==The Charmed Ones Children==
===Piper Halliwell===
When Piper Halliwell gave birth to her first two children Wyatt and Chris, she broke the tradition choosing to name her children based on her husband Leo Wyatt's family. However, when she gave birth to her daughter, Melinda, she chose the name Prudence, in honor of her eldest sister who was murdered by Shax in a demonic attack nearly ten years ago.
When Piper gave birth to Wyatt, the sisters and Leo tried to come up with "P" names suitable for the boy - a name suggested by Phoebe was "Potter" and Leo suggested "Peter", but Piper finally decided on "Wyatt", in honor of Leo.Baby's First Demon
