Help! We've chosen the wrong name...

Have just laid my cards on the table with DH who has admitted he feels the same. Had a hard time choosing a name, and then made a snap decision on the operating table. 3 weeks on, and it's just not the right name for her..

Its a Welsh name, and no one seems to be able to pronounce it - Welsh
speakers get it right, English-speaking Welsh get it wrong and the English relatives just don't get it at all. Every time someone has asked what her name is, I've had to say it twice and then spell it for them... I've been calling her everything but her name.

So, has anyone else spectacularly changed their minds? How do I announce this whilst minimising egg on my face? She has many cards and a gorgeous love spoon engraved with her name.

I just can't believe we did this. I feel so daft.

Congratulations! Gwennan is a gorgeous name (quickly makes note to self if have another DD....), really really lovely, suits all ages, Gwen gorgeous nn too... And don't worry at all about others reactions, it will soon all be a thing of the past and forgotten, and it's what you and your DH and DD feel that matters.
