Changing baby's name after birth

Motorsheen

So my wife and I were having twin boys and we just couldn't decide on names.

it was time to give birth and my wife was pretty frustrated that we couldn't settle on two names.

Finally, as she was going into labor, she said: "Name them whatever you want and make sure that they are Biblical names; They Have To Be Biblical Names."

I agreed.

We had two healthy baby boys named: Barabbas & Pontius Pilate


yeah...... feel free to change the kid's name.

I would just change it if it's a name you also like. I know several kids who have had their name changed at a much older age and it was fine for those around them to adapt.

I'm changing my full name to: Hugh Mongus

Here's a random question for you internet friends. What would you do if your spouse wanted to change your 9 month old's name?

Backstory: You both agreed to a name, then you decided to change it last minute. Spouse wasn't happy, but went along. Neither of you necessarily love the given name, but you are now used to baby having that name. Spouse would still like it changed to the original name.

Would you change it, tell spouse to suck it up, find another compromise?

My husband has been called his middle name from day one. He was confused around middle school age about it, but now we know when someone calls who doesn't really know him because they ask for him by his first name. His parents are strange people and never really had a good answer as to why this took place...you better have an answer for your kiddo!
