Whoever thought of this notes file had a GREAT idea...my thanks to him
or her.
My husband and I are expecting our first child December 20. We have
agreed on only one girl's name and one boy's name...however, we would
like to hear more suggestions. Our last name is Hohman (pronounced
Ho-man).
The names so far agreed upon:
GIRL: MEREDITH LYNN HOHMAN (Merri for short)
BOY: ANDREW LEE HOHMAN (Drew for short)
I know some of you will say "great" that we agreed on one name for each
sex...the problem lies that my mother isn't thrilled with the name
Andrew since her best friend's nephew is Andrew and that is all she
ever hears "Andrew this Andrew that".
Also, can anyone tell me what the name Meredith means and the origin
and the same for Andrew?
Thanks for the help!

According to earlier notes the meaning of Meredith is:
447.4 Welsh Guardian of the Sea
447.5 English Great Chief
As far as Andrew, since you have already picked the nickname "Drew",
there should be less problems with Grandma since it will not be
"Andrew this and Andrew that" from you, but rather "Drew this and
Drew that"!!!

i say keep andrew if you like it! like my mom says, "i named my kids you name yours." grandma'll get used to it and like .1 says you've already decided to use the nickname drew. so, do it! i love DREW! i would love to name my baby (due jan 14) drew if it's a boy but somehow i think drew snow doesn't sound too good. too many w's. good luck! janet. | |||||

If you like Andrew (Drew), use it! But if you insist upon picking
another name, there are plenty out there that are nice, and will go
very nicely with your last name. Here's one that you don't hear very
often, and I think is actually quite nice: Spencer. You could even
keep the same middle name with it:
Spencer Lee Hohman, (Spence for short?)
Best Wishes,
Jennifer
