    Just a note...
    
    I noticed that you have "Leigh" for a boy's name.  That is my husband's
    name, and has been a bit of a problem.  (He has had more mail sent to
    Ms. Leigh Fahel than I care to mention!)  He also isn't overly fond of
    it, but it is a pain to change it.  We had also met a teenager with the
    same name, and he was overjoyed to have met someone with the same
    spelling... he always felt wierd about his name.
    
    I like your choice of Evan, so how about Evan Lee, or Evan Leigh?  I
    also like Chelsea...Chelsea Anne?
    
    K.C.

    From your list of boys names how about:
    
    Evan Taylor
    or 
    Evan Fletcher
    
    I like Chelsea, too.  How about:
    
    Chelsea Elizabeth
    or
    Chelsea Paige
    
    Best of luck,

    Bowers doesn't seem too hard to work with, really.
    How about:
    
    Evan Michael Bowers
    Evan Garrett Bowers
    Evan Lee Bowers 
    Evan Thomas Bowers
    Evan Christopher Bowers
    
    Chelsea Renee Bowers
    Chelsea Jane Bowers
    Chelsea Leigh Bowers 
    Chelsea Michelle Bowers
    
    Lots and lots of possibilities!!

    How about Chelsea Leigh Bowers?

    I like both Evan and Austin.  My last name also begins with "B" and we
    selected names ending in "n" for our baby.  For some reason they just
    sounded better to us.  You could use:
    
    Evan Austin Bowers
         
    
       or
    
    Chelsea Anne Bowers
            Lynn
    
    Many of the other names given sound good also.  With Chelsea I like the
    sound of a single syllable middle name.

Thanks for the ideas.

So far it looks like Lee/Leigh as a middle name.  (Which is good as my
father's middle name is Lee).

Evan Lee Bowers

Chelsea Leigh Bowers

But Evan Austin and Chelsea Lynn sound pretty good, too.  The hard part
for the middle name seems to be not to have it end with an "er" sound
or an "s" (or have too many syllables).

Keep those cards and letters coming.

I like your choices a lot, but here are some others to toss around:

For girls:

	Chelsea Rae Bowers
	Chelsea Dana Bowers
	Chelsea Diane Bowers
	Dana-Leigh Bowers

For boys:

	Evan Jared Bowers
	Evan Keith Bowers
	Cameron Evan Bowers


Good luck!

    I love the name Chelsea Ann Bowers. The Ann kind of brings it to a
    pause so it doesn't run together. Of course so do a lot of the others.
    I'm just posing my favorite of the choices. As for Evan Lee, he might
    run into other kids calling him heavenly. I like the name myself just
    thought I'd bring up the possibilities of harassment. How's Evan Alexis
    Bowers strike you? Again, just a suggestion...
    
    Good Luck

    Just thought I'd drop in.  5 1/2 weeks to go.  We _think_ we've settled
    on a boys name, sticking with Evan Lee.
    
    We've changed our minds about a girls name though, going from Chelsea
    Lee to Chelsea Abigail to Lindsey Alanna.
    
    I never thought choosing a name would be so hard.  Guess that's why
    there's a notesfile like this.  :^)
    
    Will keep you posted.
