Then it was perfectly her, and we've never regretted it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-name-regret-if#post-1334252 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 23:43:12 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1334252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't vote but we had a finalist list and at the very end of my pregnancy we "just knew" which was the right one. We waited until after he was born to confirm but it was definitely the right choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-name-regret-if#post-1334242 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 23:40:07 +0000 birdofafeather 1334242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we picked my favorite name, but really didn't finally decide until she was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-name-regret-if#post-1332803 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 19:15:55 +0000 pinkb 1332803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love LO's middle name, but we went with DH's favorite name for her first name. I dont mind it, I like it, but it definitely wasn't my favorite. I dont regret it but I am looking forward to naming another baby in the future and hope that it is more what I like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-name-regret-if#post-1332797 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 19:15:13 +0000 Silva 1332797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really liked our name, but it was never "perfect." I was always suggesting other names. I wouldn't say it fits her "perfectly" because I don't really know what that would mean- but I know her by that name, so it suits her- if that makes sense? And I do love it now more than I did before I had her.</p> <p>I should add, she has a long first name, but we call her and introduce her by a shorter nickname. So maybe my above explanation has to do with the fact that I know her as her nickname, but not really as her full name because we never call her that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-name-regret-if#post-1332751 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 19:07:30 +0000 hilsy85 1332751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I didn't vote, but prior to LO being named, I was pretty sure I liked the name, but wasn't 100%. Then he was born and it was perfect for him. BUT I think the other name we were considering would have been perfect too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-name-regret-if#post-1332743 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 19:06:12 +0000 deerylou 1332743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went back and forth between two. One was the front runner since well before I was pregnant, but it just didn't seem to fit the pregnancy. The second name just stuck out to us, and it thankfully really suits her. I occasionally get bummed out as it seems to be trending now, but no real regrets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-name-regret-if#post-1332700 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 18:56:28 +0000 knittylady 1332700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted #2. We named DS after my dad who passed away. It was a no brainer for me. That being said, it's a name I probably would not have chosen if not for honoring my dad. I HATE the nicknames! Oh well. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-name-regret-if#post-1332694 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 18:55:50 +0000 chopsuey 1332694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We weren't thrilled with our DS' middle name.<br /> We had it changed a few months ago! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-name-regret-if#post-1332687 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 18:54:36 +0000 Mae 1332687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you never fell head-over-heels for a name? </p> <p>Obviously names are heavily on my mind lately! My husband and I came up with a short list pretty quickly and we've been stalled out forever now it feels like. My husband keeps say we just need to pick one, since we love them all, and whichever it is will be perfect. I'm just so paranoid we'll pick one and then I'll regret it later, wishing we'd picked one of the other top contenders! </p> <p>I know we have a bit of time yet, but I'm very anxious to name her and I feel like its just important to me and our bonding to start calling her by name. I wish there was a name that was just so obviously THE name but I really love all of our top picks. </p> <p>So… if you got down to a final list then just… picked one. Did you ever regret it? </p>
