Baby name regret?

My little girls two months old, I had decided on a name for a girl which I love but when my baby come she looked completely different and I felt like it didn't suit her! So I chose a different name, but now I'm not sure I regret the name change and it's really bringing me down.. I wish I'd just chosen my original name :( It feels too late to change it now but it's giving me anxiety and when I say it it never feels right! Anyone else had this? Will I just get over it?

Why don’t you just change it?

Yes I still have this with my 11mo. I wish i has changed it when she was tiny :(

My ex wouldn't discuss names when I was carrying out 2nd dd. When she was born she looked so like her sister it was impossible to choose a name. We chose quickly whilst driving home in the car from the hospital.
Anyway 6 weeks later when speaking to the vicar about her christening I couldn't tell him her name . We changed it that day ! Had the birth certificate changed and have never regretted it . She's now 27 and loves her name !

Can the birth certificate be changed too? I don't want to keep the name and possibly live with regret.. tempted to just add the name I love on the front as the first name.
