Naming Regret: When Your Child’s Name Doesn’t Feel Right

Have you ever chosen a name for your child, only to realize later that it just didn’t feel right? I remember sitting in the hospital, holding my newborn, and feeling a strange disconnect with the name we’d picked. It wasn’t that I disliked it, but it didn’t spark the joy I’d hoped for. We’d spent months debating, trying to honor family traditions and find something unique, but in the end, I felt pressured to decide. Sometimes, I wonder how different things might feel if we’d waited a little longer or trusted our instincts more. Has anyone else experienced this kind of naming regret?
