I have been trying to get over it but it is eating me up alive.<BR/>My daughter will be 12 months in 3 weeks! Is it still an option?<BR/>I live in NY (Long Island). Can anyone give me any advice or shortcuts to get this done?<BR/>I named her Jenna which is cute but it just seems so wrong. The name Abigail has been on my mind for months!<BR/>Can I still do this? Is it fair to her 3 year old brother who loves her name?<BR/>Please help! Quickly?<BR/>Thank you!Dana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17558908860045465500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940227370112378709.post-8768102278563478002008-04-16T10:45:00.000-04:002008-04-16T10:45:00.000-04:00I had no choice with my first son's name.

The new one looks exactly like the old one, except for a tiny line at the bottom of the certificate that notes the name has been changed.<BR/><BR/>It is somewhat of a process to change everything over. But well worth it.

Depending on what state you live in will depend on the process, but it's not that difficult. Follow your heart, and move forward preparing yourself that yes, some may think you're crazy, but "this too shall pass, and your peace and happiness in the long run is what's most important.<BR/>Good luck with your decision--you're the only one that knows if it's right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940227370112378709.post-42463783781673286362007-11-09T17:20:00.000-05:002007-11-09T17:20:00.000-05:00We recently made the same decision for our daughte...We recently made the same decision for our daughter. It has been a very painful process as people have had a hard time making sense of it, and we have received some negative reactions. Despite how difficult it has been at times we don't regret the decision. You have to do what feels right in your heart. We would rather live with a little criticism than a lifetime of regret. <BR/>Peace~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940227370112378709.post-76683764660212511502007-11-07T00:01:00.000-05:002007-11-07T00:01:00.000-05:00Hi there,I am desperate - we called our beautiful ...Hi there,<BR/><BR/>I am desperate - we called our beautiful Baby Boy Heaken and we both loved the name.

My daughter Claira is almost 4 months old. I still haven't connected with her name and to my horror, my friend told me the other day that her name reminded of a show from the 40's/50's which featured a cow or a clown. Since she has been born, I have heard the name Chloe and have totally fallen in love with it. My husband gets very upset when I mention possibly changing our daughter's name. He says it is what is is and end of story. I think mostly of my daughter taking this name for the rest of her life and whether she will like it as well. I have been told it is old fashioned but pretty. I'm curious what others think. silgurlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940227370112378709.post-36954691762457087572007-11-02T09:25:00.000-04:002007-11-02T09:25:00.000-04:00That's so great!

But I have to say that I have thought about it very much. Was the process difficult? I love both names you gave your daughter by the way. It's funny how you just know when the name is right isn't it? With my first daughter, Loki, it took a while to find a name we both liked. But, I had Stella's name picked out before I was even pregnant!<BR/><BR/>Oh, by the way, I tagged you. Should you choose to except my tag, and I hope you do =), please blog 7 random things about you and then tag 7 people. I strayed from the norm a bit and only tagged 3 people. I just felt 7 was too many people to tag so if you only want to tag a coupla people that's fine.LunaNikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981677669711596784noreply@blogger.com
