No regrets, I had enough sense to give my children reasonable names that people can pronounce.

    Naming a child is such a challenge and one I've been struggling with for several weeks now. My daughter was born in January and we've yet to finalize a name for her. My husband has one he loves, but I just don't feel like it is the right name for her. He isn't crazy about the "girlie" names I pick and so we're stuck. We're trying to prevent regret, but in the meantime our baby girl doesn't have an official name and I'm afraid that one of us is going to have to give in and accept a name we're not crazy about.
