Is anyone not in love with LOs name?

Hambly · July 2010

I ended up settling on a name that I like but don't love and I figured I would end up loving it once she was here but I still regret not giving her the name that really spoke to me (which dh hated, we could agree on anything to save our lives). I feel so guilty for not being head over heals about it, anyone else feel the same way?

I like LO's name...I don't regret it, but I just can't quite identify her with the name yet, if that makes sense. I wish we could wait six months to have a legal name.

And I still hate that it is so popular. And no one can pronounce Isolde.

I kind of have the opposite problem. I named my son Maack (pronounced Mack) because it was my maiden name. People don't '"get it" usually though. . They either think I said Max or Matt. . and when they do understand me, they ask me his full name. . . It is already getting annoying and he's only 4 weeks!

Ive liked the name Isolde since the movie Tristan and Isolde came out. I even named my rabbit Tristan after the movie lol. If we got a female her name would be Isolde

Ive already had two people from our hospital survery people call and ask for the parents of "Bryan" I am like you mean BRYNN! They almost always gt embarrased, but come on now! Learn to read.

Me, but I promised my husband when we had DS that if he let me name DS he could name the next one. I like her name for the most part...it's just going to take me a while to love it!

Maybe that's it, maybe I'm just not identifying with it yet. I generally just refer to her by some goofy nick name so maybe Harper just isn't who she is to me quite yet.

I love DD's name, but not so in love with the spelling. It was a compromise... I was the bigger fan of the name, so I let Dh choose the spelling. I don't hate it though...

Harper is a lovely name.

Not popular to me...the only Isolde I think of is from the movie "Tristan and Isolde"...I like it a lot AND I can pronounce it....well I think I can..is-old, right??? Or is it ees-old?

I love DS's name but he gets called Carson instead of Cason a lot. Also our pedi has an automated message for appointments and it always says Kevin, lol, guess they don't have Cason in their recordings. Finley is my MIL's maiden name and casonwas born on the 3 year anniversary of her fathers death.

I love my DS's name but HATE how popular it is. Call me stupid but I didn't realize this when I picked it out for him. I guess I should have checked into that before I picked it. He's going to hate me when he's older I'm sure lol. FWIW I LOVE your DD name! And when I look at her pic in your siggy I think it fits her well.

DH really wanted to name dd Brielle, and I also feel 'kinda funny' calling her by that. I mostly call her Ellie and introduce her as that as well because i get a lot of 'what?, braille?, brieel?" it drives me nuts....... hardly anyone has said they like her name.

I like it.

change it!

We have a Harper, too, but he's a boy. :-) I'm not in love with the fact that it's becoming a popular girl's name but I think it fits for girl or boy and I am absolutely in love with his name. As soon as we decided on his name when I was pregnant he was 'Harper'. Not baby or little one, but Harper, so for us it is his identity.

I really do like my daughter's name BUT it's really hard for me to identify her as "Hadley". I call her "Boo" a lot or "Baby" (but I'm big on nicknames). I think what is doing it is that I pictured a blonde little girl named Hadley (both of our familes are all blonde) and she came out with red hair. I love love love her red hair, but for a good 5 months I pictured my little blonde Hadley so it just is taking time to get used to her name. If that makes any sense at all.

I went to middle school with a girl named Brielle and I LOVED her name. If our last name didn't sound so funny with it I would keep in on the list for a DD
