Tricky decision: Many Mamis regret the child's first name

For freshly baked parents it is one of the most difficult first challenges: How should the child be called?



Once the sex of the baby is established, the search for a suitable first name usually starts. Parents discuss and weigh usually months before the child is born and look for the perfect first name, which is then frequently changed in the delivery room but still at short notice.
In 2016, Marie, Elias, Sophie or Alexander were at the forefront of the most popular baby names. But sometimes doubts arise whether it was really the right decision in the end.

Heavy name finding: Ben or Luca?

A survey in the UK Parents Forum 'Mumsnet' has now revealed that many are dissatisfied with the choice of the first name for their baby . 1,362 mothers were asked whether they would give their children the same name again. The result: One in five mother admitted she was regretting her name choice.

What are the reasons for dissatisfaction?

The majority of the mothers surveyed, 25 percent say they regret the name selection, because the name seems too common to them today. Others said that they were influenced by others when they were named.

245 of the mothers, that is, eleven percent said that they "always knew it was the wrong choice". Three percent knew it as soon as the child was born, and eight percent recognized a few days after birth that the first name was not the right choice. 32 per cent in the first six weeks and 23 per cent regretted the nomination by entering the kindergarten or the school. However, only six percent of mothers have been able to change their children's first names later, even though every third has already thought about it.

One of the first great challenges for parents

The choice of the first name is one of the first great choices awaiting fresh-baked parents. The many weighing and researching is a good exercise for the young parents, because there are still so many important decisions on them and their child. In the end, most children grow into their names, so to speak, and all those who are still dissatisfied may be able to avoid a second name or a nickname. In extreme cases, however, an official name change may also be requested.

For beautiful tight legs: The 30 day leg challenge!

Let it burn: With this challenge, every day becomes a leg-day! As soon as the temperatures become summery again and the short pants season is up, the legs move back into the field of view. It means being prepared. Plays with our 30 day leg challenge and tightens your legs. Jumping squats for thighs and buttocks Squats, to German squats, are the absolute must-do for tight thighs and a crispy butt. Obviously, such an exercise must not be missed in a leg challenge, so we have picked out a super-effective variant in which the calves are also addressed. Here's how: Just get up, your feet are about shoulder-width apart. In order to spare your back and keep your upper body in good shape, your belly is taut. Lower your buttocks backwards as if you were going to sit down. Then you jump to the top. You can help with the arms and get some momentum (be careful not to bother your head). If this is too strenuous, or who has knee problems, shoul...

Do what you love!

In reference to the article on Facebook, I wrote that this year I have made it my job to read a book every week and you are the beneficiaries of this project because of my reading, of course, many books on the subject of independence. The first comment that followed on my posting was the demand as I create the time because and if I use apps like  Blinkist  .  For all those who do not know Blinkist: This app is an app that summarizes more than 1,500 technical books in short texts.  For the reading of these texts one does not usually need more than 15 minutes.  You can also listen to them. My answer to the question was: No, I'm not using blinkers, but I actually read the books completely.  For this I mainly use the time before bedtime.  One or two hours are left to me every day, depending on how exciting the book is and whether it is difficult for me to put the book out of my hand. But I also cover waiting times, bus or train rides by reading book...
