‘I suck at naming girls’ This mum changed her baby’s name 3 times

Naming a baby is incredibly tough, something this mum-of-two knows about all too well.

In fact, Sophie Cachia’s daughter has been given three names since her birth… and Sophia is still not happy with her decision.

The Young Mummy blogger recently took to Instagram to share her baby naming woes, describing her experience as “one gigantic clusterf*ck of f*ckups.”

Talking about her love of Audrey Hepburn, Sophie explains how growing up she was convinced she was going to name her future daughter after her idol.

“I even begged Jaryd (husband) in labour with Bobby to change our Valentina/Florence to Audrey at the last minute if a girl came out,” she wrote.

“Funnily enough, I had a girl and Audrey was never in the equation this time.”

But Betty was.

 

FACT: my entire life I loved Audrey. I had artwork & posters of her on my walls at home. I was ALWAYS convinced I was going to call my future daughter Audrey. I even begged Jaryd in labour with Bobby to change our Valentina/Florence to Audrey at the last minute if a girl came out. Funnily enough, I had a girl and Audrey was never in the equation this time. Betty was, then that was wrong. Missy lasted 48 hours, and then she ended Florence Margaret but Margaret was only supposed to be the middle name if she was called Betty, and Florence was always supposed to be Florence Gigi after Jaryd's sister. But I totally fucked the whole thing up and now my experience with naming a girl is one gigantic clusterfuck of fuckups. So now LEGALLY she's Florence Margaret but we call her Florence Gigi (ESPECIALLY now since she's her Aunty Gigi's mini-twin!!!) So yeah… basically I suck at naming girls.

However, this name didn’t last very long, and soon Betty became Missy… but just for 48 hours.

“Betty was, then that was wrong. Missy lasted 48 hours, and then she ended Florence Margaret but Margaret was only supposed to be the middle name if she was called Betty, and Florence was always supposed to be Florence Gigi after Jaryd's sister.”

Confused? Us too.

Continuing, the mum wrote: “But I totally f*cked the whole thing up and now my experience with naming a girl is one gigantic clusterf*ck of f*ckups.

“So now LEGALLY she's Florence Margaret but we call her Florence Gigi (ESPECIALLY now since she's her Aunty Gigi's mini-twin!!!) So yeah… basically I suck at naming girls.”

OK, all we're hoping is that we can make our minds up when the time comes!
