Yes as a matter of fact I do. I wish I would of stuck to what I wanted instead of his Dad adding in the middle name. Of Lee that is his Dad's name who ran off on him one year later. So I wished it would of been John or Jon instead of Lee. Your friend Onlydia.

No it took me forever to think of the perfect name when I chose my childrens name and I would never consider changing them and I believe they all like the names they have ... so far :) My sons name is origianlly a boys name from many years ago but because of the times almost any boys name is now being used by a girl and those that he knows with the same name are all girls . My daughters name is one that some consider a boys name but to me it is way to girly for a boy . Often when I go to the pharmacy they mix up the names and they call my son a girl when reading out the name and when they say my daughters name they always assume she is a boy . It is so hard with names nowadays because everyone has there own idea of what they like and what they don't and what was once a boys name is now a girls name or a unisex name . If it really bothers you , the name you have chosen , then you should look into changing it , if you feel that this is going to bother him or wait until he is older and see what he thinks of his name . It is possible that he likes his name even though it is girls that share the same name . I know my son likes his name and doesn't care if the girls that go to school with him share the same name .

No... i love the name that my husband and i chose for our daughter... it is very beautiful and unique... and it suits her really well... her name means "Beautiful Voice"... and right now i can see that even if she is only two years old... she is already musically inclined... give her a microphone and she will sing her heart out...

Hello mattcassethan I do have a son I wished I could change the name. I too love his name, well when it is shortened it's his full length name I am not so keen on.
