Weve really struggled to pick a name for our baby daughter, shes two weeks old now and we've told the family her name is Faye which I have loved. However, we were originally set on Alice and now I cant help but think of her as an Alice and love the niknames attached to it.
Her Dads not too happy with me and doesnt want to tell everyone that weve changed it especially after taking a week to pick to begin with, do you think its okay to change it after a week of being Faye and whats everyones thoughts on the names? Please be honest, I still like Faye just think I love Alice more.

Well I think Alice is lovely (Faye is pretty, always would have spelt it Fay though, but you could save that for your next daughter!).

it doesn't matter a bit that you've been calling her Faye, she's 14 days old, not a toddler. A friend changed her daughter's name after six months and she's never regretted it.

Go with what you love and call her Alice, it's an adorable name.
