But then, after she yelled at me, asked me why on earth did I name her Ashley, that it was a dumb name

I told her that Ashley is a pretty name but she is still mad at me

UGGG...... I'm sooo confused

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: I hated my name too for a while. Because it is spelled like boys spell it. Sorry, it will get better.

six_kids_at_28 replied: I'm praying it will...she just passed by and said..Oh, Mommy...CINDERELLA is going outside......

Oh, well....maybe this is making up for the terrible twos that she never went through

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Remind her of all the chores Cinderella had to do.

Thank you

PrairieMom replied: I didn't like my name until High school. I think it is a pretty normal thing. Cinderella is a pretty name. I say go with it. She'll get over it soon! (hopefully)
I like the Name Aurora ( sleeping beauty) I wanted to name our little girl Aurora Dawn if we have one, but my hubby forbid me!

Debra replied: I have always hated my first name. Love my middle name (Storm) just can't stand the first! I always got the "Little Debbie Snack Cakes" & "Debbie Does Dallas" jokes growing up.

Could she maybe want a name change because someone is picking on her? Or maybe made a comment about her name?

When I was growing up, I always "changed" my name when someone made a snide comment.

Maybe I'm thinking too much into Ashley's behaviour but I am basing that on my experience.

And I agree that Ashley is a BEAUTIFUL Name! I hope she outgrows this phase soon!
