So I guess “whirl” is out.

Look, if this is distressing to you, just try explaining it again to your daughter and find a new name together.

My cat was named Talia when I got her (a name I have bad associations with). It took about a week, maybe two at most, for her to understand that her name isn’t Talia anymore, it’s Riley.

She knows you’re willing and available to go with her - I feel like bringing it up again might come off as pushy. If you really feel like you should though, bring it up one last time: “Hey, I just wanted to make sure you knew that I want you to be comfortable tomorrow. How can I best support you?” And then accept that whatever her answer is, it is the truth
