HelpRe: Still suffering from name regret-thoughts/advice appreciated (LONG)
in reply to a message by kudriashkajo
hmm, OK, i was thinking I needed to do it by tonight. I was just on the phone with a close friend and she was so surprised about my regret, saying she thought Rosalie was a home run. Part of me wonders if I do just need to let it go, but part of me does want some time to mull it over. I like your idea of our both coming to the table with names. he has never offered up names because he says I always come up with something he likes-and i don't think he will this time since he is happy with Rosalie. The burden will be on me. I'll definitely place a limit on any time to discuss per his request and your suggestions, but I'll need to come up with something other than names he has vetoed.
Interesting point about my not loving it less-simply because it was not #1...I am warming up back up to it now that many people have dispelled the notion of it's tackiness or potential common mis-emphasizing. Still feeling a bit morose about it's not ending in A, so i will do a bit more hunting and then I'll need to call it quits.

Hi,
No I didn't care for Rosalia so it never came up. Ok, I will try to patiently give myself a few days and make up a list. Problem is 1)It seems like such a time-sensitive issue and 2)I just keep coming back to the same names now, all of which he vetoed!!!! It is helping me that outsiders like her name so much, and I am guessing that your other suggestion of my remembering why I liked Rosalie will be the path I'll need to take. I probably need to give myself a while to et away from the thoughts of "Rosa Lee" ringing in my ears.

Yes, I could try to just ignore it and be my own person and be confident in my name choice-I just don't know if I can stomach it ALL her life and I am worried I won't get over it.
FWIW I have talked to him and he says he's willing for me to CALL her Violet, that he'd be a little sad as he likes Rosalie and thinks it is wrong to change any child's name after that child is named-but he'd be willing to call her violet w/o an official name change and that's about it. He's happy with Rosalie and has no intention of changing it. So my option is really to decide if I want to call her by her middle name Violet now, or stick with her given first name. He thinks Katrina sounds too Russian????
