Erin or Eleanor

Really need to get some opinions on these names.

I named my daughter Erin when she was born but I just can't warm to the name. It wasn't on our list but it just sort of happened. I had spent a lot of time in the hospital prior to giving birth due to complications and I think I just wanted to name her but thinking back it's possible that I've attached lots of negative emotions to the name. Instead I call her baby a lot.

I love the name Eleanor (pronounced with an a at the ends OH prefers it) but it seems like a big step to change the name.

She's 7 months already so need to decide asap.

What do people think of the names and has anyone changed their child's name so late?

Ah that’s brilliant OP. Eleanor is lovely and Henry/Eleanor are just gorgeous together. Well done for going with your instinct and doing it! Flowers

Slightly behind on the bandwagon lol but Henry and Eleanor sound brilliant together. Really pleased you changed it to something you’re happier with
