I don't regret any of my kids names - I think they suit them to a tee. But a mum at school recently told me that she wished she hadn't called her second DS Riley - seems she preferred the name Oliver when she was pg, but a relative or friend had a baby called that, so they went with Riley. And when I was in hospital after having Matilda, the mum across from me in the room, who was told after her ultrasound that she was having a girl, was surprised when she had a baby boy and had to think of a name. For the first day he was Seth, then she decided that it didn't suit him so she changed it to Boden. I had to agree with her - he did suit Boden more. But it shows that we are lucky to be given plenty of time to fill out the birth certificate form.
