Has anyone else felt like God gave you a name, like He did for me with Zachariah?

Hey everyone, grateful for the safe space here.

I want to share something that’s been on my heart. Recently, I was serving a customer at work, and she asked for my name mine is Chinese, which she found hard to pronounce. I explained I didn’t have an English name, and after some conversation, she casually asked if I was a Christian. I said I was, though I’ve drifted away for a while. She shared that her kids lost their faith, yet she keeps praying. Then she said something I wasn’t expecting she prayed for me and God gave her a name for me Zachariah.

I was taken aback because I’ve always liked the name Zachary. When it landed on me like that, it felt so personal and meaningful not just a random moment.
