When I was pregnant, my husband and I struggled to think of a name for a boy. We had plenty of names for a girl, but nothing for a boy.
But when our baby was born - a little boy - one name popped into my head (I'll just refer to that name as R!). We told our families and they said they really didn't like it. It made me doubt the choice. So DH and I kept looking for another name.
Eventually we settled on a name (I'll refer to that as T). My baby is 7 weeks old now and, 3 weeks ago, we registered him as T, and told everyone his name was T.
But I can't get used to it! It doesn't feel quite right. I keep accidentally calling him R, or stumbling and forgetting that his name is T when people ask me. I'm not even sure I like the name!
Has anyone changed their baby's name this late? I know we'd come across as flaky to friends and family, but I'm not sure if I care, but my husband does. (I changed my wedding dress 2 weeks before my wedding - people already think I'm kind of a flake!)
I am wondering if I'll just get used to T, or if I should just go with my instinct of R. My husband doesn't like the idea of changing the baby's name though, he'd take some convincing.
Anyone had any similar experiences? Any advice would be fab!
