When selecting a name for the baby, parents hope that it will be nothing less than perfect. According to babycenter.com, thirty-five percent of parents expressed that choosing a name was one of the best parts of pregnancy. What’s more, although they found it enjoyable, they also felt it was a challenge. A new study has revealed that parents are claiming to have made a “terrible mistake” in naming their babies - a very bold yet common declaration.

The study’s author SJ Strum, explains that choosing a baby’s name is one of the most important parts of becoming a parent. Pamela Redmond Satran, co-founder and CEO of baby naming site Nameberry.com adds, “People are working a lot harder to come up with a name that is really distinctive and has a lot of personal meaning.” According to Fox News, the study’s powerful reveal indicates that one in seven moms and dads regret their choice. More pointedly, when a name is not esteemed as unique - the remorse is even more poignant.

In a study of 2000 parents by Channel Mum, once a name choice spiked in popularity one in five began to dislike their child’s name. One in ten parents felt resentment after a celebrity chose the identical name for their offspring. They also discovered that one in three people in an attempt to attach an exclusive name to their child were discontent to upon realizing that dozens of others had also chosen the same name.

The effects were so profound for some, that 20 of the parents in the study ardently began addressing their child with an entirely different name than that printed on their birth certificate and fourteen percent considered a legal change in name.

SJ Strum (notably the baby name expert) compiled an extensive list of names parents contended they rule out. Famous connections played a paramount role in name selection - for example, Cheryl and Liam Payne’s son, Bear, and David and Victoria’s Beckham’s daughter, Harper, Coleen and Wayne Rooney’s son, Kai, and, of course, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s daughter, Shiloh, also made the pervasive index. Also featured, the names of Kourtney Kardashian’s children, Penelope and Mason, as well as all of Kate Middleton and Prince William’s children, Charlotte, Louis and George. Overall, mothers had no desire to have any celebrity affiliation of famous children or their parents.

Ironically, the trending names seem to be the very titles parents are relentlessly avoiding. Those who were not so diligent in their choices are living with a decision that will not only affect them as parents but their children and the impact on their lives well into adulthood.

Live Science shares, "There is a reason why baby name books are extremely popular," said David Figlio of Northwestern University in Illinois. "We're always trying to think about the first bit of a child's identity and so if we as a society pay a lot of attention to names it makes a lot of sense that people's names might influence how they think about themselves and the way in which people might think about them."
