Is this okay?

I had decided on a name for my soon-to-be daughter, and now I sit here nearly 39 weeks... and I have a very strong feeling that I am going to change my mind when she is born. I feel like I'll know for sure when I see her, but my mom is making me feel really badly for even considering changing the middle name.

Is it okay to change the baby's name when they're born from the name you "decided" on prior to that? Even if you told EVERYONE?

Who cares if you got an embroidered gift? Would you let that person's choice of gift dictate the naming of YOUR child? You are the parent...pick something that fits you and your child, not what others like.

then you can point to the embroidered gift and tell the child the story -- just like my little brother's piggy bank. It has the wrong birth date on it. The lovely lady who hand made it put his due date, 3 days before he actually made it into the world. But did we change his birthday just to please this lady? Please! Actually, I don't even know who that gal was --- it was 24 years ago ----
