    I was chatting to a friend and she admitted she often regrets the name she gave her baby. We had a laugh about it but was just wondering if anyone else ever felt the same? How late is too late to change the name?

    I know a woman in the UK who changed her son's name when he was around 1. She is a bit of a looper in fairness but can be done!

    You can always just call them by their middle name.

    I think she would have to change it by deed poll at this stage? I doubt she can change the birth cert, but maybe that’s wrong!
    If she prefers the middle name, she could use that. If she has two examples of use of the middle name then she could put that on passport, but his original name would still be linked to his pps no. My little guy goes by his middle name, that’s what we have on his passport

    When it came to naming our son, we ever thought of it as naming a baby. Some things sound nice for a kid when small, my opinion would be to leave that to nicknames.

    That was definitely something we thought of. There are a lot of really cute names out there, but you couldn't really see the CEO of a multinational being called them.
