DD's name was from a song and was decided before we met her. Thankfully it really suited her and she knows when the song comes on its "her song". The song has lyrics which I felt strongly about. Her middle names are family names which are carried down through each generation.

This bub's name came to me in a dream when I was 12 weeks pregnant (girl name at 9 weeks).

When I do find a name I like I look up the meaning but because they can be so varied its not always the deciding factor for me
