Mother Wants To Change 4-Year Old Daughter’s Name Because It Is Too Common
One mom says her 4-year-old daughter’s name isn’t as unique as she thought, so now she’s considering legally changing it.
She isn’t alone; a surprising number of parents regret the name they gave their child.
According to the website Baby Center, nearly 1-in-10 parents say they would pick something different if they could.
A mom in England now wishes she didn’t name her 4-year-old daughter EsmΓ©e.
She wrote in a web post that she picked it because her father is French and she hadn’t heard of a girl with that name in 20 years.
But now her child is set to start school with two other girls also named EsmΓ©e, just spelled differently.
The mom wrote anonymously on the parenting site MumsNet, “Am I being unreasonable to change my darling daughter’s name before September?
I love her name, but hate it’s so common now. Maybe an overreaction, but in the 1970’s I was one of five named the same in my class and vowed never to have my children live with the same.”
