842.0. "fd" by GBMMKT::VINCENT () Fri Dec 04 1992 13:53

    I am due May 15 with our second child, we have a girls name picked out,
    but have been going back and forth with a boys.  
    
    Our daughters name is Katlyn Joy (Joy after my family where the first 
    daughter born has that middle name - I have it and so does my Mom).  My 
    husbands name is James Dale - we wanted to use his name for this child,
    boy or girl.  What do you think...
    
    	Boys:
   	 Ryan James Vincent
    	 Tyler James Vincent
    
    	Girls:
    	 Jordan Dale Vincent

842.1What do they mean....GBMMKT::VINCENTFri Dec 04 1992 13:599
    Sorry about the subjet - I hit a couple of keys accidently and then
    couldn't figure out how to get back and correct it.
    
    I also wanted to see (an after thought) if anybody knew the meanings of
    these names.
    
    
    Thanks
    Robin

    Hi Robin,
    
    I think it is a cleaver way to use your husband's name for either
    a boy or a girl.  I like both boy's names, although Katlyn and Ryan
    seem to match the best.  Jordan Dale matches well with Katlyn, too.
    
    Best of luck to you.

842.3A few suggestions...AMCUCS::MEHRINGTue Dec 29 1992 21:2417
Robin,

Well, I like the names you listed, but have a couple of general comments.
Do you mind if the two names end with the "in" sound? As in: Katlyn/Ryan/
Jordan/Robin... Some people prefer it, but usually I think it sounds bet-
ter to have a different, yet complementary name.  Like: Katlyn/Sean/Jenna.
It's hard, though, because so many good names end in the "in" sound!
Shannon, Erin, Lauren, Stephen, Nathan, Evan, etc. etc.  How about:
Patrick James Vincent, Connor James Vincent, or Bradley James Vincent?

Secondly, I see Jordan Dale as very unisex, since either name could be
for a boy or a girl.  Usually I think it sounds better to make one of the
names obviously female for a girl, to balance it.  Maybe Jenna Dale or
Dale Jessica or Courtney Dale or Valerie Dale?  Just my opinion, of course.

Good luck deciding,
-Cori
