back up name(s) for your children? Names that you had picked out if the name you decided on didn't fit? If you didn't have one... did you bring a name book with you in case?

We liked Dominic for Nathaniel but when we saw the name Nathaniel, we decided that we liked it better. Which turned out for the best since my mom later named my brother Dominic

We were going to originally name our daughter Lucia but I was discouraged by people reacting weirdly to it. We're probably going to name a future daughter Lucia but I'm okay with not naming Norah that because we wanted to name her after her grandfather, Norman.
