If you could, would you change your children's names?

Do you like the name you gave your kids? If you could go back to when you gave birth to your kids, knowing what you know now about your kids, would you give them a different name? What are your kid's names?


Do they like the names you gave them?


Just wondering, please no rude answers!


Thanks!!

If you could, would you change your children's names?
i wouldn't because even now at such a young age i see them grow more into their names each day. But saying that when my 3rd child was born i never quite thought that he looked like a Jude although i loved the name it didn't seem perfect to me like the other kids' names were to them but in a couple months time and his personality starting coming out I could have never pictured a better name for him.





My kids are :


Lucy August


Sebastian Ripley


Jude Michael River


Bishop Oliver goes by Oliver though


and I'm currently pregnant with another one which the name is undecided.





I the only real regret that i sometimes have is with my youngest son Bishop Oliver, it is more on the unique side of names and there is always that fear of him being teased and then he always has to say that he wants to go by Oliver instead so yeah sometimes i do wish we named him Oliver Bishop or he would have a different middle name. Truly though Bishop was a name that meant a lot to my husbands side of the family and I'm happy was able to give this to them. Over all now i still wouldn't change his name and i hope when he grows up he loves it for the meaning it had to his dad. Plus i couldn't imagine naming him something else he looks so much like a Bishop Oliver its incredible.





With the other kids' names i think we did an pretty awesome job. They all sound good with our last name and will age with them very well. My husband likes unique more different names so we gave them to it as middle names. I don't think it will cause that much of a problem to them in life later on so I'm very happy with the names i chose for them, they all have meaning to us.
Reply:Knowing what I know now about life - yes, I would absolutely change their names. I gave my oldest son a "unique" name. Totally wish I didn't now. My youngest has a slightly different name, but not as much as my older one. People really have no idea what they are setting their kids up for in the real world as adults when they give them these "unique" names. I hope they are able to use their middle names if they should have trouble with their first - later on down the road in a professional sense.





I think quite a bit different at 30 now than I did at 20.
Reply:I have four girls, a set of twins, both 5, and two girls, 3 and 9. Their names are Jainalee Nichole Elle, Nicolette Marie Elle (the twins), Ashley Emma Lynn and Macy Lee Alice. I love all of their names. Maybe I would change Macy's middle name to Mae or Jade. I have a friend who was drunk when she picked out her names, she picked out Edna Louise and Edison Lee (She had twins), her daughter wants her name changed to Isalynn. Her son wants his changed to James. They absolutely HATE their names, so the girl goes by Ellie and the boy goes by Jack (I have no idea where he got that.) She has legally changed the kids names to Isabella and Issac and they are now happy. The girl goes by Izzy and the boy goes by Issac. My kids, Janie, Nikki, Ashley and Macy, want to change their names, except Ashley, who just turned 3 and barely even knows her name. Janie wants her name to be Rainbow Sunshine, Nikki wants hers to be Kitty Smiles and Macy wants hers to be Marie Claire. My other friend, Ashley (I named Ashley after her), named her five kids, (four girls and a boy), Alex Lee, Emma Riley, Elle Jade, Rachel Rae and lastly Samantha Alexandra. Her kids love their names, except Samantha who wants her name to be shorter. Just to annoy her mom she wants her name to be Flo or An.
Reply:I would not change anything. Ok maybe I would have went ahead and gave my son 2 middle names like I did my girls. My babies names are Autumn Jessalynn Faith- her dad picked out Autumn, and now that she has gotten older it is perfect for her she looks like the perfect description of a child in autumn.Jessalynn came from my mother and sister's name, adn Faith is something Ichose beacuse I was told several times that I would not be able to have children and faith is what brought her to us. My middle chil's name is Abagail Misty Renae. I have always loved athe name Abagail so I knew she would have to have that name, plus I wanted to keep the whole A thing. Misty is from a great friend of mine that was killed while I was pregnant with her so I knew that was a must, and Renae is from my sister. This way both of my girls are named after their aunt.*I also chose to spell her first name a lil different! My son is named Jaycob Elijah, spelled different again. I wanted to somehow add my husband's brother's name in my son's name but my husband wouldn't go for it. I felt as if my girls were named after their aunt it would only be fair for him to be named after his uncle. Jaycob was chose beacse my husband's name is James, and he is the 3rd, so I couldn't use it, and it means the same thing, adn Elijah is from an uncle of his that was very important to him and had passed away!So their you go my babies names and why. Do you have children?
Reply:My son's name is Maddox Michael and his nickname is Max, and no i wouldn't change his name for anything lol, it suits him perfectly.


Yea i think he does like his name, esp. his nickname Max (which he loves to say lol), but not sure if he likes Maddox, but he is only 9 months old lol, so it may be awhile til i know for sure what he thinks, although he is super smart for his age.


Hope this helps, :D.
Reply:I named my daughter Kyra Elise Isobella Sounds funny until you say the lastname and it all fits together just right but ill leave that off here. I love the name isobella and wanted that to be her first name. my husband didnt cause he thought id call her izzy... (i woulda) and so i tossed that in and we came to Kyra and Elise.. two names we both really like.. i love her name its beautiful to me and she is a beautiful girl.. mean though lol i wouldnt change it for the world! shes only 4 months shy of 2 though so as of now.. i think she likes her name lol she calls herself Ky Ky. If anything i would have spelled her name better.... someonething more unique... like... Kighra ... her name is NOT KEER -a... most think it is and its KY .. like... Ky-le.. Or Ky-lee... or Ky Rah.. lol
Reply:My daughter is called Marlowe. She was named after Christopher Marlowe...and because I wanted a little girl I could call Lo. I still love her name, but sometimes I regret it. People look at me funny and go "That's an interesting name" when I introduce her. She doesn't seem to mind, although a little boy in her preschool class has taken to calling her marshmarlowe. I don't know. I'm not sure I would change it.
Reply:...my children...Michelledion and Michaeltravis...still have their birth names after...30 years...although one of them changed it slighlty and the girl's name....the ending may change with marriage but, I have always liked them and never wanted to change them
Reply:Gary Dean and Thomas Brian......When I had them just about everyone used traditional names. If I had them now I would name them something different but not back then. They never said anything about their names one way or the other so I guess it's fine w/them.
Reply:I think instead of naming my daughter Merry Kay I would have gone with Meredeth Kathrine I do not know why but I do like the double letters in her name it became a tradition
Reply:My daughter's name is Zo毛 Ryan


I would NEVER change it :o)


I do however hate how popular Zo毛 is getting. But if you see my daughter's spelling is more unique..so at least I have that!
Reply:i have no kids
