What are your thoughts on changing a 5minth olds name. She is Poppy at the moment but I feel quite strongly now her name should have been Mae. She has siblings that will probably object and struggle to change and also generally I think people would struggle to adjust to calling her something different. I was very confused when she was born but now I’ve settled I have regret. What are your thoughts?

Dont change it.

Poppy is a really beautiful name and you chose it for a reason.

Speak to someone and try understand the feelings you are feeling.

Best of Luck. Hope you feel happier soon!

Change it to Poppy-Mae? I think that sounds really cute

No, no! Double barrelled first names are really tacky. A right mouthful too.
