766.0. "NAMES FOR BELLIVEAU" by MCIS5::PULSIFER () Mon Feb 24 1992 16:12

    Hi,
    
    I am looking to see what girls and boys names best fit the last name of
    Belliveau.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    
    Thanks,
    Laura

    Hi Laura,
    
    	Could you tell us how your last name is pronounced (bell-ee-voh?). 
    I'm sure one of these talented noters will come up with some keen
    suggestions!
    
    -slt-

    Hi,
    
    Yes, you are right in the pronounceation (SP) - it can go both ways -
    the french way of saying it is (BELL-EE-VOH) and other people say it
    (BELL-EE-VIEW) - so either way is correct.
    
    I am very interested in people's suggestions.
    
    Thanks again,
    Laura
766.3Renee or Luke?TIPTOE::STOLICNYThu Feb 27 1992 11:5028
    Hi Laura,
    
    Can you throw out some ideas of names that you've been considering?
    That can usually help people make suggestions as they can get a 
    feel for the "types" of names that you like (i.e. old-fashioned,
    unusual, French, etc).   As a general rule, I think that a one or 
    two syllable name would sound best with the 3-syllable last name.
    
    The first girls' name that came to my mind was Renee, because
    it is French, because it sounds nice with the last name (either
    pronounciation!), and because it is a pretty, but not overly
    popular name.  
    
    The first boys' name that came to mind was Luke (or Luc) for the
    same reasons as above.
    
    Other ideas:
    
    Rachel 
    Renee
    Lisa
    
    Derek
    Thomas
    Steven
    
    Good luck,
    Carol
766.4Yvon/YvonneCIVIC::FAHELAmalthea Celebras/Silver UnicornThu Feb 27 1992 12:154
    My first thought was Yvonne...I love the name Yvonne with Belleveau. 
    Or even the male version, Yvon.

    I really like the name Renee and Rachael- those were names I had been
    considering.  Other names that I like are:
    
    Megan
    Ashley
    Jenna
    Paige
    Sheila
    
    Ryan
    Brandon
    Dylan
    
    
    Those were some girls and boys names I liked - and wasn't sure if they
    really went with Belliveau.  What do you think?
    
    Laura
766.6SWAM1::THOMPSOND_SHThu Feb 27 1992 15:059
    I think all those go well with Belliveau, with the exception of Brandon
    (to many B's?).  I'm especially partial to Jenna.  A name I really like
    is Emma, sounds a lot like Jenna.  Something French would be neat with
    your last name, too:  Christian/Christiane
			  Romain
    
    ...So many possibilties!

766.7CombinationsKYOA::CHANGThu Feb 27 1992 17:2311
    
    I also like your list of names as well as some of the others given.
    How about combining them:
    
    Jenna Paige Belliveau
    Renee Ashley Belliveau
    Ashley Paige Belliveau
    Emma Rachel Belliveau

    Thanks for all these great responses - we certainly have alot of
    choices/suggestions to go by - now all I have to do is share these with
    my husband and see what we both agree on.
    
    Thanks and keep the suggestions coming.
