It's not too surprising that my sister has this name regret, actually. Her two older daughters are from her first marriage. When she was expecting them, the name-choosing process was torturous. The names had to be loved by both her and her husband, and finding ones they both loved proved difficult. The two younger girls are from her second marriage. The name choosing-process during that relationship seemed to be "If Mike likes it, then I do." That's exactly what I heard about both the names chosen---
"Mike likes it."

That's why such a difference in styles between the two older girls, Mara and Brenna, and the two younger ones, Kaylen and Janine. And now my sister is embarrassed by Kaylen. The name, not the the daughter, lol.

Actually, I can never remember if it's spelled Kaylen or Kaylin. Either way, she's embarrassed by it.
