Advice on naming - dreamt of name

[OnNo1]

A bit weird, I am not given to dreams or superstition much.

Just before my DS was born, I dreamt that we had named him a particular name. However, we are settling on a name for him so we can register him and it's a different name from my dream. Both names would suit him fine.

Has anyone else had this? What did you go for? How did it turn out?

I know it's a bit crazy so feel free to post opinion too ;)

I second everything @Jellycat00 said.

The special sign thing made me laugh - the foetus won’t even recognise their own name till they are 3 months old but they’re signalling it in advance?!

I am pregnant and recently dreamt I gave birth to a guinea pig - so I sure hope it isn’t a sign of things to come!

@Hecateh that’s not completely accurate - the birth certificate is formalised early on - I think legally babies have to be registered by 6 weeks old. You can change a baby’s name up to one year (if not baptised) but it’s an amendment on the original birth certificate - so both the former name and the new name appear on the birth certificate.

AverageMummy if you change it within the first year the ‘original’ name is removed completely and there is no reference to it on the BC at all. It’s only if changed after a year the ‘original’ name remains on the BC.
