Having a wobble on his name!

We registered our son yesterday. My partners favourite name was Elliot, but we agreed on Arthur. I then had a last minute change of mind and we went for Samuel, and now I’m not sure I made the right decision. I’m wondering if I should have stuck to Arthur, or even Elliot... I’m worried Samuel/Sam is too plain. We can change it if we want but I worry if we change it I will still feel unsure. Can anyone maybe put me OFF the names Elliot and Arthur? Or should I change his name? I’m kicking myself for rushing into registering him but I just can’t decide what name to choose.

Agree! Go with your gut. Who (which name) do you see this little person as? I hesitated over names for ages because it felt like such a big commitment! I actually like Sam best from those 3, but if you are having doubts I would change it.

If your having doubts it's not the right name then, it's not the right name.
Sam is nice though and I prefer it over Arthur (too old man sounding) and Elliot sounds a bit wet to me.
