More than a few times when out, if someone asks what LO's name is, they've replied "Well, that's different" or some variation like that. One lady even asked if that's his nickname. These responses always surprise me.
His name is Miles, which is traditional and while not super common, not outlandish either.
Anyway, this got me wondering if anyone would change their Lo's name if they could. I love his name, no regrets or remorse here.
Re: Still happy with name choice?
This would drive me nuts. One of the reasons I like our name choice is that it can't be shortened. MIL calls him "my-my"....which, no. Just no.
I don't think anyone has ever once referred to her as Audrey- she is known as Josie, and I believe it fits her wonderfully. It started to get annoying when doctors would call for "Audrey" and we were like, "who?" ...lol
Anyways, the name changing process turned out to be the easiest thing ever(even though everyone made it seem like it would be a nightmare). All it took was a trip to the local Vital Records dept and the woman there filled out one paper and mailed it in for us. No money involved since she is less than 1yr. All we have to do is get it updated on her SS card, no biggie. Now it is Josephine Elise, which I am in love with, and my mother can no longer refer to her as "A.J."(yuck).
Thanks!
I love my little one's name - Molly. She was supposed to be Natalie - but when we found out she was a girl, we started calling her that and both agreed 2 days later it didn't fit. Talk about a spot on instinct. She is 100% a Molly and not a Natalie (although I still LOVE the name Natalie.)
Her middle name is Mildred - after my Grandmother. I'm surprised by how many people ask me her middle name and I also get some odd looks. I get it, it's sort of an odd middle name --- but my Grandma was such an amazing person that I don't care in the slightest..... but yet i still get annoyed every time I find myself explaining to someone why we chose it.
Her initials are MMM. Another thing I don't love but in the end I don't care.
All things considered - we nailed her name as far as I am concerned

Warner is absolutely the right name for our kiddo, no doubt about it!
Nice pick. I LOVE the name Maeve - but it just doesn't sounds good with our last name
I'd never heard the name Eloise until I started LO at daycare - I love it!

Anyway, I like her name but just don't think it suits her. It is Cortana Alexa. Lately, I have been calling her Cora, or Alexa instead. We had the name change discussion but DH is not on board.
I find that in public I either get, "that's so pretty!" Or "that's different,". I've even gotten "I'm not going to remember that so I'm not even going to try." It's frustrating.
