744.0. "Boys names" by RDGENG::HENDERSON () Thu Nov 14 1991 07:30

My baby is due in February, and all the way through my husband and myself have
thought we would have a girl, but for some reason everyone else I know thinks it 
will be a boy.  Thats where the problem is.  We have decided on a girls name, but
we have racked our brains or a boys name, but to no avail.

We really like unuaual names rather than traditional, of which there don't seem 
to be many of for boys.

Our surname is LaVine (pronouned - La-Veen) which is quite easy to match 
christian names with.

So come on all you budding name speialists, please please please give us some
help. 

Luv,
Suzanne.

744.1Like any of these?VIA::MEHRINGFri Nov 15 1991 11:5327
Suzanne,

Here are some of my favorites - and they sound good with LaVine:

	Gordon
	Jared
	Nathan
	Adam
	Spencer
	Mitchell
	Tanner
	Chase
	Conrad

There are lots of good non-traditional boys names embedded in the baby name
books - you just have to keep scanning them and sounding out the names until
you find one(s) you like (of course this isn't as easy as it sounds!!)

What nationalities are in your & your husband's background? Sometimes that
helps to find names that fit with the last name & the family's heritage...
Also, what girls' names have you picked?  Are you partial to short names
or multi-syllabic names?  The more info. you give us, the more likely we are
to come up with something you like....

Have fun thinking of all the possibilities!!!

744.3Thanks so farRDGENG::HENDERSONWed Nov 20 1991 08:4628
Thanks for the ideas so far,

The name we like for a girl is Kaija (kye-a), and may opt for a middle name like 
Paris or Courtnay, but aren't sure yet.

My husband is Bajan (Barbados) and I suppose I am British born and bred, 
although I do have Welsh, Irish, Scottish and French taces in me.

With my husband being black and I am very pale and blonde, I should imagine the
baby will be a beautiful mixture (you never know though!!!) therefore we like
exotic sounding names, and think they would fit the baby perfectly.

We quite like the name Kyle for a boy, but I am not sure on how it sounds with
LaVine (too many l's?)  so I'd appreciate any opinions there.

I have no preferences as the amount of syllables (sp?) etc, so please let your
imagination run!

One thing we don't like though is Gaelic/traditionally British names (no offence 
to anyone with them though - it's just we don't think it would suit the baby 
very much!)

I hope this helps you brain cells get into gear, and I await your replies!

Thanks once again,

Luv
Suzanne.
