A few truths:
- loving your child's name is good but not imperative
- "almost a month" is not very long for a name to feel right
- you are most definitely not too crazy :)

---

A few ideas:
- Try using August's name a LOT for a few days
- Try using Auggie a lot
- Then try using Kai for a few days. See whether you feel more sure about one than the other.
- Make sure to love your little boy all day long, and not get too hung up on this, even if it does seem like a huge deal.

A few opinions:
- Only change a name if you and your husband agree
- Make his first name the name you and everyone will call him
- Own the decision one way or another and just be honest. ("Everyone" can adjust. It's only been a few weeks.)
- The first couple months postpartum are full or such high highs and low lows. Don't put too much pressure on yourself.

And congrats!
