How to love not just like your baby name choice?
Hi folks - anyone have a baby name they really like but are still not in love with it? But now youve used it enough so no other name is sticking, or just feels weird?
I'm hoping when I see his little face in 5 weeks then it'll all come together and I'll love the name 🙏🏼💙

I wanted to a different name for my little boy but my partner had his heart set on one and I liked it but didn't love it. Now I cant imagine him being called anything else
Hope this helps x
My experience is that they grow into their names :) it's ok to just like it you'll love it when they grow into it it really becomes their own
Honestly, my LO’s first name is so popular and generic but it flowed nicely with his middle name. By age 18months or so he demanded we call him by his middle name (the one I prefer) and here we are 😂
When I named my daughter everyone has doubts about it because I named her after my spouse and myself, now I can’t imagine a better name for her I’m happy I chose it myself x
I chose one that had some historical context and value for us. And the more she grows, the more I believe she personifies the name. It's cool to have some history behind it that I can tell her about one day.
Yes my 2nd son I wasn’t in love with the name but there was no other name that felt right that my husband and I could agree on. We had a short list and said we would decided when we see him and as soon as he was born we went with the name we had been calling him. Now that he’s here I’m in love with the name.
We just went with the name we both liked/could agree on.
I chose my daughters name when I was like 12 weeks pregnant with her (I had a boy name option too at this point). Then from about 36 weeks pregnant to 2 months postpartum, I hated the name. I was convinced I’d made the wrong choice and she didn’t suit her name.
Now I love it, and that is most definitely her name in every way. Not sure if she grew into it, if it grew on me, or if I was just having a moment lol xx
I really like my daughter’s name and it suits her- Emilia. But I still always think of other names I could have given her and I think it’s because I never loved it so much that it was the only one. I like it, but I like other names too. Obviously wouldn’t change it now but I drive myself mad thinking of alternative names for her 🫣
I definitely feel this way currently. I’ve had so many names over the years that I love, but my partner doesn’t. So it’s been really hard finding names we both like, and just when I thought we had it decided, now I’m second guessing myself. And due in 4 weeks 😅
