'My daughter is 6 weeks old – but hubby wants to change her name for ridiculous reason'

It's universally recognised that once you've named your little one, there's no going back. However, one woman's husband was trying to convince his wife to change their daughter's name once she was six weeks old. The mum explained that he'd "suddenly" completely changed his mind about her name and had slated it for "being too popular," and he was worried that there would be five girls in her class with the same name.
The woman said she was going to refer to the name as 'Amelia' throughout the post, and her husband also didn't like the nickname he assumed she'd be given. But she was blindsided by it, as it had taken him over a month to come to this conclusion. Taking to Mumsnet, she wanted to get other people's opinions on the situation. She shared that there had been "months of back and forth" when it came to choosing a name, so she was relieved when they finally agreed on Amelia.
"He said he liked Amelia when I was in labour," she shared, but now he was trying to get her to rename their baby Ottilie, but she said she thought it was "too try hard". She wrote: "I’ve said it’s ridiculous to change her name now, as she’s already had her birth registered, and we’ve told everyone what her name is. My mum is already using personalised bibs with her name on them, for f**ks sake.
