834.0. "ADDISON & ?" by USHS01::BROOKS () Tue Oct 27 1992 19:34

    
    
    Hello Everyone -
    
    I just found this conference and think it is GREAT!  My baby is due
    in April and we are searching for names.
    
    I think I have decided on a boy's name but have no idea for a girl.  
    The name I like for a boy is Addison Lee.  Do you have any suggestions
    for a girl?  Our last name is Brooks and I like unusual names.
    By the way, what do you think of Addison? 
    
    
    Thanks 
    
    Cathy

834.1	a few "unusual" options...	AMCUCS::MEHRING	`Tue Oct 27 1992 22:38`	31
	Cathy, Congratulations...and I think Addison is a nice name with Brooks - and not very common. Perhaps you would like Madison for a girl? Other possibilities: Bailey Angeline Lindy Mackenzie or Mackenna Rochelle Sheridan Boys: Wilson Harrison Gordon Duncan Keenan Griffin Wesley Mason Can you give any more clues as to what kinds of names you like for girls'? What is your ethnic heritage? You're lucky since Brooks is an easy name to work with! (I also have a nephew Gregory Brooks and niece Rebecca "Becca" Brooks...) Good luck, -Cori
834.2	More info.	USHS01::BROOKS	`Wed Oct 28 1992 13:21`	13
	I did consider Madison for a girl - but I find myself looking at common girl names with unique spelling such as Ashleigh and Alyssa. My husband and I both have French and English ancestors, but we have not limited ourselves as far as names. The only tradition is there must be an "L" middle name - this is tradition on both sides and we are running out of good ones. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
834.3	Middle "L" Names	KYOA::CHANG	`Wed Oct 28 1992 17:09`	28
	I do like both Madison and Addison for names. As for middle names beginning with "L" Boys: Lawrence Lee Lloyd Lyle Leonard Leon Girls: Larissa Lee, Leigh Leah Leslie Lisa Laurel Lauren, Laura Leila Lettica Lavinia Leonore, Leonora Good Luck to you, Chris
834.4	Here's an attempt...	AMCUCS::MEHRING	`Wed Oct 28 1992 19:55`	30
	Cathy, I like Alyssa, but don't ususally go for odd spellings of names like Ashleigh, so this is a tough one for me, but here are some thoughts (these are independent lists - not matched up): Girls First Middle Anjelika Lynne Jenivieve Lynette Viktoria Lorna Zandra Lorrine Chelle Lara Karley Lise Nicolette Lark Marlee Limerick Stefanie Luanne Boys First Middle Trent Landon Nicolas Logan Alec Lance Nathan Lucas So, what does your list of contenders look like for girls? The search continues... -Cori
834.5	Try a simple meaningful "L"	POCUS::PERETZS	`Mon Nov 16 1992 18:48`	7
	My son is Adam, and I am hoping his son will be Addison (son of Adam)! I love the name! As for the "L", have you considered just using the L? Harry S Truman is an example, the S stands for nothing. Friends of mine recently had a little girl, they named her Katherine Z Klien. No period after the Z, and the Z is not short for anything, just a Z. With your family history the "L" will stand for something, but it is a tradition not a "word" or "name".
