How long until you had a name?

Daughter is 2 weeks old 2moro and still doesn't have a name (I'm dad). We had some names on a shortlist before the birth, but none feel quite right . Not quite sure when a decision will be made.

I know we have 6 weeks by law, but I figured you were supposed to have a name even if it took a while to register.

Any one else taken a while to choose a name?

Cheers

I picked out dd's name aged 4. Always knew what my daughter would be called. Luckily, she suits it.

Was it TC who didn't know what to call her dd on the day of the 6 week deadline?

No, i knew what i wanted to call DD all the way though my pregnancy but when she arrived and after i had announced it to the delivery room i go though feelings of it 'not being quite right'. To be honest i worried for about a week that we'd called her the wrong name.

We didnt change it, i love it now and it really suits her. I know if have been gutted if we had changed it as was on my fantasy baby list from childhood.

I dont know if its normal to go though feelings like that really, it probably is though.

I have heard of babies being called 'boy' or 'girl' or just 'baby' for 6 weeks and the name being decided on the way to the registry office though so it's obviously not just you

Good luck and congratulations

DD was 4 days old when she finally had a name. Before that she was just "baby" "darlin" etc.
