What’s in vs. a name?

Just out of curiosity, do you, your children or someone you know have a story, special meaning, or specific reason behind your/their name? I have one daughter at the moment (she’s due in March) and her name is going to be Abigail Rose becuase when I told my husband that I was pregnant, he was sooooo excited that he ran up and down the block shouting to the whole neighborhood he was going to be a daddy (it took us 6 years to get pregnant). When we found out that Abigail means "Father’s joy", it reminded me of his reaction and we fell in love with it. Rose is my middle name. So that is where our daughter’s name comes from. What about you all? Please share if you know a story behind a specific name. Thanks, Beth

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
