Kalae Chock: The Name Game

I’ve heard of some parents naming the kid after the kid is born. I hope that doesn’t happen to us. Not that it’s a horrible thing. I just feel like I definitely have more time to name him now than I will once he comes. With that said, we’re still looking for a name. We’re getting closer. We’re thinking something Hawaiian. We’ve had several lovely suggestions and several non-lovely suggestions. One idea: Don Ho Deyo. It’s Hawaiian, kind of. And it rhymes! Lovely. Robby and I have both always liked the name Luke. But with a daughter named Leialoha, Leia for short, we figured Luke and Leia was way too Star Wars-like. Not lovely/Kalae Chock, KXLY's Morning Madness. More here.

Question: How did you come up with the names for your kids? Did you have the names before they were born?
