These are the baby names parents most regret

A major decision.

Some parents have their baby names planned in advance while others have absolutely no idea until the little one arrives and they have a moment of clarity. However, it seems that whatever name you go with, there's a good chance that you could regret the choice down the line. Not ideal to be fair. New research conducted by Mumsnet surveyed 1,362 people and found that 18% of people wished they had opted for a different baby name. 32% said they regretted choosing their baby's name within the first six weeks of the birth while 23% said it was when their child started preschool that the change of heart came about. Interestingly, one in 50 went on to completely change the baby's name by deed poll. According to The Telegraph, a number of reasons were given for regretting the names given to their children.

"It just doesn’t feel right” - 21% “I have never liked it - I was pressured into using it” (20%.)

Additional reasons included:

“It’s not distinctive enough” “It causes him/her problems with spelling/pronunciation” “It doesn’t suit him/her” “Everyone calls him/her by a shortened version of the name, which I don't like”.

One name that was listed was Elsa with the child's mother regretting her decision to name her daughter after the main character in Disney movie Frozen. Spotted on METRO, these are some of the names on the list: Amelia Alex Anne Anthony Charlotte Daniel David Elsa Emily Frederick Jack Jacob James Jay Jayne Joseph Lily Louise May Megan Oscar Ruby Sally Thomas
