To change my baby's name

[TheresAHoleInMyBucket]

Baby is nearly 3 weeks. Not registered name yet. Can't get used to name we have chosen - and told everyone. I want to change it to something similar in terms of letters but quite different in feel.

Will everyone think we are ridiculous?

Don't worry about what other people think.

Don't worry about what other people will think, definitely change it and as soon as possible!

Yanbu most people will be fine about it and i expect your dc will love to hear about it when they are older. They like stories about their names.

Three weeks is nothing, people will have forgotten her original name in a few months time.

I changed my dd's name after a week, but before registering it, so I must have realised it was not right, So glad I did, and no one remembers, especially dd!

YANBU - you will feel more ridiculous calling your baby a name you don't like for the rest of their life than you will by changing it now and just telling everyone that's how it's going to be!

yanbu, she's going to have this name for the rest of her life so if you're not sure, change it now. Nobody will remember in a few months time.

Change it,you will feel much better.

What's the name?

Just lie. "What do you mean you thought she was called Rachel? She's always been called Rosie. You clearly didn't listen properly when I told you."

^^This!!!

Deffo change it !

if you don't change it it will always get on your nerves and you will probably call her the one you like anyway so just do it. tell people that now you have got to know her she suits this other name better.

Someone I know changed her son's name from his first name to his middle name when he was a year old. It took a few months to get used to it but after that it was like he had never been called the first name.

Not a biggy.

I had a completely different (more exotic and interesting) name for the first week of my life. My mum and dad got cards with my name spelt about 4 different ways and nobody pronounced it properly.

It was fine, apart from there being about a gazillion other girls with my name at school.

Do it. She's only a few weeks
