Our dogs name is Dutch- which I think is an awesome nn.</p> <p>No, my DH picked our DDs first and middle names- her first name only 20ish girls in the U.S. were named last year. It's unusual and I get lots of questions from people who meet her for the first time. I love it and am happy we chose it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2/page/2#post-2238191 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 08:50:35 +0000 LuLu Mom 2238191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: I hate to admit this because ugh it's kind of embarrassing but my name is the same name as my dad's favorite childhood horse...seriously. He really wanted to name me Jennifer but my mom drew the line because that was his childhood dog's name. I guess a horse is okay but a dog is off limits? Ha! </p> <p>I have no naming regret, both girls were my top two names. DD2 has the runner up name for DD1. It was originally off the table because I didn't want to names with the same letter, but honestly she does not fit the other name we had picked out at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2/page/2#post-2238121 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 07:42:30 +0000 LBee 2238121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rocker2014: This exactly. Naming is hard work!</p> <p>I love his nickname (which is what he solely goes by), but worry sometimes about his first name being mispronounced. I have considered changing the position of first and middle (shout out to @chopsuey for the advice), but for now I'm leaving it be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2/page/2#post-2238061 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 06:32:51 +0000 Rocker2014 2238061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love DD's name, but had no idea how often it would be mispronounced. It is close to a top 10 name, and even though it is clearly a different name that is easily recognizable (and in the top 100!), it is still constantly misread/mispronounced to be the very popular name. So I have a bit of regret that she may have to deal with this, if I could have anticipated this issue I would have chosen a different name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2238043 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 05:56:45 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 2238043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do a little with DD only because Kaia will forever be misspelled and mispronounced. I still love the name itself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2238037 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 05:49:09 +0000 Dandelion 2238037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only regret D'so first name because it is my ex'so middle name. But, it otherwise suits him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237996 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 23:48:18 +0000 sandy 2237996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: i really really really love your DD's name for a boy or girl. I'm really hoping to use it someday! We shall see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237854 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 20:32:49 +0000 glitterboots 2237854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a little. I really wanted the name Sophia Grace or Ann-Marie (my sister's middle name) but my husband hated both. He really wanted another name that is nice, I just don't love it. But it seems to suit her </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237835 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 20:11:37 +0000 chopsuey 2237835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love both names! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237807 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 19:35:27 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2237807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: The battle is forever haha. It seems like such an easy name!! But nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237802 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 19:23:33 +0000 twodoghouse 2237802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: My husband wishes we had saved our old dog's name for a baby too. She was named Charlie and he would have liked that for either boy or girl. She passed away a year before our kids were born and he still wanted to use the name for DD. I just couldn't imagine giving our daughter the same name as our dog! </p> <p>No regrets, although I'm sometimes sad about all the names we won't get to use. We're just going to have to have a million dogs to use up my favorite names! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237789 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 19:10:01 +0000 Andrea 2237789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am still happy with the names I chose. Haha. I chose their first and middle names. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237681 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 16:40:06 +0000 skipra 2237681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of them I kind of wish we swapped first and middle names. I just don't really love the first names together but they are both named after great grandfathers so I can't really say I regret the names just I like the middle name better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237638 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 15:51:06 +0000 bunnylove08 2237638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237637 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 15:50:01 +0000 kjpugs 2237637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't say I regret the name we chose for DD2, but I'm not as THRILLED IN LOVE with it as DD1! We did 100% family names with DD1, and her first name is super unique. DD2 we felt more limited with options. The name we chose I LOVE the nickname for. But people spell both the first name and it's nickname wrong a lot. Already. And I hate that about my name already, so I feel bad for her about it. It's also more common. I wish we had a more unique option to match DD1's but I just love the nickname so much (it's what we'll call her, anyway) and honestly, DH loved it so much, I was like dude whatever WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER GIRL! DH could probably have asked to name her after his great aunt Dorcas (true story) and I'd be like whatever it's fine ITS A GIRL! (I was hoping for sisters!) I didn't have any better ideas! I love her middle name though- I should add that. It was from my family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237632 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 15:43:47 +0000 namaste 2237632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOVE her name. I was worried about it while pregnant but it fits so well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237621 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 15:35:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2237621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so so so so in love with my son's name! No name even comes close for me. It's so perfect and suits him perfectly.</p> <p>My regret is the spelling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237612 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 15:25:24 +0000 mrs. wagon 2237612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zero! I love both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237607 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 15:21:57 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2237607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had slight regret over DS's name after he was born I thought people would think it's trendy or made up, but we chose it because of its meaning, and his personality fits the meaning so perfectly that now I love it. I also love the many nicknames/rhymes I get to make with his name. Now I love it and couldn't imagine him with any other name! DD's name was love at first sight, and still is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237555 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 14:42:40 +0000 Mrs. Peanut 2237555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have LOs, but my mother told me that she regretted my name! She said she and my dad both liked my name, but if they had thought of name X, they both agreed they would have named me that instead. They would have given that name to my sister, but it sounds too similar to my name. </p> <p>This isn't it (to protect my privacy), but imagine that my name was Jessica and my parents thought of the name Jillian after I was born and like it better than Jess. Jess and Jill sounds too much like Jack and Jill, so they couldn't use Jill for my sister. Hence my parents regret naming me "Jess" instead of "Jill". At least that's what they told me. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237464 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 13:42:52 +0000 Alivoo01 2237464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: Same here on the not regret, but took me awhile to warm up to the name. Still working on it sometimes! Bad mommy. I know. :(</p> <p>@Rubies: You should just call her Audrey. I know some people go by their middle names instead of first! :P Don't tell your DH I said that though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237400 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 13:06:49 +0000 Foodnerd81 2237400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: dh really wanted to name his child Wrigley, after Wrigley field, but we agreed when we got married that we would name the first dog we get together Wrigley instead. I'm glad that's already decided. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237399 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 13:06:13 +0000 LomaLinda 2237399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I regretted the spelling of my son's name for a few weeks (it is a name that commonly can be spelled two different ways), wishing I had picked the alternate spelling, but now I don't even think about it and the name (spelling and all!) just suits him so well-- it's "him" now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237396 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 13:02:00 +0000 mrbee 2237396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: You didn't get to choose the name of EITHER of your daughters????</p> <p>But seriously, they do have pretty awesome names. Although I love Audrey too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237392 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 12:58:00 +0000 Rubies 2237392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I fought harder to have D1's name to be what I REALLY wanted it to be, which is Audrey. Audrey is her middle name as a result. My husband was so adamant about the names of both my daughters that I just let him have his way. When people hear of this, they're like, "You didn't get to choose the name of EITHER of your daughters?????" :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237383 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 12:46:30 +0000 BeachMama 2237383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't love DS's name. We named him after my dad and it's still a little weird for me to call him that name. If it wasn't my dad's name it's not something I would've picked, although it's a classic, strong, and common name. </p> <p>I LOVE DD's name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237379 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 12:44:01 +0000 anbanan15 2237379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Both names were picked years before we even conceived our first. </p> <p>Does name regret for the dog count? I'm pretty sure my husband regrets the name he picked for our one dog and wish he saved it for our son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237363 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 12:36:33 +0000 matador84 2237363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No we get complimented on our kids names pretty often, I'm still loving our choices! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-regret-2#post-2237348 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 12:24:11 +0000 Foodnerd81 2237348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never for a second have I regretted her name- it's perfect for her and I love it. </p> <p>I'm worried about naming LO#2 because we don't have anything we like nearly as much. </p>
