Name regret... π€¦π»ββοΈ
So I'm probably gonna sound like a crazy person, but I figured if anyone would understand it would be you ladies! π
I had such a hard time deciding on our little girl's name while I was pregnant. I loved Ember and Winter as first names, but couldn't decide on a middle name. And I thought Ember and Winter would sound weird together. As time grew closer we had "settled" for Ember Reign and I thought I would be happy with it. Well after she was born it took me 3 days to finally give vital records her name. I just deep down wasn't very sure of it anymore. But decided since its what we chose to just go with it- plus they were starting to get impatient lol π .
Fast forward to getting home from hospital... I couldn't even call my little girl by her name. It just didnt fit for some reason to me. I would call her "baby" or "sweet girl/baby girl". I just couldn't bring myself to call her Ember. And it really started to get me down. I would silently cringe when I heard someone say her name. And I didnt understand why, I loved the name Ember while I was pregnant. I blamed it on some weird postpartum thing.
Now she is a few days away from being 3 months old... I'm finally really happy and love the name Ember... but it was her middle name getting to me I realized. So I said eff it! Its keeping me up at night, I'm going to change it! I just cant do it anymore!
So today I went to vital records and got it changed and omg it feels like so much weight and regret has been lifted off my shoulders. I love her name! SO is slightly worried it doesn't flow well and its too long, but I don't care I absolutely love it! Just so so happy I went with my gut and went and got it changed!
So welcome Ember Winter-Rose Smith π π (I feel so insane that it bothered me so much, but so happy I changed it!)
