Well we named our daughter Giuliana, but now I’m having name regret and don’t know how to shake it. Did I make a huge mistake?
is it hard to pronounce when first looking at it? Does it look weird? Maybe I should change it?

what do you think of this name?

First glance I thought you were just trying to be inventive with spelling Juliana.

Nothing wrong with it, but people will probably assume its Juliana and she will spend a lot of time trying to spell it and people telling her they know how to spell juliana 😂

It's Italian. Not wrong.

It's a nice name, but change it if you're not happy - don't force yourself to live with it.

I would assume there’s an Italian connection.

I had to Google how to pronounce it. It's a lovely name.

It's cute.

How old is she? How are you? Name regret can be linked to PND, or just caused by the shock of such a big life change.

Do you have a clear idea of what you should have called her? Do you think this is just your brain struggling with the enormity of giving someone a name? It's a pretty big deal.

I wouldn't change it unless you're absolutely sure that you got it wrong.

I think it's really beautiful, and Gia is a lovely nickname too.
