... We have just had a baby, 2 weeks ago, MIL immediately tattooed baby boys name on her arm.
However, we have since had a change of heart re the name... What a nightmare!
We didnt ask her to, or knew she was doing it, it's obviously really sweet of her to do it so that's not the problem it's more just now we dont want to call him that.
I feel awful! How on earth do we handle this? I'm really trying to talk myself into keeping the name, but it doesnt sit right...

Hahaha it is slightly funny, but i also just feel so bad for her.
The name absolutely doesn't work especially as my dd pointed out it sounds like a certain body part that is less than ideal.
Even as a middle name isnt really an option but we would keep it for her i guess, just not as a first name.

That's so funny!
Can I be there when you tell her you're changing his name? I'll bring some nice biscuits.

No way would I keep a name I didn't actually want to use because someone had decided to tattoo it on their body.
Use the name you like.
She can have laser removal or a cover up.

Can you use that as the middle name so she can just add the "new" first name to the front?

You should pay for her to have the tattoo removed, changed to the new name, or covered up with a tattoo of something else.
