AIBU over my newborn's name?

[SweetToof]

I feel a bit moody and hormonal so I'm fully prepared to be told I am being unreasonable.

I went with my DP to register our DS yesterday. He pushed to name him himself, in order to follow a family tradition where the men have the same middle names as their sons. He also chose his first name, which I okay-ed as it went well with the others.

The issue is, my DP has a son from a previous relationship. I wanted to give our son an entirely unique name, and disregard the family 'tradition', but my DP argued that having the same middle and surname would link the brothers with each other, and then with him, so I gave in.

Yesterday however, he revealed accidentally that his first DS was given his (DP's) full name as a middle name, as well as another name (which I didn't know), and our son, only has one of his names as a middle name. So much for family tradition, the 2 DC don't actually have the same middle names at all, and now I'm annoyed!

All the names I had wanted, he hated and now I feel like I've been conned into calling my son something which I hate. I haven't spoken to him for an entire day, and honestly I think I will feel bitter unless I am able to alter the birth registration myself.

AIBU?

But now i wanna now how this story ended 😊

Change it. Why call your baby something you do not like.

😂 did not realise thread was so old

You can make a change before 12 months - I did. It only shows as an amendment rather than a whole new certificate (or maybe that was just because I adjusted the name - originally eg Ben changed to Benjamin).

Then you find out the other boy was named David Eric Oslo Smith, and that your partner lied to get his name as the middle name.

I know a llama named Oslo.

SweetToof come back and tell us what you called him !😀
And whether you got rid of idiot DP.
