Baby name regret

[CMP20]

My baby girl was born in April. I really struggled to think of a girls name and the name we had settled on didn’t suit her so we went with another name on the list. I had two family members criticise the name choice and have since had another say she hoped we would call her something else. This has really upset me and put me off the name. Now I feel I have fallen out of love with it a bit and regret the choice. I have become a bit obsessional thinking about it and the fact the chance to name her has now passed. Any advise is very welcome. Thank you.

Can you tell us the name?

Thanks for all of the lovely replies. One family member asked if it was my final choice and gave their own suggestions. This is a member of my family not my husbands too. That has really haunted me and I can’t shake it off now. I think also because I wish I’d said something back at the time. I had considered an additional middle so think I might do this just for more options.

I’d prefer not to post the name on here but it is within the U.K. top 20 so nothing really out there but not super common either.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate your support and believe it’s a more other people’s comment thing than anything else. I need to learn for things like that not to bother me I think!

Oh and it’s not Chlamydia 😃

I think because it’s a more old fashioned name and not one that has a lot of variations.

They have no say - and with a UK top twenty name it won’t even be odd or unusual.

Either smile sweetly and change the subject or say “I hate your name auntie Mildred but I wouldn’t be so rude as to say so”.
