Before I begin: I’m 3 months pp and it’s rough out here so please bear with me:)
I have wonderful 3 month old twins. My husband is Western European, and we live where he’s from. I come from a more eastern country. I haven’t lived in my home country for a very long time and don’t plan to other than the occasional visits. But I am proud of my heritage. Since I’ve struggled with my name for so long I decided I’d like to give my children more international names while making sure they’re easy to understand/pronounce/write in my home country. So that’s exactly what we did. They’re not really names from my husband’s country either but definitely not from mine. Now I have this weird guilt that I can’t get rid of. We did give them my last name as well but still. Has anyone else experienced this? Or the other way around, giving them names from your culture and regretting it?
