I want to change my son's name. *vent*

When I got pregnant, I had a name picked out already, but didn't tell SO.  I wanted to name him Gage Ki & call him Ki.  He comes up with this name, Joseph Blaine, going by Blaine, (DS is the 4th Joseph in a row of the family) out of no where though & told his whole family & they all loved it.  We ended up naming our DS that because it's not a bad name.  SD comes over this weekend and says "You stole my mommy's name."  I said "What?"  & she said "My name was going to name me Blaine if I was a boy."  I asked SO about it & he said "Don't worry about it, he's Blaine now."  WTF?!  You made me name our child the name your ex-wife had picked out?  Jesus.  It just makes me sick to my stomach for some reason.  I never in a million years would've picked to name my son Joseph Blaine, or anything close.  Ugh.  I want change what we call him, but he's almost a year old.  I want to call him Ki.  It has nothing to do with his name though. =\  I just feel like poo.

Holy crap! I am so sorry but I think some how you're going to have to accept it, it's a little late now. That would totally put me over the edge....

It's pretty shitty, I think.  If I would've known this in the beginning I would've said hell f'ing no.  & I wish I would've just stayed with the name I wanted.

I don't want to legally change it, I don't suppose.  Everyone in the family loves his name.  I just would like him to go by Ki, which I love & have forever.  I don't even know how to go about it.

I never thought to ask what SD's name would be if a boy.  I/We never picked out a girl name.  If he had came out a girl  he wouldn't have a name.  I have a boy & girl name picked out now.  Lol.
