HelpRe: Name change for 3 month old daughter
in reply to a message by Mira
It's fine, if you really feel like it's not her name.
To make it less weird for her later on, I would just add a name. So make it Juliet Emilia Isabelle (or one of the other two).
That way she won't have to find out later that she used to have a completely different name and she won't mourn it ("Oh, I wish they would have stuck with Emilia", because she'll still have it and could switch to it).
I personally like Juliet better than Emilia, but I like Emmy better than Juliet, I think.
1. Juliet Emilia Isabelle
2. Sophie...
3. Natalie...
Before you change it legally, call her Juliet for two days, to see if it feels right.
