Visceral reactions to names - anyone else?

Just a fun, interesting (to me) question... When my husband I discussed names for our children during pregnancies I had strong physical reactions to every name we considered. If it was “the wrong name” I felt nauseous, like sick-to-my-stomach queasy level nauseous, even if it was a name I loved and strongly considered for future children prior to becoming pregnant. (I had pretty bad morning sickness that eventually eased up somewhat, but this reaction happened regardless of where in the pregnancy I was at the time.) When we finally found “the right name” I felt peaceful and settled, even if it was a name that didn't previously appeal to me much. We always waited until after the baby was born to fully lock into the name choice, but we never changed our minds after meeting the baby - it was always the right name and if anything it just became more obvious that it was right. I’m just curious if anyone else experienced anything like this?
