Can you explain what your issue with the name is?

lululloveslemons · 02/10/2018 09:09

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?

Ellynewmum · 30/09/2018 21:52

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

what are your thoughts in regards to the name?

daisypond · 30/09/2018 20:47

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

Petalflowers · 30/09/2018 20:45

Can you use a nn you prefer?

Why do no longer like it?

oplum · 30/09/2018 20:44

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?

Aprilislonggone · 30/09/2018 20:44
