575.0. "Need boy's name for Cahill" by NUTMEG::MACDONALD_K () Tue Aug 14 1990 16:12

    My girlfriend's baby is due any day and she and her husband have
    yet to decide on a boy's name.  (Isn't it always the way?!)
    Anyway, their last name is Cahill (pronounced KAY-hill  [accent
    on the first syllable]) and they certainly would appreciate any
    of your opinions.  Oh, they already have a boy named Justin and
    the name they've sttled on for a girl is Kendall - personally,
    I like the name but not with their last name - but that's not
    the point.  So...  if you've got any suggestions, put 'em down.
    
    Thanks,
    Kathryn

575.1Rachel's nice too!NUTMEG::JACUNSKITue Aug 14 1990 16:4211
    I think a most masculine name for the little fellow would be ATTILLA.
    (pronounced at-TILL-ah [accent on the middle syllable] or, in some
    cases at-TEAL-ah, as in the blue-winged teal, which is a really lovely
    little duck). If he should later decide on a sex change, CAITLIN CAHILL has
     a
    nice
    ring to it.

    Then there's Caopectate Cahill and Anthill Cahill and Bill K. Cahill
    and Millard Cahill.

    Rick,
    
    I think if the little bundle of joy opts for a sex change, he/she
    should really consider the name Kaylee as opposed to Caitlin.
    
    
    Seriously, though, help me think of something for real...

575.4a few..TIPTOE::STOLICNYWed Aug 15 1990 11:205
    I kinda like the sound of Kevin Cahill....
    
    Other suggestions (I'm assuming they like "popular" names since
    they have a Justin) are Ryan, Andrew, and Steven.

    O.K...  I just talked to my girlfriend and she's informed me that
    her husband has nixed Kendall.  So, folks, that means we need TWO
    names.  I've suggested:
    
    Elizabeth Ann Cahill  (Marianne's mom's name is Ann Elizabeth)
    
    Jackson ??? Cahill
    
    What do you folks think?

575.7Grandparents' names?KYOA::CHANGThu Aug 16 1990 13:1013
    I like Elizabeth Ann for a girl.  If they decide on Elizabeth _ _ _,
    there are a lot of other middle names to go with it.  What's the
    husband's mother's name?  Sometimes a combination of the two 
    grandmothers' names sounds good together.  
    
    Same thing goes with the two grandfathers' names for a son if they
    are still having a hard time with that name.
    
    I don't particularly like Jackson though.

575.8An uncommon/common name!STEREO::FAHELAmalthea CelebrasThu Aug 16 1990 13:2510
    I love the name Elizabeth.  The best thing about the name is, although
    the name is very popular, there are DOZENS of nicknames!  I know an
    Elizabeth-Beth, an Elizabeth-Betsy, an Elizabeth-Betty, and
    Elizabeth-Lizzie, a plain Elizabeth, etc. etc.
    
    Although Ann is a lovely middle name, I agree with Chris (.7), but only
    if the other grandmother's name goes well with Elizabeth.  If its
    something like Hortense...(no offense to all the Hortense's out there)

575.9Steven Andrew Cahill - 8/24/90SAGE::MACDONALD_KFri Aug 24 1990 15:5312
    Carol & Chris:  You *BOTH* win the prize!!!  When I told my friends
    Marianne and Tim the suggestions here, the name Steven clicked
    immediately - also Andrew.  So...  when their little boy was born
    this morning at 8:30, they named hime Steven Andrew Cahill.  I just
    spoke with Tim and he wanted me to thank all of you for your input -
    especially Carol - for coming up with both names.  Oh and Chris -
    Adam was a close second.  I think you suggested that one too, correct?
    
    Anyway, thanks everyone, from two very happy parents.
