    Congratulations!  We're expecting our second in August.  I like
    your choice of names.  We're also thinking of Jessica Lynne.
    
    Coming up with a middle name seems to be difficult most of the time.
     I think those sound okay.
    
    Good luck!

    How about Leigh (Lee) or Rae?   I agree that the Lynn Mach-lin sounds
    a bit sing-songy.   

    My husband's niece is Jennifer Leigh.  My niece is Jennifer Sue.
    My son has two Jennifer's at his day care also, but don't know 
    what their middle names are.  We have to use descriptors when we
    talk about them: big Jenn, little Jenn, little red-head Jenn and
    Jenn in California!  My son does pretty well separating them.  Just
    wait till he gets to school though - he'll have the same problem
    - lots and lots of Michael's!  If you really like the name, what
    the heck!

      I dont think that Lynn sounds that bad, but how'bout
    
                   Jennifer Marie Machlin
                   Jessica  "           "
    

    I vote for Leigh.

    I have a friend whose daughter's name is Jourdan Inez.  Not
    quite Jessica or Jennifer, but a pretty "J" name I think.
    
    Good luck!

We had a daughter born on June 28th (almost a week early although my 
obstetrician kept telling me he thought I'd be about a week late).

We named her Jennifer Isabelle.  The Isabelle is after my grandmother
who was named Isabelle and my husband's grandmother who was named Ida.

    Congrats!!!!     

Hi

We're expecting our first on September 9th.  We've had a boy's name picked
out for months but have been having problems with girls names.  I've had
a gut feeling all along that it's going to be a boy so we haven't been
too worried about it but I thought we better pick out a girls name just in 
case.  

If it's a boy, it's going to be Nicholas Arthur Matsis (Arthur is my FIL's name,
               my husband's middle name and my grandfather's name)

If it's a girl, I think we've decided on Thea Matsis (Greek).  I don't have
a clue about a middle name.  Any suggestions ?    We also both really like
Hollis for a first name but I don't think it goes too well with Matsis ---
"is" on the end of both.  Another name we both love is Christina but my
SIL's name is Christine and I don't really like the nickname Chris.  

Thanks!

Pam............11 weeks to go!  =8^)

    If it is a middle name, then use Christina.  Thea Christina is lovely,
    and she won't be going by "Christina" or "Chris".  She'll go by "Thea".

    Hi,
    
    I'd like to hear suggestions for a middle name for Erin and Elizabeth. 
    
    I wrote in earlier looking for a first name to go with Carolyn. Well, 
    we've since scrapped that name and are now thinking if it's a girl, 
    we'll name her Erin or Elizabeth. 
    
    I like Erin Christine or Erin Michelle. 
    And I like Elizabeth Cara or Elizabeth Sarah. 
    
    Any other ideas? 
    
    Thanks and thank God I only have 9 weeks to go!

    Karen,
    	How about Erin Danielle??? or Elizabeth Renee???
    
    Just a couple of thoughts.
    
    Patty

    Thanks Patty. I like Erin Danielle. It's similar to Erin Michelle which
    my husband and I both like. 
    
    I've ruled out R names because of the rrrr sound with Reynolds. 
    
    I think girl's names are tough because there are alot of pretty names. 
    
    7 more weeks to decide!
