your DH doesn’t agree... and at 7 months baby will be starting to learn their name. Is there a logical nickname that you like and could use instead?

If your husband doesn't want to, then you can't. End of.

How can your feelings about a name you chose 7 months ago have changed so much?

In my experience, emotions, mixed feelings, fear or guilt can be amplified after birth

what are your thoughts in regards to the name?

Can you explain more? How did you end up choosing the name?

Can you use a nn you prefer?

Why do no longer like it?

I do feel like it's a bit unreasonable to change a 7 months old name.
In what way are you suffering? How long have you regretted your name choice?
