Does anyone have any regrets about their child's name?

Not here! I love Brynlee's name. I have been hearing about more and more babies being named Brynlee though. I was hoping it'd stay a more unique name.

Every other day or so, I think of boy names in the shower (my thinking time) and I think of how I can't name him a "B" name because we (or I) definitely want his middle name to be Joseph and there's no way I want him to be nicknamed BJ!!

I kinda do. He just never looked like a Colton to me. I love the name, Im just still having a difficult time associating that name with my baby. But daddy really loves it, so Colton it is.

Kinda sorta... but not really.

Alexis is soooo common and blah IMO. Kairi is not a very common name, and I love unique, out there, but not too weird names. Every name I suggested got shot down, DH kept suggesting "Alex" names, which I realized was because of his attachment to the name Alexander, which is his first name, which was given to him by his birth mother. Sooo... I let him have it. Alexis was my personal favourite of the girl Alex names.

I call her Lexi a lot, but still... I find the name very common. I cringe a little every time I hear someone else with the name... It's not regret, because I'm happy she's named after her daddy, and he's happy about this too. It's just... blah. I do think it fits her though. It'd be worse if she didn't look like and Alexis I think.

I have full reign over the next baby name.

I love his name (William). He's definitely a William or Will, too, so I got lucky there. He is named after my grandfather, who was the best person who ever lived. He passed away 3 1/2 years ago. You have no idea how much I wish he could have held him just once.

Mandy, I don't know and have never heard of another Brynlee if that makes you feel better!

My First cousin his name is Brian James and everyone has always called him B.J & that is the name he goes by, no big deal really and he has never gotten picked on before for it!


But back to the question, I do love his name and I do think it fits him perfectly however I LOVE the name Elijah but DF said no way, if we have another baby and he is a boy he WILL be named Elijah no matter what DF says lol.

My 2nd DD however I love her name soo much, it sounds so pretty IMO, Olivia Ivy Ann, sometimes I wish we named her Ivy as her first name (my DF picked that name ) But we couldn't find anything we loved to match it for the middle name.

No regrets here really. I just get tired of people going "oh, that's unique" when I say his name. Yes it's different, but it's not that far out there. It's not Moonchild or something for goodness sakes. Plus, it is a real name, just not very common.

Ah, it wasn't my first choice name, but it was the only name DH and I could agree on, so I'm not complaining.

Nope. I love it. He definitely fits the name too I think.

Now, his middle name, I'm not a huge fan of, but it's DH's middle name, and in my family we have a tradition where the kids get their parents' middle names, and I wanted to continue that, so Robert it is! Not sure what I would have chosen, but I'm fine with it.

Nope I still love the name Liam.... and I really wanted my Dad's name in there in memory of him (Wade), but DH wanted his Dad's name too (Reginald) and it's also his mn.... So his name is Liam Reginald Wade. So sometimes I think his name is too long, but he doesn't have to use his mn much i guess.

Part of me regrets her middle name, but I did it for a reason, so on some level, it's important to me.

But will always be kinda sad about her middle name not being exactly what I wanted.

But I'm 100% happy with her first name! I picked it, & have no regrets!

I love his name. So much so that it's going to be hard to name another boy.

Nah, I love it. Not completely out there but still not super common. Perfect. It was my second choice (I had my heart set on Silas) but I feel good about my decision to let John have the final say in naming his firstborn baby. Besides, this just means that I'll get to name Baby #4 if that day ever comes .
