baby registered- but now not sure!

[thisisyesterday]

did anyone else have this?
it took us forever to decide on ds3's name. I managed to persuade dp that my favouritest name of all was ok and we went with it and got him registered.

but now i am just feeling like it isn't right. i wonder all the time if we should have called him the second choice name

argh

but then, i worry that if we change it i'll still feel the same, but the other way round?

yes tis pronounced ay-sa

you see this is why i didn't put the names in my first post.
i knew it woul turn into a thread abo9ut which name other people prefer. and that isn't the point,
i guess i just wanted to know if other people had felt the same when they named their baby, and whether i was just being silly,
now it has turned into a discussion about the specific names

Sorry for asking thisisyesterday, in hindsight it was a mistake.

I think in your situation I would live with your registered name and if, in a few weeks it still didn't feel 'right' I would talk to dp seriously about changing it

Asa is really nice
i think maybe its normal, i started to have 2nd thoughts with my ds aswell. dh told me i was being silly, we stuck with it, it suits him really well and i love it. he was right i was being silly

it's ok notkeenonfish, if i had been sensible i'd have just not said!
i do remember with ds1 wondering if we'd chosen the right name despite it being our number 1 choice and both adoring it.
so maybe it's just one of those things. I think i am over-analysing it becuase I know dp wasn't that keen on it and because it took us so bloody long to decide on it lol

With our DS1 we took 3 weeks to name him and I love his name.

BUT with DS2 we felt really pressured to bring him home with a name and so he got called something that even 2years later I am not sure about - every time I bring it up my DH tells me to choose something else and he will go along with it but that makes it worse because that means he has no passion for DS2's name either.

As you have gone for a strong name I say stick with it - I have tried to come to the decsion that they will grow into it and be it.

If they hate it when they grow up they can always change it - my sister was a Debbie but changed her name to Harriet when she was 18 - every one calls her that now. She just is Harriet.

Do u know what ???..i felt the same !..we named our daughter Alice Macie. Beautiful name but couldn't settle. So after many sleepless nights i added Rose to her name..so she is now Alice Macie Rose. To this day i feel better but not completely sure. But then i think well, thats her name and thats that. I was always worried it wasn't pretty enough, but she is such a pretty blue eyed blonde Alice..Lissy for short xxx I know its hard, you have picked a gorgeous name though xx

I think it's a beautiful and unusual name! In 12 monthstime youy will find it hard to imagine him with any other name! He's a little individual!

I reckon it must be a hormone thing for me...around the same time every month i feel funny about her name, but today i love it !!...aye?..I chose her name and love it ! xx As you should...it is a great name ! xx

I'm the same as you thisisyesterday. DS didn't have name at all for about 10 days and we felt really pressurised to give him one. Choose one name (didn't register it, but announced it on Facebook, I'm classy me ) then after two days I really hated it and dp didn't think it suited him either. So we chose another name that had been one of our favourites (more DP's favourite in hindsight) and that seemed to fit and we registered him.

I've gone through a stage of completely hating the new name (made worse by PND) to accepting that at 10 weeks old that is his name now, but I still don't like it all and keep imagining what it would be like to call him something else.

The feeling still hasn't gone away and last night I thought I might ask DP that we spell it differently and that might help, but realise I'm being stupid. Sorry I'm rambling but I completely understand how you feel.
