Name decision

Has anyone else experienced concern after announcing their baby's name? I'm starting to worry about our decision as we notice more and more that people are pronouncing it wrong, and it's starting to get to me. I'm only day 3 post natal so perhaps it's just an emotional time. I do love our son's name but it's just getting me down slightly.

You don't have to register baby until 6 weeks so maybe take a few weeks to trial the name and see how you feel?

I did consider that but we've told most friends and family his name now, feel like I can't really go back on that now? X

What’s his name? X

I love my son’s name however people have already started to shorten it and I hate it even when I’ve told people that’s not his name there still doing it. I’m 5 days post partum and Its definitely just because my emotions are all over to why it bothers me so much and there’s been a few times where I’ve thought should I change it. If you love the name tho don’t change it just because of other people, but give yourself enough time to think about it so you make the right decision x

If you still love the name then don’t let others influence your choice. The more they hear the name the better and they will have to pronounce it correctly! Don’t be afraid to correct them

You can always change his name but you can tell people how to pronounce and those daily in your life will soon get it xx

My daughter is called Yasmeen (Yas-meen) and I deliberately spelt it that way so people would pronounce it that way and the amount of people who say “yas-min” or “yaz-min” or “yaz-meen” drives me mad! You just have to keep telling them and eventually they get it
