659.0. "Names for Donchin?" by MR4DEC::DONCHIN () Tue Mar 26 1991 19:53

    Our second child will arrive the first week of June (by planned
    C-section), but I can't get my husband to talk about a name. I gave him
    my two favorites (Lindsey Rachel for a girl or Jared Matthew for a
    boy), but the only response I've gotten is that he doesn't like the
    name Jared for a boy and can maybe live with Lindsey for a girl (not
    too much enthusiasm here).
    
    In any case, it would be nice for us to settle on names before the baby
    is born. We both like Matthew for a boy, but are uncomfortable with its
    popularity. As far as an alternate name for a girl goes, we really
    don't have any.
    
    Any suggestions for names for either sex? Please note that we are Jewish,
    so names commonly associated with other ethnic groups like the Irish
    and Italians (Erin, Kelly, Sean, John, Angela, and Anthony) are out.
    
    Thanks, in advance, for your help.
    
    Nancy-

659.1	Some names for you	KYOA::CHANG		`Wed Mar 27 1991 12:10`	16
	I really like the name Rachel as both a middle and a first name. If your husband is not excited about Lindsey Rachel, how about Rachel Lindsey? You could try reversing Jared Matthew to Matthew Jared, too. If that isn't a solution, here are more names for you: Emily Rachel David Matthew Victoria Rachel Jonathan Matthew Rachel Veronica Matthew Gregory Rachel Amanda Matthew Alexander Rachel Ariana Matthew Steven Good luck Chris

	I know a Jewish family with 3 children - 2 daughters and a son: Dawn Samantha and Aaron K.C.
659.3	great choices!	TIPTOE::STOLICNY		`Wed Mar 27 1991 12:17`	14
	Too bad your husband doesn't like Jared. I love it and it sounds great with Donchin! If you both really like Matthew, however, maybe you should use it as a first name irregardless of its popularity. Other than that, I'd recommend: Derek Matthew and Jacob Matthew. I also like your girl's choice, Lindsey Rachel, but wouldn't use Rachel as a first name since Rachel Donchin is too much -ch for my tastes. I do think Rebecca sounds great with Donchin and is Hebrew in origin. Just curious, what is your first child's name? Carol

	How about Bethany Rachel Donchin For a boy what about Devin or Tyler
659.5	Some great ideas here	MR4DEC::DONCHIN		`Wed Mar 27 1991 14:28`	14
	Thanks for all the replies so far. With a last name like Donchin and the religious restrictions placed on baby naming (for example, we can't use the names of living relatives, but are sort of expected to use the names of dead relatives), we are in a bit of a bind. Some of your suggestions fall into this category (Jonathan and Gregory, for example), but most aren't. Carol - our first child is a girl named Jamie Michelle. Thanks again. Nancy-
