Accidentally chose a popular name...should I change it?

[Nameregretsagain]

I named my baby after my godmother who is also my aunt. I really struggled to choose a name I liked and in the end decided to honour her. I do like the name but it was a compromise choice really as I couldn’t use my favourite name for other reasons and DH and I couldn’t agree. I’m not from the U.K. and it’s a name from my country. I’ve since discovered it’s having a total moment here and know of lots of other babies called this, apparently because of a tv series where one of the characters has this name. I’m gutted because people keep asking me if I’ve named her after this character and/or telling me how popular it is. I really don’t want these associations for my baby. She is 7 months old. Should I change it?

I did hear of someone changing their babies name once. This person works with a friend. This person called their daughter Isis. Then a few months later, Isis started becoming a word heard in the news all the time. At 7 months old, parents decided they'd had enough of all the raised eyebrows aand associations so changed it.

I'm in London and don't know any little Maeves. I know one who is 22 and that's it!
I've never even heard of Sex Education; I think you are massively overthinking this. Maeve is a beautiful, classy and classic name. Not in the slightest bit faddy!

I've been working in education for 15 years and never, ever come across a Maeve.

It's a beautiful name and certainly not faddy. stick with it
