HelpSecond Chance - Should I take it?
Some of you may remember my Thistle dilemma. I really wanted to give my daughter the middle name of Thistle, to honour her Scottish heritage. My other half refused, so we gave her the middle of Katherine which we both liked but felt boring to me.
Katherine has never felt right, we don't use it (though we use all my other children's middles). It's long to write out, considering she already has a double-barreled surname and another middle name and kind of awkward to say.
My other half has suddenly said if I want to change middle name I can, but I'm now worried while it may be quirky and meaningful to me, it will just be mean and cringe-worthy to my daughter.
So should I go with my heart and change her name or leave things as they are?
She's 10 months if it makes any difference.
