Girl name regret

Baby is less than 6 months old. After long discussion we registered her at the last moment as Cecilia. I wasn't convinced but DH said I'll get used to it. So far I've only been calling her Cece, which I love, but her full name just sounds so lispy and doesn't suit her Sad!
Will I get used to it or will I forever regret not changing it? My other option was Serena which my DF didn't like so I decided against it. DH thinks I'm silly but it just doesn't feel right. I had a bereavement soon after the birth of the baby and I was not quite myself as well.

You can’t really dictate anything anyway. My parents always used the shortened form of my birth name and I absolutely hated it. I much preferred the full version of my name.

I LOVE Cecilia nn CeCe! Worry not OP, it is gorgeous! Very cute / cool / chic.

My heart goes out to you. That you lost your mum when your baby was 7 days old. I can't imagine how tough that must have been for you. I think the way you are feeling and also that it is so hard to describe is totally understandable. I know you say it doesn't make sense - but what you are saying makes a lot of sense emotionally.

I agree.
Are you close to your MIL? Could you talk the whole situation through with her? She might not mind about what she made if she knows how you feel.
