Do you still love your DC's name

[Fifibluebell]

Or would you pick something different if you could go back?

I do, of course, realise why no one has, but I really wish I knew what names we were talking about here..!

Still love both my DCs names.

The only thing I would say is that I didn't realise how popular my DS's name was before I gave him that name...it was only when I started going to playgroups and playgrounds and there were several other boys with the same name...! But I'm not sure I'd have changed my mind on it though as it's my favourite boys name...even more so now as it's my own boy's name.

And in fact my DD also has a very popular name with variations of the name equally popular. I knew this this time but went with it anyway as it was the only name DH and I could agree on! And I love it

Haha, I don't want to "out" myself because I've posted some quite personal things under this name, but DD's name is nothing outrageous, it's not made up or anything, it's quite a classic name. It's just that we're from a northern, very working class area and when I suggested the name before she was born I got a few raised eyebrows and funny looks, and comments about it being either too posh or too old (or jokes about something the name immediately makes most people think of). I still do think it's lovely though, I don't regret it, but I do cringe a little bit inside when someone asks her name.

Yes, still love them. They are their names and their names are them, iykwim. One of them is not pronounced quite properly where we have moved to and DS has insisted lately that his teachers' pronunciation is right, not his parents' one , but I still don't regret the choice.

Yes, I love them. We had a girl name & a boy name and got b/g twins so got to use both.

I still love the names I gave my two sons. If they had been girls they would have been Ottilie and Felicity, so it was probably a good job they were boys.

Friendly name change and tell us...

Absolutely, I cannot imagine either of my boys being called anything else. Our boys are both named after our grandfathers so have personal meaning too.

Love my sons name - it's a sturdy, solid and calm name, just like him.

Dd's name is a very girly name and she is an absolute tomboy so it has been shortened to something that seems more apt for her.

I love both my ds's names. They are both popular and ds1's name is often on the mumsnet dislike list . The only thing with ds1 is I think it's a naughty boys name. It's the one I always hear screeched at the supermarket I also can't abide the way his cousin says it.

Yes, I better do too. Screech Say it quite a lot.

Yes, very much it really suits him but DS doesn't like it at the moment. He wants it to be something you can buy personalised christmas door hangers and chocolate bars in garden centres.
Had a bit of a falling out about it today so I am just about to order some personalised stuff for his stocking.

First, yes; second, no. As soon as she developed her personality it was clear that, nope... that's not her name. Her nickname is her name.

I'm similar to MrsDeVere.

I love the names we picked for us, the names I picked to fit in for traditional reason I'm more wobbly on and would likely choose something else now that I'm more confident (except DS1 who followed a tradition on his father's side for first born boys and it has really grown on me).
