[quote=Anonymous]I regret the order of my kid’s names. We picked a very common classic name (in last 50 years, top 20 and many years top 10) that was on both sides of our families. And a very unusual (not top 1000 until the past 2 years and still in the 700’s) but easy to pronounce ethnic name from my family. We both agreed to call him by the ethnic name. Since we were going to call him ethic name, I wanted Ethnic Classic Last. But DH was worried that as he got older he would hate the ethnic name and how unusual it is. So he wanted Classic Ethnic Last.

We fought for months. And reasons were logical (make life easier) his were emotional (he had a nickname (not related to his name at all) growing up that he HATED and was glad to be able to use his classic first name). So I caved.

I hate having to correct people all the time. I hate that when I’m waiting and his name is called I don’t react to it until they’ve said it 4-5 times. If DH would let me, I’d totally legally change the order of his name. [/quote]
