Well, title says it all really. DS is 10 weeks old and is a handsome smilng chap already so gets alot of attention. My parents hate his name but are sort of used to it...my other DC's love the name but its HVs and shop keepers and friends and friends of friends that usually just eh and then oh.

I wasnt bothered at first but now its starting to get to me. I do love the name but am a bit embarrassed now.

Would these sort of things make you change the name??? I'm thinking of changing it to Edward (Ted).

Kai Wayne after 'the' Kai wayne

faeriemoo · 04/03/2012 13:27

knitted Are you sure her name was actually Cinderella? My DD2 often tells people her name is Rapunzel and I just go along with it as it's easier that way!

Deadsouls There's a Tee-Jay at DD2's nursery. Hmm

I saw a little boy on tv called Melgibson. As in his first name was Melgibson all one word like Melgibson Smith. Bloody brilliant.

Iamweasel · 04/03/2012 14:00

^ pretentious and funny ha ha

TidyDancer · 04/03/2012 14:05

Marking place in case the OP comes back and tells all!

It's probably just one of those names that grows on you, and people need time to get used to it.

Unless it's Uranus or Titface, or something like that.

shinecrazydiamond · 04/03/2012 14:06

I have a Teddy so of COURSE you must change it. Ted is a great name.

SparkySparrow · 04/03/2012 14:09

Uranus - Classic Grin Grin

Come on, lets go and play with Uranus Grin`

dontellimpike · 04/03/2012 14:12

Yes please change it and then you can tell us what the original name was. It is not nice to tease us like this.

Haha Rumpelstiltskin, very droll.

InSeine · 04/03/2012 14:16

Without telling us what it is it is impossible to say, come on you know you want to say.

"its HVs and shop keepers and friends and friends of friends that usually just eh and then oh. "
