We had a beautiful baby boy ten weeks ago yesterday. Today I have finally conceded that as much as I like the name we gave him, none of us have really gotten used to it. And after much discussion with my husband, we have come to the conclusion it just doesn't fit the way a name should.
Has anyone else experienced this? Especially after such a long time?
Thank you

Only thing I can think of is the fact you have already registered. I know I found the baby name I picked out for my second daughter just didn't fit and we swapped her first and middle names and were definitely happier. If you aren't getting used to it and he doesn't seem right with that name then I don't think it's fair to him or yourselves to just put up with it :) good luck xx
Ont think it's hard to change it. I've changed mine (kinda wish I didn't know but oh well) was a simple form and small fee.
I think these days with being able to find out sex of bubs before they are born, names get chosen before they are born. Then when you meet your baby, the name doesn't always fit.
Kinda better not knowing and then having ideas of names you like, but not naming til you meet bubs.
I have no choice, this bub will be David Barrett L*^##%} the third. :s
Hope he fits into his name!
Anyway, if you both agree to change it, why not! Your bubs and you and bubs will have it forever so might as well get it right :)
I haven't but one of my friends did and never regretted changing it for a second. If you and your husband agree then don't think twice about it. 10 weeks is a short time when he has his whole life ahead of him :)
Double post sorry :)
I second guessed my kids names to (not 10 weeks but maybe a couple of days) just wondering if they suit it. They do and I couldn't think of them as anything else but it isn't an easy decision naming another person and if u aren't happy with it, it's only a small fee and a couple of forms and changing their name at the doctors ect. But it's all worth it to have the right name for ur child rather than the wrong one :-)
If you can't change it could you shorten it or call him by his middle name instead.
My dad's name is Eric Kym, but his dad didn't like it so he has always been called Kym.
Our lil girl is Alira, we copped some flack about it, and to keep the peace we call her Ali, I don't think we have ever called her, her real name, she suits Ali much better, she is 3 years old.
