Regretting name

Every now and then I get overwhelmed with the feeling of regret over DD name. We named her Annabelle and I do really like that name. I just can't shake that feeling that we should have named her something else I think it is that some people call her Anna and I really didn't want that to happen. I blame pregnancy hormones that I didn't think of that before she was born. I know there isn't anything I can do about it just need to get over this feeling I guess. Oh how I wish there was a time machine to take me back 7 months =)

Thanks for the vent.

Ditto that...my son has 4 letters and one syllable and he still gets all sorts of nicknames and we don't object to most of them, but I did put my foot down when his grandma called him "Penny." I just suggested that maybe that wasn't a good idea...

If you want her to be called Annabelle, correct people when they take it upon themselves to shorten it.
