I never thought I would be in this position, but I am seriously thinking of changing my 9 month old's name. I don't mind his current name, but I don't love it. It doesn't feel like the right name for him. I tend to refer to him as the 'little guy' or something similar to others because his name just doesn't feel quite right. We felt under pressure to name him and I felt we had picked the wrong name very early on. I've sat on those feelings, mistakenly, but they really haven't gone away. My husband feels similarly but less extremely, but is supportive of changing it.
Eurgh. There, I've said it - it's more real now! I will not relish telling people (especially not those who gave us personalised gifts)!
Anyway, stupidly we got a passport for him for a couple of upcoming flights - one I'd say is extremely unlikely to happen, the other is fairly unlikely. Has anyone got experience of changing the name once a baby already has a passport? And the implications for flights.. Or could I re-register him with the new name, but keep the passport and flight details the same until the flights have happened (or not).
Thanks so much for your help. I really appreciate it.
