long story dd is now 5 months old we took 6 weeks to register her . dh wanted one of the above but didn't dislike my choice i really didnt like the way his chosen name for her sounded and made that quite clear. we could find no other compromise names other than arabella which neither of us felt was completely right .all other nanes dh vetoed . dh insisted on his choice as his family and our other dcs preffered it. i drove to register her in tears wanting to call her something else but dh felt i was being daft .we put down dhs choice as her first name my choice as her second and arabella as her third.now i know this is irrational as both are nice names but when i hear one it just doesnt sound/feel right .
i dislike her first name so much i continue to call her little one or little person(percy) or recently have started to use my preffered name as my petname to avoid saying the other name. i dread hearing her name called by hvs etc or if someone asks her name i cringe when telling them. my dh knows and has known how i feel but is not prepared to discuss it.
she is a beautiful sweet delightful happy little girl whom i adore and feel really awful that thinking of her name makes me really upset/guilty.
is felicity nn cecily or cecily nn felicity too weird/confusing for her and others.
opinions please on both names and ideas as to whether it's possible to grow to love a name . we had considered calling her cecily -felicity or felicity - cecily but they're mouthfuls put together .have purposely avoided stating which name dh prefers and which i prefer to avoid influencing people.
unlikely to have another dc so no point saving one for next time. we have other dcs who we agreed on names either prebirth or very soon ie within minutes afterwards
