Names

So my life is now completely consumed by baby stuff... which kind of fun and funny at the same time. 

As the big day get closer and closer there are a lot of things we are stressing out about... Will everything go as planned?  Will the baby be healthy?  What should we pack to bring the hospital?  Will I know when I go into labor?  What if I'm home alone when I do?  What if I'm at work?  What if we don't make to the hospital in time?  What are we going to name our little guy?  He is going to be stuck with the name for the rest of his life?  We want it to be a strong name that represents him... but we don't really know who he is yet.  We know we would prefer it not to be a "common" name but between two abnormally large families, friends and acquaintances its hard to pick a name and not think, "I once knew a __" or "there was a __ in my class in 8th grade who was mean."  Or when you mention a name to someone and they say, "I claim that name for my child" (who isn't even a thought or idea).

So if you have kids, how did you choose their names?  If you could, would you change now that they are old?

Any advice would be great!
