[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! We are totally in love with our 7 week old baby girl, but my husband and I don’t know what to do about her name. Her sister is [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and we named her [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is one of my favorite names, but for some reason it feels foreign calling her that. My husband wanted to name her [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] “[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]” (which somehow seems to fit her better), but begrudgingly agreed to [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. In fact he’s only been calling her V since birth. Luckily in our state it is easy to change, and I haven’t sent out birth announcements yet (maybe because this has been weighing on me subconsciously). I would love to get an outside opinion. Thanks in advance!!
I know someone who changed their baby’s name. No big deal.
I’m sorry you’re going through the same thing, but at the same time it’s nice to know we aren’t alone! ” I’m sure you will find the perfect name!!
It sounds like you feel like her name is [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. Since it sounds pretty feasible to change the paperwork to correspond with your instincts, I would just go ahead and do it. Good luck!
I think [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] makes a great sister to [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. You could even add [name_f]Violet[/name_f] as a middle name or second middle, so it is still part of her name.
Change it! [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] are both beautiful names, but as a sibset it sounds a tad bit corny. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] are adorable together.
I know, at the hospital I thought it was fine, but as I’m out and about introducing them it’s feeling a little silly sometimes 
If it’s easy to change and you both feel that [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] fits her more I would say to change it!
From personal experience, name regret doesn’t go away. I love my sons name but disliked the spelling we chose. Although, we have many reasons for spelling it the way we did, I wish we would have spelt it the traditional way. Now I feel like it’s to late to change the spelling. So my advice is to always go with your gut.
This happened w my last son. I gave him a name in the hospital but it just didn’t fit. My DH wanted a dif name but allowed me to choose. Like 6 weeks in he told me he didn’t like the name we chose and felt uncomfortable introducing our son by that name. We changed it. Wasn’t really a big deal we announced it and had to correct a few family members for a few months and that’s it. He is 2 now and neither him or out other children are confused about his name.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] is a lovely name but I do find it a little too themey/ cutesy with [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. I’m biased in thinking [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] is the prettiest name you could chose, since its my 4 year old’s name… but seriously, if your hubby and you both agree [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]'s a better fit, go for it!!
Omg, this is exactly why I went onto the forum today. My daughter’s name is [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] and it has never felt right. I may have to do my own post to get advice lol. Bu tI’ve always felt encourage because a friend of mine changed her daughter’s name at 8 months so I know it won’t be the end of the world. Definitely go for it if you feel [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] is right. Try calling her it for a few days and see if it is right.
