Mum admits she regrets agreeing on son's name and feels 'weird' when she says it

A mother who admits she regrets the name her husband picked for their son feels 'weird' every time she says her child's name out loud. The woman said she eventually ended up calling her three-year-old son Cillian when he was born because she couldn't come to an agreement with her partner on a name.

She has now confessed however she regretted the name the year after he was born but was never able to bring herself to officially change it, Wales Online reports. The mum says although she 'adores' her little boy it feels strange saying his name when she introduces her son to people and she is upset she hasn't been able to use one of her favourite names for her own child.

Taking to Mumsnet, the anonymous author explained: “We couldn’t agree on names, and I ended up agreeing to my husband’s favourite straight after a c-section. I had so much regret the year after he was born but could never quite bring myself to change it.
