Yeah, I was going to say that in #1 yesterday! but my mouse died and I had to restart. Also, Katrina is ethnic with Kelley, but Schuyler isn't? Wha.
I'm not on board about it being "hormones" but I do think it's sort of self-indulgent to obsess about it. What's done is done; you change your mind every day. A good name was chosen, the box is checked off. If you don't have another specific name that both parents really desire to change it to, why freak out.
Anyway my suggestion is Calista. I kinda like how it sounds with Kelley.

For a moment there, I was about to sympathize with you,thinking you had a little rodent that was no more. Then I realized, no, you refer to a computer mouse.
I guess because I'd been reading about funerals in the lounge.
I sort of feel like my kids came with their names, could never imagine them being anything but what they are. With each, though, I had to stop referring to them as "The Baby."

I am not sure why he thinks Katrina is too ethnic-but he does. i think I prefer it to Rosalie but I know he doesn't, so I may have to let it all go, whether it is self-indulgence, hormones, or nothing but sheer regret. He did not like Calista, I remember that specifically, but thank you for the idea!

Sorry if I sounded harsh ... I do relate to you. I've had some pangs of self-criticism for the names I gave. But it's not bad, I still like them a lot, and those are their names. I felt sort of disempowered once the naming was done - but the cake was baked, I would have felt too silly trying to unbake it, and also ... I enjoyed just being fascinated at what I had wrought, that had gone beyond me. Bearing the given name is like the second separation of child from mother (the first one being birth). Gotta let go.

Thats's pretty much how my husband feels. Thank you for apologizing for sounding harsh, and I appreciate your opinion, I can totally understand the point that both you and he are making, it's hard to imagine actually doing it (changing her name)but I also would like too think I did not make a collosal mistake. I still have such regret over my oldest child's name, i guess that is part of it for me, that he would not let me use the names I loved then, etc.
