It seems like names are very fashionable, and fashions change. Do any of you regret a choice and why??

I do regret my three-year-old son's name. I named him Aidan, and didn't have any idea how popular it had become. I still think it's a great name, it's just annoying that there are always four other little boys with the same name. When I had my daughter, I made sure I chose a name that's not even in the top 100, Ariel.

Leif would be okay if it weren't for the fact that Leif Erickson is the VERY well known viking who discovered the Americas, it would be like naming your kid Christopher when your last name is Columbus. And I think I only approve of the spelling Keiyl if it's to honor someone, but I still think you could still spell it Kyle and honor your nephew. To be perfectly honest, Brettlynn is a very typical sounding name of a young couple, it's a very common trend to tag "lyn" to the end of a random name, and in this case, Brett is a boy name, another popular trend (feminizing boy's names for girls). It sounds very made up and that doesn't sound too classy or sophisticated for when she's an adult woman. Amy Rose is lovely though.

I regret the name I was given. My first name is J, that's it nothing more than one letter. It is a pain in the but and I have had to redo many different paper work over do to people miss spelling my name. I have been refused from a bank to cash a check because someone put a period after my letter name. The bank stated the period meant that the letter became an abbreviation for a name so technically it was not my name.

Nope. When my husband and I found out I was pregnant we decided on a name for a boy and one for a girl...we had them picked out within a week. We never talked about it after that...no temptation to change either name. I think one thing that also helped us NOT to change our minds on names was the fact that we didn't tell a soul the names we had picked. We didn't want to hear other people tell us that they hated our names. It drove everyone around us crazy not knowing what we had picked and it was kinda fun keeping everyone in suspense like that. We never even told anyone the sex of the baby...we told them we didn't know...but we did!!
We had picked Olivia Rhiannon and Jacob Elliot. We had a boy and did use the name Jacob Elliot. We still love our girl choice and will use it if we have a girl in the future.

Those who regret their baby's name choice are those people who named their babies for the purpose of just naming them for the purpose of identification. What is best is you think over why you had given your baby that name... A name is very important especially when it suits the baby's overall and outstanding qualities and personality.

Nope, I dont. I stuck with more traditional names for both boys. William Ryan, and Wendal Rodney Joe. All of those names are the names of family members I love and respect.. Kinda hard to regret that.

I have not had my baby yet, or know the sex. But I love the sets of names my husband and I picked. Even if it gets too popular, I still love the names. We chose these names very carefully. We made sure the backgrounds of these names were of strong biblical people. Not of just anyone. Making their name special in more ways than one.

I definitely don't regret the names of my kids. I have a Meagan Shea - 18 and a Jacob Royal - 15 (Royal is his dad's first & G-pa's middle). Now that I'm a little older, I think I might have went a little more traditional with my daughter's name, but I still love it & it really does fit her.

The only thing I regret is not asking my in- laws how to spell my sons middle name(it was his Grandfathers name and a family name).
I asked my husband a hundred times if he had the spelling correct and it was not until a month later that we found out it was misspelled. His name is still beautiful though Julian Levitt (Leavitt)
It is pronounced like the word levy not leave.

No. We named her Aurelia - I wanted an authentic but not popular name. Definitely nothing considered to be fashionable or the fad of the times.
There are always names that hint at someone's generation - Jennifer and Jessica (80's), Linda/Sandy/Peggy (50's, 60's).
Although our families hated the name originally, and thought she could never learn to say it, it's grown on everyone and fits her personality perfectly
