Baby name obsession

I really don’t seem to be able to get past the fact that I chose the wrong name for my daughter. She is daisy but I really feel her name should have been Mae. I wanted to change it when she was 6 weeks old but my husband didn’t agree and didnt want to confuse her siblings etc so we left it. She’s 10 months now and I can’t forget it. It feels like a big mistake. She’s also my last baby! Not sure what reassurance I’m looking for really just wanted to put it down somewhere!

Daisy is much nicer imo - and more unusual. Mae/May is everywhere, usually as a middle name it's true, but still.

The spelling 'Mae' is not great either, a bit tacky.

But Daisy is really sweet, honestly I'd stick to that.

I agree with you.
i far prefer Daisy to Mae.
Daisy Mae makes me think of Molly Mae.
