Am I normal? I want to change my baby's name.

I’ve changed my mind about one of the biggest decisions I’ve ever made. Is it way too late?

It took my husband and I forever to pick a baby name. And now, with our beautiful baby girl celebrating her four-month birthday… I really really hate it.

I have always wanted kids. Ever since I can remember. So I have been thinking about baby names for a very, very long time. However, all those years and all those names were thrown out during the 9 months I was pregnant. I wanted something really original. I didn’t want my baby having the same name as everyone in the class. I hated that when I was little.

So it wasn’t until the very end of pregnancy that my husband and I finally decided on a girl’s name and a boy’s name (we didn’t know the gender of our baby). This is probably where we went wrong.

When I took my little baby girl out in those first few weeks, people would bend down and coo at her. Asking what her name was. When I told them, their facial expression made me like her name even less. And more than often, I would have to repeat her original name a few times before they understood it.

At Medicare, the lady behind the counter read the forms I handed in. She checked about six times whether I had spelt my baby's name correctly. That made me like her name even less.

But the tipping point came when my friend came over for morning tea the other day. She brought her adorable little 4-year-old daughter with her who I had heard, via text messages, was absolutely ecstatic to see my baby.

She bounced in and took one look at my sleeping girl. She asked what her name was and I told her - "Alaia".

She giggled as only 4-year-olds do. And said, "Just like Liar, Liar, your pants are on fire!" And giggled some more.

I didn't giggle. In that moment, I realised that in all my years of picking out the perfect name, I never took into consideration what happens to a name on the playground.

I have to change her name. I don't know anyone who's ever done it, but I've Googled, and people do. I have spoken to my husband and he thinks I am being ridiculous.

But she doesn't look like an Alaia to me. And she is definitely not a liar.

Is it really too late to change her name? I really, really like Kenzie.
