645.0. "Help Name Baby Girl Richards" by EXIT26::MACDONALD_K (The Sea Refuses No River) Sat Feb 23 1991 22:14

    Hi Everyone,
    
    I'm looking for suggestions for a girl's name for some
    friends of mine who are expecting in May.  Their last
    name is Richards...  Any suggestions are welcome.

    Hi Kathryn - 
    
    Do you have any clues as to what types of names your friends
    prefer?  For example, do they have any restrictions or family
    names they'd like to use...what are their other children(s)'
    names (if any).   It usually helps to narrow down the list 
    of suggestions.  Richards is pretty easy to work with.

645.3here's a few guessesTIPTOE::STOLICNYTue Feb 26 1991 15:2910
    
    I've a few suggestions.   I think that names ending in -a sound good
    with Richards so I recommend:
    
    Pamela, Tanya, Andrea, Alexandra, Vanessa (all nice but not overly
    common).
    
    I also think Valerie Richards sounds great!
    
    Carol
645.4oh, and one more...TIPTOE::STOLICNYTue Feb 26 1991 18:143
    
    and Julia Richards!
    
645.5They like normal namesEXIT26::MACDONALD_KThe Sea Refuses No RiverFri Mar 01 1991 10:5318
    Carol,
    
    I like Tanya and Julia very much and I agree with your theory about
    names ending in "a" to go with their last name.  Now, to answer some
    of your questions...  No, they have no other children and I'm not sure
    if they have any restrictions due to other family members' names.
    One thing I do know is that they lile "middle-of-the-road" names.
    You know, ones that aren't too common but at the same time aren't
    way out there either.  They're not really into being "trendy" either.
    
    I have a friend named Tanya who I feel is a wonderful person (I was
    considering that name if I have another girl even though it doesn't
    sound too good with MacDonald) and I'm going to try to sell them on
    that one.  Julia is also very pretty, though.  Thanks for the
    suggestions, and thank-you too, .1

    Kathryn-
    
    Tanya is one of our choices (if we have another child and if it is
    a girl).   It's is slovac (sp?) in origin so "fits" with our last
    name.  The only thing I don't like is that alot of New Englanders
    seem to pronounce it Tawn-ya or Ton-ya and I prefer Tan-ya.
    
    FWIW, how do you feel about Kelly Richards?   I think "soft" sounding
    first names are ideal with Richards.

    My sister's name is Leah.  It is unique without being strange and
    sounds well with Richards, too.

645.8Ideas from Switzerland !SHIRE::AEBISCHERThu Mar 21 1991 14:0610
    Hello,
    
    I'm brand new using NOTES and I have some ideas (very European as I'm
    Swiss) with Richards, what about
    
    Melany Richards
    Sally Richards
    Eva Richards (pronounce EY-VA)
    
    Sandrine
645.9Good NameOBSESS::PHELANThu Mar 28 1991 11:3825
    HI, 
    
    How about: 
    
    Joanna Richards
    Diana Richards
    Rielle Richards
    Roxanne Richards
    Rosalie Richards
    Amanda Richards
    Kathryn Richards
    Erica Richards
    Natalie Richards
    Valerie Richards
    
    Rielle is a nice middle name also for any chosen name. 
    
    i.e.  Joanna Rielle Richards ...
    
    Richards - what a GREAT name to work with !!!!
    
    Keep us posted!

    Kathryn (if you're around...)-
    
    What happened with baby girl Richards?    Is she here yet?
    
    Carol
645.11I haven't heard, Carol...EXIT26::MACDONALD_Kno unique hand plugs the damFri May 24 1991 18:149
    Sorry Carol, I have no idea.  'Daddy' Richards works at night here
    in the same complex as me and I only see him once in great while.
    (I think he was too shy to post a note in here himself.)  Anyway,
    I did see him about two weeks ago and he told me his wife was due
    in two weeks, so that means baby Richards could very well be here
    by now.  I'll post something when I know the details...

645.12Update on baby RichardsEXIT26::MACDONALD_Kno unique hand plugs the damThu May 30 1991 16:4014
    Well, I was almost right, Carol.  Baby Richards arrived the day after
    I posted the last reply...  And because they couldn't quite decide on
    a girl's name, they had a BOY!  He weighed in at 7lbs. 15 oz. and his
    name is Sean David Richards.  (Daddy's first name is David).  I just
    spoke with one of Dave's co-workers and he told me that mom and baby
    are doing great and she was only in labor for about 3 hours or so.
    Everybody is ecstatic...
    
    Everybody, thanks for all of your help in coming up with girls' names.
    Perhaps they'll use one of them somewhere down the road if little Sean
    ever has a sister.
