Considering baby name change
I live in Scotland and registered birth within 21 days but as soon as I registered the birth of my baby boy, I regretted. I want to change the baby’s forename. Has anyone gone through the procedure in Scotland and knows how much time does it take? I’m just so upset and can’t relate with the name. I want to change it as quickly as I can.
I then have to travel with my baby to meet my parents and do some necessary rituals but don’t want to end up waiting for weeks or months. Any piece of advice or information would be really helpful.
