452.0. "Suggestions for first names?" by ECADSR::HAMPTON (Easy does it, Do it easy....) Thu Oct 12 1989 12:51

    Hi.
    
    My wife and I need suggestions for first names that go well with
    the following:
    
    XXXXXXX John William Hampton
    
    XXXXXXX Mary Arnese Hampton
    
    The middle names are those of the grandparents and we really
    don't want them as first names.  Any suggestions?
    
    We're not due until May so there is no rush.
    
    Thanks!

    "restrictions"!)
    
    TYLER John William Hampton
    	      or
    JOHN ROSS William Hampton  (OK, OK, so I cheated a bit....!!)
    
    VANESSA Mary Arnese Hampton

452.2Boy what a mouthfulSKIWVA::FSCNOMon Oct 16 1989 18:2015
    Just my suggestion...
    
    Evan John William Hampton
    
    Elizabeth Mary Arnese Hampton
    
    I think using the grandparents name for middle names is a very
    thoughtful idea.
    
    Good Luck

    While I don't have any specific suggestions (My tastes run to very
    strange names), I think you are going to have to pick a first name
    that is short.  Otherwise the child's name will be such a mouthful.
    It's a little unusual to use TWO middle names, isn't it?  Is it
    a family tradition?  Personally, I think its a bit much, but my
    opinion shouldn't really matter to you.  Perhaps you could use only
    one of either grandparents' names, and have four kids?
    
    Just some suggestions.

    Thanks for the suggestions so far!
    
    re. -1
    
    Yes, I guess TWO middle names are a little unusual...but that's
    ok.  It's not  a family tradition. (Yet!)
    
    >>Perhaps you could use only one of either grandparents' names,
    >>and have four kids?
    
    Sure if it were guaranteed that we were to have 2 girls and 2 boys;
    in four tries.

    I grew up with a girl whose full name was Laura Ann Francis McDonough.
    I used to envy her that; I thought such a long name was pretty.

452.7a couple of suggestionsFSHQA2::JMCGINNISJOYCE_MCGINNISTue Nov 07 1989 19:3718
    Here's a couple of thoughts:
    
    If you think two middle names will be too much of a mouthful, how
    about using the last name of the grandparents as the middle name.
    I have a friend that is doing something similar, she is using her
    maiden name as the middle name of all her children.
    
    .... If you really want to use the full names of the grandparents
    then here is a suggestion.
    
    Timothy John William Hampton (his nickname could be T.J.)
    
    I couldn't come up with a girls name that kinda went with the flow.
    
    Good luck.

452.8Here's an update....ECADSR::HAMPTONANY DAY NOW! (EDC: T minus 9 days)Mon Apr 23 1990 16:3817
    Well after long considerations and friendly debats ;->, my wife and
    I decided NOT to go with the grandparents as middle names. (At least
    for this first one.)
    
    Here are some that we've come up with so far, but we are still open
    to suggestions:
    
    Boy					Girl
    ---					----
    Jonathan Clark			Brittni Arnese
    George Nicholas			Jasmine Arnese
    					Kara Arnese
    
    
    Would like a few more suggestions for boy's names.

452.9George???FENNEL::MACDONALD_KThu May 03 1990 18:0914
    Hi there...
    
    Don't want to offend anyone out there, but why George for a baby's
    first name?  I can't really say why, but I've never liked that name.
    Nicholas is nice, though...  How about Nicholas George if you're
    really stuck on that name.  Out of the girls' names you've chosen,
    I like Jasmine the best.  I've always thought of that as a wonderfully
    exotic name and it really doesn't get used much.  Another name that's
    kind of similar to that which I also really like is Jade.  Good luck...
    I bet your wife is at that "I wish this was over" point in her
    pregnancy.  Congratulations...
