Do you just know if the name is right regardless of appearance?

Anyone else think they have the names picked but worried if baby has unexpected hair colour or appearance that it won't suit and you will be back to square one?! Does the name just work if you have your heart set on it?

I was totally set on my DCs' names before they arrived.

It may not be the case if you were planning something like Raven or Ebony or something, mind you.

Both mine had first and middle names before they were born and used their name when talking about them

They both suit them. So either we were really lucky or we just think they suit them because we cant think of them any other way.
