My husband and I struggled to choose a name.<BR><br \/>\n&#8220;We both had a favourite the other didn&#8217;t like &#8211; mine was Ottilie and his Aubrey. Etta was our compromise name, but he soon went off it after birth. He mentioned Sigrid and I thought I liked it and agreed.<BR><br \/>\n&#8220;Now I&#8217;m worried she will get bullied for it sounding like cigarette. My husband loves the nickname Ziggy or Siggy. Could Sisi work (pronounced Ceecee?)<BR><br \/>\n&#8220;Also, we&#8217;re not Scandinavian, although we both look it and my husband has Danish heritage a couple of generations back.&#8221;<BR><br \/>\nShe has since fallen in love with the name Beatrix, and her husband might &#8220;be willing&#8221; to think about the name change to prevent any potential bullying.<BR><br \/>\nHowever, others have reassured the couple that the original name is just fine.<BR><br \/>\nOne commenter said: &#8220;I think it&#8217;s a really cool name. I would not worry about her getting teased. I didn&#8217;t even remotely make that connection or any other bad ones. I don&#8217;t think children will.&#8221;<BR><br \/>\nAnd another added: &#8220;You&#8217;re only a week into postpartum. It&#8217;s natural to be a bit panicked in general.<BR><br \/>\n&#8220;Give yourself time to settle in before you think about changing something as big as her name. See if it starts to settle in and feel more familiar.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/bangbizarre.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Visit Bang Bizarre (main website) <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><script src=\"https:\/\/geo.dailymotion.com\/player\/xtbac.js\" data-video=\"\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2026-04-13 11:02:44 A new mother is worried after accidentally giving her daughter a very awkward slang nickname.
