are you happy wite the names you have chosen after ? years

[pud1]

my dd are called emily and annabel. not the most unusual names i know. they are 2 and 7 months. i still like both the names but have to admit that i still smile when i say annabel as i like it so much. let my oh choose both name sso i am lucky i liked them. not sure what i will think of emily though when she goes to schoola nd she is one of 7 in her class

how do you feel about your childrens names now you have lived with them for a bit.

There are some really lovely names on here!

I have a Catherine (Nearly 3yo) and a Joseph (6 months), both of which I love. The only thing I would possibly change is the spelling of Catherine to Katherine as I shorten it to Katie, but people assume that if it is Catherine then you shorten it to Cathy. Fine if she was older, but doesn't seem right on a 2 year old! (I get fed up of saying 'It's Catherine with a C or Katie with a K!' My own fault really!)

But DH loves the spelling, where as at the time I wasn't too fussed either way, so I can live with it! DH calls her Catherine/Cat/Cats anyway, so will probably migrate to that when she gets older.

my DD is Sian and i LOVE her name as do all the family and DH was very proud to have her as his name-sake (sort of he is Sean)

my first choice of name for her was Elinor but DH hated the name so we had to look for one we both loved she would have been Adam if she had been a He

i have already chosen the names for our future DC and DH is in agreement (up to now) with Alexia (Lexxi) for girl and Aaron (Ronnie- after DHs grandad who was Ronald but i WILL NOT call my DC Ronald so a name with "ron" in it was my compromise and i LOVE Aaron) for boy

dd1 12years Phoebe Margrethe still adore it Phoebe was dh's choice ( named after JD Salingers the catcher in the Rye) and Margrethe was after my paternal grandmother I still love how it sounds together I still look at her and think yes you are 100% a Phoebe

dd2 10 years old Eloisa Jacqueline love it even more than I did when we named her it 10 years ago I love the sound of them togehter I adore how people react to it (oh that is SUCH a beautiful name) I love how it made Sil cry we named her after her and omg I love I got to name her what I dreamt we had a little girl

ds 8 years old Conrad Paul Yes I still like it I still look at him and nod thinking yes right choice Paul is after my late bil and I actually love how people do a double take over this one it is not considered a popular name I have noticed people react strongly I love that either they are 100% behind it going OMG thats gorgeous or they are really not liking it (and usually to polite to say so)

dd3 6 years Aoife Sørine I adore it I love Aoife I love how no one can spell it I adore how they go OHHH thats so pretty when they realise how to pronounce it and as my dearly loved grandpa whom she is named after (Søren) passed away when she was only 6 m old I still feel so happy we did pick that name for her

so yes in answer to the question I very much feel happy with the choices dh and I made so many years ago
