HelpRe: Still suffering from name regret-thoughts/advice appreciated (LONG)
in reply to a message by anxiolytics
I think you should definitely give yourself a week or two, not just until tonight. Make a list and see if you like another name better. Or try to remember what you loved about Rosalie!
Was Rosalia ever an option?

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????
