I regret my baby's name and hate myself for listening to DCUM

[Anonymous]

Blame yourself for using an anonymous web forum to help you determine the name of your child. Seriously, do you think that a bunch of strangers are a good place to look for this kind of thing. Why not just pass around a clipboard at the mall?

I knew someone would say that. Definitely not PPD, happiest I've ever been. Just a feeling of we got everything right..except his name.

See, this right here tells me you're a nut case Absolutely no one thinks they get everything right when it comes to kids.

Wow, some of you posters are assholes.

Um, Leo and Max are traditional names.

And anyone who let's the citizens of DCUMLandia name their kid has issues.

Are you this stupid in real life, OP?

If it still bothers you so much & you think it will continue to, change his name legally. It's not a big deal! (We changed our daughters surname from husband's to both of ours).

Most of the DCUM posters are. Not me.

Change it to Leomax.

Just change it. No big whoop. If you have this much regret this far along in the game, you'll probably never get over it and so you might as well solve the problem now. Your son will be fine!

I didn't think this sounded like OP was blaming DCUM. She took responsibility for the name choice, and warned us not to take DCUM too seriously. As someone who knows what it's like to post in the middle of the night as a hormonal first time pregnant lady (and now a sleep deprived FTM) I welcomed her candor and words of wisdom/experience.

OP, if you really don't like the name, then either give the baby a nickname, or change the baby's name. Either one should solve the problem.

And if you have another child, don't ask DCUM for advice! (Except for me; I give fabulous advice.)

horrible advice

Op: Change it. I wanted to change my DDs name right after she was born ... 18 years later ... would still like to change it. So do it now!
