For those with children

This is a question for those of you with children. 

Did you have named picked out for your future offspring before you concieved them.   If so, did you end up using them.

Also...just out of curiosity...what are your childrens names and how did you come to pick them?

I honestly have no idea how I came to start liking the name Lily. All I know is, I got pregnant, and I knew that if I had a girl her name would be Lily. I came across her middle name, Calla, while looking up pictures of lilies in the encyclopedia (this was back in 1995, before the internet was widely available). I came across the name, liked it immediately, read that it meant "beautiful", and that was that. Lily Calla. Btw, no joke, I never did find out what a calla lily looked like until after she was born! I just loved the name. Good thing it fits her! :)
