anyone else regret.....?
Their babys name????? We have registered our baby a perfectly decent name which suits him, but it's nothing like the names I had thought of when pregnant and it was my OHs suggestion. I just would have preferred on hindsight to have called him something more unusual and in some ways wish we still could. Am I the only one being this silly???? I know there's nothing I can do about it now and do think of him as this name so could'nt really change it even if I could but still feel a bit funny about it. :roll:

A few days after she was born (when I was in baby blues/PND hell) I had a massive wobble about it and told OH I wanted to change it (to Sophie) and he thought I was crazy suggesting we text everyone again to say we'd changed her name when we'd already received so many cards saying 'welcome Beth'! I didn't call her Beth for ages. And it felt really weird when I did. In fact occasionally I would call her something else (Sophie, Sophia, Carla) to see if it felt better. I think like others have said at the start any name feels a bit strange really so I probably would have wobbled about any name we'd picked.
Now she is Beth to me. Buuuuut, I do sometimes wish we had chosen a longer name or a name with more alternatives. Like Hannah Wannah etc! There's not much you can do with 'Beth'! We went for just 'Beth' as I wasn't keen on 'Bethany' (OH's parents have v strong London accents and I didn't want her being 'BEF-an-nAAY.) But sometimes Beth seems too abrupt. So I often end up going 'Be-eth'! I also solve the problem by calling her Bethelina, Chunky Monkey much more than Beth!
Anyway, essay over!
