775.0. "Name beginning with "M"" by 7389::WARREN () Wed Mar 25 1992 16:36

    All of the members of our immediate family have 
    a first name beginning with "M".  
    
    We kind of like the balance of initials MW.
    
    It may appear a bit eccentric to some of you for 
    us to propagate this further but before we break 
    tradition we want to research our options...
    
    The sex of the child-to-be is unknown.
    
    To save time we have compiled a list of names 
    come to mind:
    
    Maaike          Madison         Marianne        Marieke
    Mariele         Marielle        Mariette        Mariete
    Marika          Marilas         Marimer         Marion
    Marissa         Marc            Mark            Marten
    Meaghan         Megan           Meghan          Melanie
    Melissa         Meredith        Micah           Miles
    Minda           Mindee          Minden          Minden
    Mindi           Monique         Morrison
    
    Thanks!

775.8MSBCS::BARTOWThu Apr 02 1992 16:3321
Hi, Margery!  I was just browsing through this notes conference, and saw YOUR
note.

For girls, I like:

Megan or Meghan
Meredith
Melissa
Michelle

For boys (harder to find "M" names):

Mark
Marcus
Madison (could be unisex)

Are you leaning toward any over others?  

Susan

P.S.  I think the tradition sounds neat.
775.9Boy M name was hard!WILBRY::WASSERMANDeb Wasserman, DTN 264-1863Thu Apr 02 1992 18:444
    Ha!  My husband and I searched for an "M" name for a boy that we could
    agree on.  Everything he liked I hated, and vice versa.  It finally
    came down to Mitchell, Michael, or Marc.  We decided on Marc en route
    to the hospital.  (I also liked Matthew).  
775.10more m's for girlsDELNI::STHILAIREFood, Shelter & DiamondsThu Apr 09 1992 20:2922
     Another one I like:
    
    Marinda
    
    Also, I don't know if anyone mentioned:
    
    Miranda
    
    Another old-fashioned one:
    
    Mabel  or Maybelle
    
    My favorite:
    
    Melissa (my daughter's name)
    
    
    
    Lorna

775.12MOTHER "KNOWS BEST"CSTEAM::WARRENThu May 07 1992 19:418
    HOW BOUT MARK JAMES WARREN? AFTER UNCLE AND GRANDFATHER?
    MELISSA - NO
    MEREDITH OK
    MASON - TOO NOUVEAU - SOUNDS LIKE A TOO MUCH LIKE A SOAP OPERA
    MYLES WARREN - DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT...?
    MAX IS OK
    
    MOTHER'S CHOICES!

775.14Mark and MalloryMR4DEC::DONCHINTue May 19 1992 20:569
    Margery and Mike-
    
    If you're looking for "referees," my call is definitely Mark for a boy.
    In the girl department, I would consider Melissa, Meredith, or Mallory
    (the last one is trendy, but it sounds nice with Warren).
    
    Good luck!
    
    Nancy (without Dale)
775.15What about Marvelous?RICKS::WARRENThu May 21 1992 20:1914
    	girl:  Melissa, 2nd choice: Meredith
    
        boy :  Myles is too close to Miles (and I'm a runner) so
               and we don't want anyone to associate the naming 
               of our children with such.
    
    	       Mark is my brother's name and if he is SURE he does 
               not want a Jr., I'll concede...
               
    	       Mason/Marshall out 
    
               Anyone care for Monroe, Montgomery, Madison?
    
    	       days to go...
775.16Mitch Warren?CNTROL::STOLICNYThu May 21 1992 20:2712
    
    Someone mentioned it earlier, but I didn't hear a response...
    What about Mitchell or just plain Mitch Warren?  
    
    My preference is Myles; it just sounds the best with Warren,
    in my opinion.
    
    Melissa and Meredith are both nice for a girl.
    
    Are you a Jungle Book fan?  There's always Mowgli.  Haha

775.17SELL3::FAHELAmalthea Celebras/Silver UnicornFri May 22 1992 13:248
    Personal opinions following:
    
    I love the names Melissa and Meredith, but Melissa is quickly becoming
    extremely popular...I'd lean towards Meredith.
    
    I don't like Madison, Monroe or Montgomery - I like Mark and Mitchell.

775.18Mom's choice "Mark"RICKS::WARRENWed Jun 10 1992 14:0212
    Mark James Warren
    3 weeks early
    mom & Mark doing fine
    8lbs 5oz, 21"
    100% natural childbirth
    
    So its Matthew, Mark...
    
    Luke Warren sounds too much like 'luke warm' 
    so if there is to be a third maybe another "m"...

    Congratulations on the birth of Mark!
    
    On the subject of biblical names, I heard of a family recently with
    four sons, Matthew, Mark, Luke ... and Pat.  It struck me as amusing
    anyway! :-)
