Thinking of changing 7 weeks olds name!

[Wineandpopcorn]

My DD is 7 weeks old, and my husband has never been happy with her name. I am now also starting to have doubts, and am wondering if we should change it! Has anyone else changed the name quite late on?

I prefer Willow to Scarlett.

Willow is so much nicer than Scarlett. No comparison.

I prefer scarlett

I like Willow. I know it's quite popular, but it's so elegant.

I hate it when people are rude about a baby's name. I mean, if I said, "hi, I'm Hildegard", you wouldn't say "ooooh, Hildegard! I really hate that name!" would you?

Rude!

Willow is a gorgeous name, why not add Scarlett as her middle name?

I personally think Willow is problematic. Someone at some point will point out 'pussy willow' and she will get teased. Also it is a lovely name for a slender beauty but if she turns out to be overweight it is almost mean, like her name is taunting her. A bit like a tiny guy being called Lanky.

Its a shame because it is gorgeous for a baby.

I think if you do decide to change her name it seems straightforward in terms of process.

Oh that's a lovely name

Much much much prefer Willow. Scarlett always makes me think of scar/s (mho) x

Willow is so lovely

No one would associate willow with being willowy unless she was.
It would just be her name. And she will grow into it.

Unless you think she is not a willow OP?

I did a name change btw, and no regrets!

Willow is so much nicer!

I couldn't use a name that my dh didn't also like so for that reason I'd change it to something you're both ok with.
I desperately wanted to call dd Georgina a name I'd always liked but he really didn't like it- he did like Georgia so we reached a happy middle and her name really suits her- I completely love it.
