Hi there,

Well, as the post title suggests.. DD2 is nearly 4wks old and we're not sure that her name (Charlotte) suits her.

Not sure whether this is just because she's a teeny baby and needs to grow into her name.

Her middle name is Elisabeth, but I guess one option is to pick a nickname from her middle name and call her that?

We haven't registered her yet, but of course we've told everyone she's called Charlotte, all the congratulations cards have her name on, her red book etc. etc.

We've tried shortening it to Lottie but it just doesn't feel right.

Is it terrible to change a name after 4wks? Has anyone else done this? I know it's daft, but I'm really worried about what other people will think. And that it's changing her identity in some way!!

my DD is called Eve. I love the simplicity of it as well and think its a very sophisticated grown up name. After about 2 days though, we started calling her Evie, which I think is a sweet name for a little girl. She is registered as Eve and can make up her own mind later on. By the way, I know someone who wanted to call her DD Eve but family voted for Charlotte. She seems a bit wistful about it.

how about carlotta, lotta, carry, letty, lotte.
