What's in a name?

The Eagles were scrimmaging against the Buccs tonight. I was sitting in my chair, sipping my diet Dr Pepper when I heard the Buccs' coach say, ""Way to go, Amadeus!" Amadeus? Really?  No.... Really now.  Really!?  He didn't look Austrian to me. 

It got me to thinking about names in general. Kris read The Omen when she was 12 and decided my nephew would be named "Damien" at least 10 years before she even met his father. I don't know if anyone remembers the "Dracula: the series", but the lead character's name was Alexander Lucard. I liked it so much, I used it for my only son. Alexander, not Lucard. His middle name, Catarino, is for my grandfather who died when I was still pregnant. Would anyone like to share the Why of their child(ren)'s name(s)? (present of future!)
