Name regret

Is anyone scared of getting name regret? Or, has anyone previously experienced it with another child? Do you wish you went with your second or third baby name option?

I’m 31 weeks and I can’t decide on a name. Scared to regret it as well. I think it’s a normal thing and I would wait until birth but I want to have it picked out so I can have his name embroidered on our stockings for Christmas. Due December 21st🫣

I like my LB name. Enzo, But people think it’s not suitable for him, which makes me think 🥹

I don’t regret the name I chose but I picked a very uncommon name-Finnegan, over a top 5 name that was a long time favourite- William. Only to find the short form Finn being used frequently and I still have yet to meet a single William his age 🙄 you just can’t win lol. I also just found it very hard to settle on something. My son is 3 now and in some ways I still wonder if I made the right choice, even though there isn’t another name I wish I picked instead. I’m hoping to decide about my next baby’s name before I even get pregnant (incase that makes it any easier?)

Yes! I’m a bit obsessed with names, I definitely worry about name regret. I think I’m putting too much pressure on myself.

This was always a huge fear of mine but my little guy is 2 now and I’ve never regretted it once. It’s a little more popular than I’d like but that’s not always a bad thing. It suits him and has lots of variations he can choose from later!

Yes I’ve experienced a lot of anxiety about this!
