Well personally I don't like the name Huxley, (please don't take offence if you have called your baby this, I just think of it as a surname) and I think the woman in the article seems a bit disorganised. However, if I'd made an awful mistake with a name or there was a serial killer with exactly the same name that came to light a few weeks later, I would consider it. However, I think with all the deep discussion we have about names that we won't have a problem!

i suppose it's pretty straight forward and i don't see anything wrong with changing the babies name, i think its really hard to choose lol!
i would never change maddi's though! i adore her name 'maddilynne hope' and think maddi's really pretty, though to this day i still think she looks like a 'Hope' moral of my story - we chose middle name hope before first name, we should of stuck with our original choice! lol!

I dont see what the big fuss is all about?

I, personally wouldn't.. You have 6weeks to choose a name that suits your baba x

I, personally wouldn't.. You have 6weeks to choose a name that suits your baba x

And at least 6 months before...

i couldnt, jacob already seems to recognise his name, may just be coincidence but he responds when we say his name.

i didnt like what she sed bout chosing a name for the baby when youve not met it! i chose the babies name well before i got pregnant!

I dont think theres anything wrong with it. When Meadow was first born I called her baby for the first month I thought I had made a mistake with her name so I can understand how she feels.

I love Meadows name now tho.

nahh ive called my child a name i will stick with it, thats my moto.

I agree! We'd named our babbit before it was conceived. I think she is just trying to justify herself. I'm not saying that you have to name your baby first but having a few ideas before your baby is born surely reduces the chances of being in such a predicament 6 weeks after birth.

to each their own. Personally I wouldn't change Hannah's name but I like her name and feel that it suits her

 

[sparkswillfly]

I dont think it matters if you name your child before its born, after 6 weeks or after 6 months. I dont see why its a big deal.

I was just commenting because the woman in the article said:

"We had taken the full six weeks to name our first son, too. It just seemed normal to me to want to live with the baby before deciding what to call him. I've never understood how anyone can come up with a name for someone they have never seen."

I don't see that there is anything wrong with waiting to make your mind up if that is what you wants to do, but it does rather seem that she got to the end of the 6 weeks and 'panic named' both her sons.

I also think it will take a while to get used to calling my baby any name, it is just a matter of getting used to the name.

BTW the name Meadow makes think of the smell of cut grass, larksong and poppies.

I always wanted to call holly lily but OH didnt like it... I didnt think she looked like a holly when she was born til a few weeks after... i just kept saying it and now it really suits her!! I understand how thislady feels if that feeling had never gone away!!

[BradysMum]

I can understand it. We are lost what to call this baby. Nothing really feels quite right. I know we have a while, but if you have that feeling still after the baby is born, then why not change it. I wouldn't change Brady's name, but I love it and it really suits him.

I think that Once you write their name on the health card that they give you at the hospital , then thats their name til they die .
I know a girl whos parents changed the spelling of her name when she was 3 months old but her name stayed the same .
