Is it too late? There was a name I always loved and thought we would probably use as, while it was never DH's absolute favourite, he said he liked it. However, due to our location we had to name our daughter before leaving the hospital and at the last minute, literally while standing holding registration papers, DH admits he's not that keen on my no. 1 name. We were in a huge rush, I was a hormonal mess and felt so blindsided that I let him pick another name from our shortlist.
I like the name but haven't really got used to it and I still call her "the baby". DH knows this, feels bad about how it all panned out, and is happy for me to change it to my original choice. It's a massive hassle (We're not in the UK) though and I'm now doubting my original choice and wondering if it's worth changing it if I like her current name, just not quite enough to get rid of the niggly feeling it's a mistake. I'm very indecisive by nature and terrified I will regret the change even more than leaving it as is.
I've now been obsessing over this for three months and I still don't know what to do. The current name has grown on me, but not enough to stop me from being wistful for my original choice. Changing it is getting harder as time passes, but I'm still dithering. (This is probably our last baby).
Would you change it? Have you changed your baby's name and regretted the change? Or do you wish you'd had the courage to change it but didn't? Arg. TIA.
