Names you used to dislike, but then you met someone by that name and now like it?

General Name Discussion

A lot of threads are about names you used to like but then you met someone who made you hate it (they “ruined” the name for you.) I was wondering if there was an inverse for others too where you had a name you didn’t like but then met someone by that name and ended up liking it (they “redesigned” the name for you.)
