""I've had people reach out about name regret with children up to 6 years old," baby name consultant Colleen Slagen tells TODAY.com."
""Now I've had so many success stories of people who've actually gone through with a name change and have been so happy with it," she says."
""I think it's something that happens more often now than it did a generation ago," Pamela Redmond, co-founder of Nameberry.com, told TODAY.com in a previous interview. "Parents care a lot more and think a lot more about names now than they did back then, and agonize a lot more about names than they did say in the mid-'80s.""
""We spent most of the pregnancy planning, whether it was a boy or a girl, to call the baby Calihan," explains Wherry."
