I think personally that there are lots of perfect names out there, but the one that is perfect for your child is always individual.
I had never even thought of names before we fell pregnant (never planned my perfect wedding in my head years beforehand either). Neither of our kids names were my first choice. DH picked Darcy's name, and TBH I hated it, but now down the track it is the most perfect name for her.
Darcy picked Nate's name out of a selection of three. We found boys names so hard and were a bit 'meh' with all of them, so we gave her a list and consistently over a few weeks she chose Nate. So that's what he was. We did have backups but my Godfather was dying a week before he was born, so we wanted him to know that he was a boy and what his name was. When we said his name, actually named him to someone else, that was it, it was perfect.
