Veronica. I just loooove the name Veronica.
It’s customary among Ashkenazic Jewry to name after deceased relatives.
My oldest son (now 10) is named Avraham Yosef Dovid. My wife’s grandfather’s name was Avraham Mordechai. We would have named him that, except for the fact that wife’s other grandfather (whose name is also Mordechai) is still very much alive. So, we keep the Avraham. Yosef comes from my grandfather, who passed away six months before he was born. Dovid was the name of a great-uncle of mine.
My second son is named Chaim Shmuel. My great-grandfather’s name was Chaim Tzvi. We would have named him that (beginning to see a pattern here?) except that Tzvi is part of my father’s name and my father-in-law’s name. In Shmuel comes from my great-great grandfather (Chaim Tzvi’s father) who’se name was Moshe Shmuel (Moshe was dropped because my FIL’s name is Moshe Tzvi).
My daughter’s name is Tzivya Machla. My wife had a grandmother that she was extremely close to. Her name was Sarah Machla. Sarah, however, is part of my mother’s name. So, we dropped that part. My wife, however, wasn’t to crazy about the name Machla. So we added Tzivya, which was the name of my father’s mother.
BTW, the “CH” in Chaim and Machla are not ‘ch’ as in change, but more like the ‘ch’ in the German ‘ach’

Since we seem to be getting into Hebrew names here, I’ll add my 2¢s:
Daughter #1 - Inbar Alma. Inbar = amber. Just a nice name. Alma = soul in German/Yiddish - a catchall for the souls of too many deceased relatives, all of whom we couldn’t commerorate
Terrible Twins:
He - Barak Michael. Barak = lightening. Just a nice name. (see a pattern here? Michael (pronounced MEE-KHA-EL) after my grandfather - Avraham Michael.
She - Gil Choral. Gil = joy. Just… Choral - after Beethoven’s symphony. And she is turning out to be quite a musician, so maybe there’s something to the power of names, after all…
None of them use their middle names (although they all know them). First names - names we liked for them. Middle names - commemorative, each of something else.
Zev - What kind of a Hebrew name is Makhla? Just curioius, as I don’t recognize it at all… sounds almost like Makhala (disease) to me 
, which I suppose is not the correct interpretation.

You’re not the first person to be confused. Machla comes from the same root as the word mechila (forgiveness). It is one of the names of Tzelophchad’s daughters (see Numbers 27:1).
It’s definitely not the most common Hebrew name, I’ll grant you; but it’s not unheard of either. I know of at least two others with the name as well.

Our Japanese/English boys are Yoshiki and Kiharu.
Yoshiki means “a graceful tree”, and we chose it to match one character of his father’s name (he is “a pure tree”). The idea was that he will be strong like a tree, but not rigid. A graceful tree will bend under pressure but then hopefully stand back up again. We also chose it because “Yoshi” is a bit like “Joshua” in English. (Boys names are very hard to make bilingual.)
Kiharu is a “spring tree” which causes comment because he was not born in the spring! My husband chose the character to symbolise the new season that our family had entered with the birth of the new baby. And the shape of the character is strong and stable. He is more often than not called Harry by the family, and Haru by his Japanese grandfather.
Both boys have no middle name, as it is hard to register one in Japan, the land of one name each. Also I don’t have a middle name anyway, so it would seem a bit odd to start loading up the kids with extra baggage. I have also heard of fights over Japanese relatives using the Japanese name, and the other relatives using the other name, to the confusion of the kid. Names in Japan have an extra dimension to consider - not only the family connections, nice sound, good meaning, but also the shape of the character, and also for some people the number of strokes it takes to write the character is important.
Christ, I think you’re right. I don’t want to give my kid a pornstar name shudders
Having both the first name and birth month, I am pleased by your choice and timing. 
As for my kids’ names, I can’t say. I can barely think up names for the cat I don’t yet have.
Aaron’s real name is, of course, Aaron Justin.
The working name while we were coming up with a real name was Flozell Fleance.
Now, his nicknames are Booga and Narfle T. Garthog, or Narf for short.
Robin
My two are:
Carsten Siegfried ( middle name would be after FIL und Hubby’s middle name.)
Teagan O’Hara. Teagan being quite uncommon around here and I picked it up on vacation in England. O’Hara being her Great Grandma’s maiden name.
If we ever have anymore, I love these threads My picks are as follow:
Boys:
Biercheart (beer-cart) (it’s irish, btw)
Ignatius
Dieter or Jurgen. ja, ja, ja ja…zee ghermans have such nice names.
Girls:
Imogene
Josephine
Ulelie Mckechnie Sheenan
I didn’t name my stepchildren, and soon they won’t even be my stepchildren anymore, so I guess I won’t give their names. Though I will point out that while my stepdaughter has a highly common girl’s name, her older brother was apparently named for a Bruce Willis character.
For years I have wanted to have a daughter named Chloe Louise. I’ve always liked the name Louise, and Chloe (although it’s bound to be pronounced wrong) is a pretty name. I originally came up with that combination because of the actress Chloe Sevigny and Louise Post from Veruca Salt. Then I realized how nice they sound together.
Other girl’s names I like include Emily Rose or Rose Emily, Violet Rose, Stephanie Violet, Sarah, Laura, and Ruby.
I have absolutely no clue with boy’s names. Inevitably the names I come up with are the names of ex’s. So I figure someday if I have a boy I’d leave his name up to his father.
Weird…I have only encountered one Tegan in my life…a baby at the day care center where I work. We all thought it was such a pretty, but unusual, name and wondered where it came from. I wonder if she’s named from the same place your Tegan is. I didn’t know it was such a common name.
