    How about Alexis?   (ha ha - only kidding)
    
    I think the name should be one syllable (because Alexander has so many)
    and end in a constanent (sp?)  (becuase Alexander starts with a vowel)

    Christine Alexander                               
    Charlene Alexander                Allison Alexander (that's kinda nice!
    Jonelle Alexander
    Justine Alexander                 Then again, if they call her Alli -
    Rene Alexander                    Alli Alexander sort of sounds like
    Joy Alexander                     "All 'e All 'e  in the Tree" that
                                       children scream when they play
                                       kick the can.  (but still DOES sound
                                       kind of nice!)

477.12Any day now!CSC32::W_ALEXANDERWed Jan 24 1990 15:5727
    Well Kristi is 2 centimeters dialated but we still are not sure on the
    final name.  All of the sugestions have helped and I guess we will wait
    to see the baby and go from there.  What about Katherine xxx Alexander and
    calling her something like Katy or one of those type of nicknames? 
    Any ideas on this?  By the way our son is 2.5 years old and his name is
    Michael James Alexander and we call him Michael not Mike.  We had an
    early ultrasound and we have a 70% chance of a girl.  Its funny that a
    lot of the names sugested were my family's names. Here are some of my
    relitives names:
    NANCY JANE (MOTHER)
    DENISE LYNN  (SISTER)
    CELESTE ANN  (SISTER
    SUZANNE EVE  (SISTER)
    YEVETTE   (AUNT)
    VICTORIA  (GRANDMOTHER)
    JANE
    MARY
    KATHERINE (reciently passed away)
    RACHEL 
    STEVEN (BROTHER)
    You were right on the nose here, my father's name is 
    Alexander Alexander or Alex for short. He says it was horrible growing
    up with that name in school. So you folks get an A+ from me, thanks for
    all of the replys.
    
    Signed,
    William C. Alexander
477.13WARNING!!STEREO::FAHELAmalthea Celebras, LuincarandirWed Jan 24 1990 16:4910
    Katherine-Katie?
    
    Be prepared for there to be about 10 other "Katie's" in her class! 
    This is a VERY common name right now.  I have a niece named Katherine
    (Katie), and in her class there are 4 others!
    
    Katie, Jenny and Jessy (Katherine, Jennifer and Jessica) are overly
    picked.

477.14NUTMEG::MACDONALD_KThu Jan 25 1990 14:5511
    I second what K.C. said about Katie...  Very common now.  I go
    by just plain Kathryn - no nicknames - and I like my name very
    much, but it wasn't so common (especially the spelling) when
    I was growing up.  But now, boyoboyoboy...  I know several little
    girls with my name and all spelled the same way.
    
    - Kathryn
    
    P.S.  Did someone mention Elizabeth?  I think that sounds pretty
    good with Alexander.  There's so many variations, too.  Liz, Beth,
    Betsey, Lizzy (I love for a little girl) etc. etc.
477.15Have pity on the child! ;^)STEREO::FAHELAmalthea Celebras, LuincarandirThu Jan 25 1990 16:269
    I still feel that a SHORT first name should go with a LONG last name. 
    Otherwise, the kid will have severe writer's cramp by the time she's 7! 
    
    I have never understood my brother giving his daughter the full name
    Natasha Lee Corrine Coutermarsh!
    
    Just my opinion...

477.16It's a girl!CSC32::W_ALEXANDERMon Feb 19 1990 17:1911
    Well I back, and we had a girl.  Elizabeth Anne Alexander.
    She was 8lb 9 3/4oz and 20 1/2in long.  We were still weren't sure
    untill she was born and then we started naming names wile looking at
    her and she did not look like any name we picked out.  Then we said
    Elizabeth and we both agreed that was it.  We are using the full name
    for now.  One funny note was that this name had no family history and
    nobody had suggested it, but after I told my mom what it was she
    said that was the christian name she was baptized with but had
    forgot it (her name is Nancy Jane).  So thanks for all of the input.
