Our Daughter's Name

I have been thinking of putting up this posting but just couldn't find the time for it.
Our daughter's chinese name was suggested by my wife because she like the word "卓", which means "outstanding". We though of using "恩" which means "kind act" as the second character. Hence, her chinese name is "卓恩".
We also used an online name calculation service (http://www.name321.com/) to make sure that this is a good name.

I have always wanted to name my children name using chinese poems or "对联". Hence, I reverse engineer the following:
跃超群显才华, 没忘昔日父母.
My wish is to leave something unique and special for my daughter.

After thinking of her chinese name, I suggested having her English name as "Grace" as it would be meaningful to us. Although we have wanted a child, we did not put in a lot of efforts these years. Grace arrival is like a unearned favour received (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_grace).
