Did you ever decide that you gave your child the wrong name?

I named my daughter after my great-grandmother because I always loved her name. As my daughter grew and I saw what a flair she had for drama (she started practicing making expressive faces and crying in the mirror at 18 months) I thought I should have given her a name like Sarah Bernhardt or Margaret O'Brien (famous child actress known for crying scenes). My son often tells me to call him by a different name, and once or twice I have quite liked what he came up with. He does it as a whim and for fun, but sometimes I think he finds names that suit him better than the one I gave him. My question is, did you ever think after a few years that you picked the wrong name for your child? I know we are always used to the names and think they fit them, but after getting to know them as individuals, did you ever doubt your first choice of names?
