[Opinions] Re: Parents: How did you choose a name for your kid?
in reply to a message by KK
There was a name I always liked (it was Charlotte). I had that on my list for my daughter when she was born, and a trendy-ish name with an alt spelling, that had struck me while I was pregnant. I picked the trendy-ish one right after she was born, when I could see her little face. Charlotte just felt kind of too cold and uppity to give to that baby? I dunno. I have no regrets. I would not have really been sorry if I'd used Charlotte. But my daughter is not wistful, she would not rather have been Charlotte.For my son, my husband didn't like any of my top names that I'd liked for a long time. We talked about it for a week before deciding among a handful of names we both thought were decent. Again, no regrets, and any of them would have been fine.- mirfak
