has anyone ever thought maybe you should have named your baby another
name. OR were you 100% happy with the one you picked?

I love Chloe, but I also loved Olivia too. and melanie, AND
Victoria...lol....but I stuck with Chloe because I have been calling her
chloe for months now, I could'nt imagine her anyother name, but i did
wonder if I chose the right one, they should give you more
time....lol...

I'm not sorry, i think she even looks like a chloe..;-))))

anyone else?

I've felt kind alike this since Quinn was born. DH and I both liked
Drew and Quinn for boy names so we decided on Quinn and I called him
that from the time I was 22 weeks pregnant with him. But, I still
really like Drew and I wonder sometimes if we made the right decision.
I didn't even think about changing his name while we were at the
hospital but now that I've been home for a couple weeks I've wondered
off and on if we shouldn't have gone with our other choice. *shrug* Oh
well, we still like the name and if we ever have another male child I'm
betting Drew will be his name.

I've been very pleased with the names we picked
out. The only thing I might have changed is the spelling
of Colin's name. With Colin Powell's fame, a lot of
people use that pronunciation, which I don't like very
much. I might have considered Collan or some other
variation that made the preferred pronunciation more
obvious.

Best wishes,
Ericka

I think my children's names fit them. The only things I don't like are DS's
name is too popular (didn't know it at the time) and DD's name is always
mispronounced (should have spelled it with 2 n's).

I'm very happy with Rachel. But, lol, I do think if I have another little
girl in the future Lauren would have made a pretty name for her (that's
Rachel's middle name).

Yes.

I loved Kaylie's name at the time and now it sounds like all the other
trendy "Kaitlyn, Hailey, etc" names. Plus the spelling. Ugh. Everyone spells
it like Kaylee or Kaleigh, you name it. I wish we had at least used her
middle name (Ashlyn) for her first name. But, it does suit her. And out of
our other choices, Hayley, Sarah or Elizabeth I still like Elizabeth.

Noah's name is perfect for him. His middle name too - Patrick. No regrets
there at all. It fits him, he looks like a Noah. I always knew I'd have a
Noah and I did.

Xander's name, well, we didnt know if we were having a boy or girl and
everyone had me convinced I was carrying a girl so I was *sure* it was an
Amelia Grace but nope. We had Julian picked out until he was born and I
changed it last minute. His full name is Alexander Liam and some days I feel
like he's more a Liam than a Xander but who knows...

We're pretty much set on Amelia for a girl next time and for a boy, probably
Tobias.

I'm 100% happy with both names we picked. We sort of knew both names when
I was pregnant the first time around, and it was just a matter of which one
we used first. When I became pregnant the second time, the second name was
at the top of the list but we went through the whole exercise again just to
be sure. We were.

Their names are Eamon Conner and Quinn Malloy. DH had misgivings about
Malloy because Conner honors a member of the family, while Malloy doesn't.
But we went through all the other possible names and kept coming up empty-
handed. I love the way Quinn Malloy sounds together, and I also love how
the name Malloy hasn't really been used much if at all. Sometimes I wish I
had "saved" Malloy in case we have a 3rd child, and the child is male. But
that just seemed like too many ifs to keep ourselves from using it for
Quinn's middle name. :-)
