This plant is called a Polka dot plant or Hypoestes phyllostachya.

Cut it back regularly to keep it from getting leggy and it will bush up better. You can use the cuttings for more plants by rooting them in soil, much like you would a geranium or coleus.

Sounds like you are taking proper care of it!
