    I like:
    
    Lindsey Ann Pomeroy
    Serena Marie Pomeroy     (Just a coincidence, my first and middle names
    			      are Serena Marie) 
    Rebecca Lynn Pomeroy
    Meredith Noel Pomeroy
    Kimberly Ann Pomeroy
    Jacquelyn ....Pomeroy
    
    Just a couple of suggestions......
    
    Serena 
    
    :)
    
    
    

    I really love Marissa - even better since it uses both grandmothers
    names.  Shanine is very different, and I wouldn't use it for a
    first name.  But it might work as a middle name -
    Marissa Shanine Pomeroy!
    
    Marissa Brittany Pomeroy,is okay but the "Y" might be too much (although
    middle names are seldom used).  It could be adjusted to Bridget -
    Marissa Bridget Pomeroy.
    
    Marissa Stephanie Pomeroy has too many "s"s.  Maybe Stephanie Bridget
    or Bridget Stephanie.
    
    Chris

    I think a name ending in 'a' sounds best with your last name.  Marissa
    is a great idea.  Here are a few other suggestions: 
    
    		Laura Pomeroy
    		Lydia Pomeroy 
    		Kara Pomeroy
    		Melissa Pomeroy
    		Melinda Pomeroy
    		Melenie Pomeroy (I know this doesn't end in 'a' but like
                                 the name!)
    		Anna Pomeroy
    		Victoria Pomeroy
    		Sabina Pomeroy
    
    Just to name a few!  What are the other names in your family?  
    
    Cheers,
    Kimberly Anne   

    My son's name is Donald, my daughter's name is Susan.  My parent's
    names are Richard and Mary and his parent's names are Richard and
    Theresa.  My husband's sister's name is Maureen, my brothers name
    is Robert.
    
    My father suggested a combo of my brother's and his sister's...
    
    MOBOB!  What a nut!  He was just being a wise-guy.  
    
    I really like the names, Sabrina, Breanna, Brittany, Maresa, etc.
    But every time I mention one to my husband, he automatically says
    "no", without even thinking about it!  ERRHH!  
    
    Thanks for all the help!
    
    Keep them coming!
    
    
    
    Thanks for all the help!  
    
    

    I do not...I wait a second or two then say no......
    
    -Me

    Hi to both Parents,
    
    With Donald and Susan the names for your son and daughter, how
    about a name that would match up with them as well as honor 
    all 4 grandparents - Rachel Marissa!  Okay, so I stretched the
    Richard's to Rachel, but you already came up with Marissa for
    the 2 grandmothers.
    
    Just a thought.
    
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    
    Thanks.  There's something about the name Rachel that I don't
    like.  I don't know why.
    
    I have a feeling that we will NEVER agree on a girl's name until
    the baby is born and IF it's a girl, we will HAVE to agree. 
    Hence, it MUST be a boy!
    
    Thanks for all the help!

RE: .6 - Perhaps "hubbie" can explain his rationale (the thoughts that
occur in that second or two before saying "No") - i.e. "too long", "too
strange" "reminds me of someone I used to know..."  It can at least help
to understand what to avoid and possibly steer you in the right direction.
I figure you can't be ALL that tough since you came up with Shanine, right?

RE: .4 - I really like the sound of Melinda Pomeroy (maybe Rikki for a
middle name after both grandfathers?) and I think it goes well with Donald
and Susan.  I think something uncommon but not too unusual or oddly spelled
goes best with those two names (just my opinion, however).

Others (some mentioned by others) that I like are:

	Meredith (combo of Mary & Theresa)
	Marlee 	 (form of Mary)
	Monique  (is Pomeroy of French origin? English? ?)
	Markena	 (a bit different; nickname Markey)
	Brette	 (simpler variation of Brittany, Breanna...)
	Alicia	 (sounds pretty; uncommon; not hard to spell)
	Sara	 (strong & classic, to match Susan)
	Caroline (ditto)

So, what is your latest list of contenders?
Good luck in the search...

-Cori	

    
    I think it's a great idea if Dad (and Mom) can figure out why a name
    doesn't appeal.  I have heard reasons like: too common, too uncommon,
    too short, too long, too feminine, doesn't match with the others.  Are
    these among your criteria?
    
    By the way, since all this discussion is about a girl's name, do you 
    have a firm agreement on a boy's name?  What is it?
    
    A few more names to ponder:
    Rebecca
    Amanda
    Christine 
    Leah
    Lauren
    Jill
    Gail
    
    Chris

    Hi.  Unfortunately, daddy's shift ends at 2:45.  He'll have to
    reply tomorrow.
    
    Yes, he have already agreed on a boys name, JONATHAN MICHAEL.
    
    I also like Ashley.
    
    We already have a Christine, Melissa, Shawna and a few others in the
    family.
    
    I think the name that we finally do decide on, will probably just
    POP out at us!
    
    Thanks for all the input!
    

               Well I am back with Rebutal Part II the Movie:
               **********************************************
    
    To add some additional info not seen in Part I:
    
    o I am of Irish/Polish descent
    
    o I like names that are not common.  This stems from the fact that
      when my parents grew up and when I grew up, it seems that religion
      played a big part in the way people chose names.  They were Saint
      names, ie Kevin, Michael, Mary , Theresa.....You get the picture.
      I like names that are not seen as much or names that are completely
      different.
    
    o This is my first child, (Donald and Susan are from my wifes first
      marriage) and I want something that is special, something that tweeks
      my senses alittle.  Donald was named after her ex's brother who passed 
      away and Susan was a name that one of the parents liked....I don't like 
      naming children after someone or because the parents like the name. 
      I also hate, yes I mean hate, Juniors or III's.  To me that is the
      lazymans way to do things.
    
    RE: .9 & .10 -  My rationale is that if it doesn't touch me the right way
    then i don't like it or if the name reminds me of something else.
    For example:  The name Brittany reminds me of a dog (Brittany spaniel).
    The name Shanine hit me one night while watching TV.  I have never
    heard it before or have I seen it in any books.  It is a sorta spin-off
    of Shannon (a name I like anyway). And it's different.  As for too
    common, not too common, too short, too long, I usually only dislike
    common names.  Alot of people say that a name should be picked that
    falls into the "amount of syllables".  I stray away from this.
    
    I like the following names:
    
    Shannon
    Stephanie
    Shanine
    Sara
    Lezah
    
    *************************************************************************
    ** Also alittle dig at my wife is, she also says NO right away after I **
    ** say a name.                                                         **
    *************************************************************************
    
    
    Again this is a first for me and I want something special, something on
    the unique side, something that is not used very often.  First come
    only once.
    
    Thanks for all the input anad look for REBUTAL Part III the movies
    coming to theaters and notesfile this winter in an area near you!!!

Kevin,

Well, that explains a lot... It kind of surprises me that your boy's
choice is Jonathan Michael, given what you've said about uniqueness... but
that's certainly your perrogative and hey - if you've both agreed on it,
that's the important thing.  I'm just saying that we noters were only
trying to come up with names based on the choices you (Peggy) already made, so
perhaps that's why they seemed too common...

Anyway, I like all the names on your current list.  I think Shanine sounds
a little like Janine to me (unless I'm saying it wrong), but it's still
very pretty. She would likely end up having to spell it for everyone, but
this is true of MANY names, even seemingly ordinary ones, so I wouldn't
let that keep me from using it.

Since you said Irish/Polish, that made me think of one of my old favorites:
Shea (or Shay).  Or a few more ideas:

	Dania		Selina		Erica		Bailey
	Kayla		Melina		Madison		Ashlynn
	Kelsey		Sharisse	Valerie		Alexa
	Shelby		Carley		Sheridan	Chloe
	
I still do like Maresa too... -- good luck!

    
    Well, I look forward to the III edition.  Number 2 was interesting.
    
    I did find another name for you.  Holly.  If it feels okay, then
    I'd offer Hailey, Molly, and Sally for consideration, too.  In my
    opinion, I really like Holly - which instantly reminds me of
    Christmas and happiness - and Hailey - which reminds me of Hailey
    Mills.  She was a delightful, fun-filled English actress as a
    child, always doing exciting things.

    I can't do a Rebutal III till the S.O. replies but I will instead just
    do a simple screenplay:
    
    RE .13
    
       I want to thanks you and all the noters in here for some terrific
    input.  The names you all have entered give us more to think about.
    As for the name Shanine, yes it is pronounced similar to Janine.  The
    Name Jonathan Michael does fall into the catagory of common and it is
    breaking a small boundry I have set.  The name Jonathan we chose
    because my favorite aunt lost a child at 4 months during her pregnacy.
    We both thought it would be a nice gesture.
    
    It seems though that since we can't figure out something that we both
    like or agree on that it will be a boy....
    
    RE .14
    
       The next movie will probably be out this week.  When I get tired,
    I get creative......
    
    Stay tuned to the "Same BAT channel, Same BAT time..."

    Hi all,

    The S.O.'s response...

    Re:  .13  I really like the name Sharisse!  I think that's beautiful!
              Hubby said "ah"...

    Re:  .14  Chris,  I like Hailey also.  Don't care for Holly though, for
	      some reason, it reminds me of garland or something...

    Thanks for all the input!  I'm sure we'll figure out something!

    Hi,
    
    We are expecting our second child, and can't come up with a girls name that
    goes well with a last name that begins with "P" and has 3 syllables --
    guess we are in the same boat.
    
    When I read your note, I immediately thought of Leah (Lee ah).  What do
    you think?  If you like it, I may request your help too!
    
    good luck
    
    Beth

Well, here's more "food for thought" for girls names (from a name book):

	Polish		Irish

	Alina		Anna
	Amelia		Blair
	Celina		Brenna
	Halina		Briana
	Jana		Brina
	Julita		Cara
	Kamilla		Ciara
	Karin		Fiona
	Lidia		Glynis
	Katrine		Juliane
	Madde		Moira
	Minka		Sheelah
	Natalia		Sheena
	Paulina		Tara
	Roza		Tessie
	Vanda		Vanessa

    RE .18
    
    The two from that list that stike me the most are Natalia and Fiona.
    I like the name Fiona because back in college I was the Lighting
    Designer and engineer for a play called "BRIGADOON".  It took place
    in the Highlands of Scotland where 2 hunters from NY encountered a town
    calld Brigadoon that showed up only once every 100 years.  One of the
    characters names was Fiona....But my wife just doesn't like the name.
    
    Thanks for all the input...It is being put to good use.

Hi all,

Well the kids and I talked about it in the car this morning and we're
starting to like the name Shannon (one of the names daddy likes).
Although we couldn't figure out a middle name to go with it!

To my S.O....  who said I didn't like the name Fiona?  Although,
I don't really think it goes well with Pomeroy!  

I still especially like the names, Maresa or Sharisse!

What happened to Rebuttal, Part III?
    

    RE .20
    
    It is still on location....in the making...
    
    

    How 'bout?
    
    Shaila Pomeroy
    Kelsey Pomeroy
    Chelsea Pomeroy
    
    ...
    

    HI all.
    
    Well, I'm sure daddy will put in his own reply.
    
    But, I think we came to a decision last night....
    
    If it's a girl, she will be named:
    
    ASHLEY FIONA POMEROY.
    
    I don't know if I like the Fiona, but hey, it's a middle name.
    I like Ashley!
    
    Thanks for all the help!

    I prefer Ashley Shannon Pomeroy...........
    
    S.O.
    

    Too many "sh's"....

    BTW _ WHen are you due?
    
    Let us know....
