HelpRe: Name change for 3 month old daughter
in reply to a message by Mira
Dreadful that they pressured you to choose before you were ready! It's silly.
If Emilia doesn't seem to suit her, then now's a good time to change it. It's not silly. People might give you a hard time, but people are just resistant to change. They'll get used to a new name before you even know it! If adults can change their names and people adjust, then a baby can too.
Juliet Emilia is very beautiful. Sophie Isabelle is also very cute ... Really, any of the names work well together. I also like Amandine's suggestion of adding it on the beginning so she can keep Emilia Isabelle too.
Do any of the other names feel more "like" her? Does any one name seem to roll off the tongue more easily? Or come to your mind unbidden? Which one feels the most right when you imagine calling it out after she dashes away from you at the supermarket in 5 years?
