Question of the Week: Did you change your name choice when you met your baby?

Our Question of the Week:  Did you make a last minute name change once you met your baby?

Did it happen to you that after months of pondering, discussing, eliminating, perhaps sharing with other berries, you finally narrowed the options down to the name you loved most—and then oops—it just didn’t seem the right fit for your baby when she/he arrived?

Did you have an alternative choice in mind—or a whole list of names in reserve?  Or did you have to go back to Square One?

Did you decide to stay with your original choice,  knowing how much newborns can change?

In any case, have you been happy with your eleventh-hour decision?

Or had you avoided this by waiting until you saw the baby before settling on a name?
