I am still very happy with the names we gave our first son and daughter. I don't know what this baby is yet, but they're proving much harder to name now that my husband has taken a sudden interest and has opinions .
Anyone wish they'd named their child something other than what they named them? Maybe they just don't suit that name, or you didn't realise how popular it was, or someone pressured you to choose it and you had your heart set on something else? Just interested to find out how names pan out in the long run.
I think the only thing I find I regret is that my son's name is now almost unisex, a friend who is into name forums tells me, and my daughter's name I find everyone mishears and says a totally different name. That does get annoying.

Nope not one bit. I knew it would be my daughters name, long before I was ever pregnant. The only thing I kinda regret is that I let other ppl almost talk me out of it, making claims it would be too weird, etc. So I tossed around more common names, but in the end I looked at her and knew her name. I stood my ground and I haven't looked back. I love it, she loves it, now everywhere we go ppl compliment it .

HI! I agree your daughter's name is awesome

I was regretting adding Alexandra to my daughter's name. We both started second guessing what we wanted to name her. We wanted to keep Cadence and Elizabeth. I wanted Sophia and he wanted Alexandra. He wanted to have the option to call her "Alex". Since she has been born, we call her Cadence. Even though her name is long and my husband doesn't call her "Alex", her name has grown on me.
