893.0. "Suggestions???" by TFH::CKELLER () Fri Jul 30 1993 17:27

    We are looking for an uncommon name, but can't agree on anything
    together.  I'm not due until March, but I am sure it will take us that
    long to agree on names.  I like the name Dylan for a boy.  Any
    suggestions for a middle name?  He likes the name Dallas, I don't but I
    said it would be ok for a middle name.  
    
    For a girl we liked Paige, Alyssa, Amanda.  Any suggestions to go with?
    
    Thanks,

    A suggestion for a girl's name: Amanda Paige Keller.

893.2Melina Paige or Darren Scott?AMCUCS::MEHRINGFri Jul 30 1993 18:2722
Cheryl,

Well, I think Amanda is quite popular these days, so if you really want
something "uncommon", I'd opt for either Alyssa or Paige (for a girl).
Dylan is nice, but sounds a bit trendy to me (but not as bad as Dallas!).

Here are some possibilities that I think sound good with Keller:

	Alyssa Paige		Dylan Timothy
	Melina Paige		Austin Michael
	Samantha Paige		Bradley Dallas
	Lyndsay Paige		Justin David
	Sabrina Paige		Adam Lukas
	Kimberly Paige		Matthew Kyle
	Mackenzie Paige		Darren Scott
	Shannon Paige		Garrett Dylan
	Alicia Paige		Wilson James

You're lucky to have such an easy last name to match, but I know it
still takes time to come to agreement on these things... Good luck!

    What's your name and your husbands (first and middle) and how about
    your maiden name?
    
    How About: 
    
    Girls:			       	      			Boys: 
    
    Saige Amanda Keller (my favorite!)	       	Tyler Keller
    Vanessa Keller 		       	   	Jaron Keller 
    Kimberley Keller 	 		       	Leif Keller 
    Kassandra Keller 				Bron Keller
    Kileen Keller				Kurt Keller  
    Kasey Keller           			Wesley Keller 
    Kelsey Keller                               Craig Keller 
    						Dylan Keller  - sounds good
    						Kyle Keller  
                                                Dallas Keller - sounds good 
     
    (Some of the K names also look pretty spelt with C  ie. Cassandra, Casey) 
    
    Well, I'm Feb. 27th, but I say more March 11th.  My son is 
    
    			Eric Joseph Phelan ( he will be 1 yr.old on 8/11)
    
    I love his name.  He will be 19 months old when the baby is born.  I 
    am thinking of Gregory Edward for a boy.  Gregoria was my grandmothers
    middle name (after her father Gregory) My husband is Edward John
    Phelan)  Eric has his Dad's initials E.J. Phelan  (Joseph was my hubi's 
    father's name) 
    
    I also am trying to think of a few more boys names that aren't to
    common.  BUt I DO like some of the common names.  
    
    		BOYS:				GIRLS:
    		Gregory Edward                  Heather Phelan
    		Michael Edward                  Gretta Phelan 
        	Tyler Edward (hubi likes Tyler) Michelle Phelan 
    						Saige Phelan 
    						Jillian Phelan 
    								              	
    
    Not sure on Middle names..      Well, really not sure on ANY names yet! 
    Any suggestions people?

    SORRY,  I don't think I should have rambled as I did in my reply.  I
    should have started my own note after I gave you your suggestions.  
    Anyone replying to names for my baby, please reply to NOTE from PHELAN 
    in Directory.  THanks!  
    
    
    Christina
893.5Thanks!TFH::CKELLERMon Aug 02 1993 20:3015
    Thanks for the help.  That's ok if you ramble on.
    
    My name is Cheryl Elaine, don't want either of them for a baby.  My
    husbands name is Scott O., the O stands for Oliver and our son's name is  
    Benjamin Oliver for that.  My maiden name is King, so forget that.  
    We thought about Scott for a middle name if its a boy, but not sure if
    we should since it usually goes to the firstborn son.  I like some of
    the suggestions that have been given.  I guess it will probably take
    right up until the baby is born to be really certain of a name that we
    both like.   Keep the suggestions coming.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Cheryl
    
893.6AlaynaMPGS::PHELANTue Aug 03 1993 16:0021
    I think it's o.k. to give a 2nd son Dad's 1st name as a middle name. 
    I think it's considered "not fair" if the 2nd boy has dad's name as a
    first name.  My cousin's 3rd child and 2nd son has his dad's name as a
    middle name. His dad is: Perry David, Mom is Dorothy Olive
    		 son is:     David Oliver
                 daughter:   Olivia Mary 
                 son:        Dominic Perry
     
    I think Scott would be a great middle name for a boy.  Your 1st born
    has dad's middle as his and 2nd boy could have his 1st for middle.  My
    son has his Dad's initials, E.J.P. and if I have a boy in Feb. then he
    will have Edward as his middle name (which is his Dad's 1st name)
    That's already a definate.  (once I find a 1st name of course!) 
     
    How bout Olivia Keller for a daughter??  
    Or Alayna Keller is pretty too!  (The 1st and last "a" are short -
    middle "a" is long sound)
    
    Bye for now!
    
    Christina 
893.7What do you think?TFH::CKELLERFri Aug 06 1993 18:189
    We came up with a couple from the suggestions.  What do you think?
    
    Alyssa Paige Keller  			Austin Dallas Keller
          or                               		or
    Cassandra Paige Keller                      Seth Dallas Keller
          or                                            or 
    Kassandra Paige Keller                      Seth Jacob Keller
    
    Cheryl
893.8Alyssa or Austin!AMCUCS::MEHRINGFri Aug 06 1993 18:4411
Cheryl,

Of those, I really like Alyssa Paige Keller and Austin Jacob Keller (oops!).
The reason Austin Dallas strikes me odd is that both are names of cities in
Texas, but otherwise I like both names.  Actually, Austin Seth Keller isn't
bad either. Personally, I'm not too fond of that name Seth, but it's just my
opinion of course...

Sounds like you're getting a lot closer - congratulations!

-Cori
893.9Deceisions Decesions...MPGS::PHELANTue Aug 17 1993 18:098
    I like Kassandra Keller - Something about it is intreging!  It looks
    nice with a K since Keller begins with a K.  It compliments Benjamin
    also.  They both are similar in sylables (3) and sound.   
                                               
    I like Austin Scott Keller.  Or Jacob Scott Keller.  What about 
    Joshua Scott Keller 
    
                 
893.10This is so hard!TFH::CKELLERTue Aug 17 1993 18:246
    I think I like Alyssa the best.  Maybe Austin Scott.  I wasn't too fond
    of Austin Dallas, that was my husband.  I don't really like Jacob that
    much and Joshua is out because that is my nephew's name.  My favorite
    name for a boy is Dylan, but my husband won't go for it.
    
    Cheryl
893.11Alaina or Alayna MPGS::PHELANWed Aug 18 1993 14:208
    Austin Scott sounds real good together. (his initials would be
    A.S.K.) !!
    
    Dylan Scott Keller really goes WELL together also!!!  Alyssa Keller IS very 
    pretty!  You don't like Alayna or spelt Elaina?  Elaine is your middle
    name right?  That would be special!  
    
    
893.12Back to square one!!!!TFH::CKELLERTue Oct 05 1993 12:599
    Well we're back to square 1 with the girls name.  Two people that I
    know (1 a very close friend) just named their daughters Alyssa.  So
    much for having an unusual name.  We are definite on the boys name
    though, it will be Austin Scott Keller.  So how about some new
    suggestions!  I kind of like Paige for the middle name though it is not
    definite.
    
    Thanks,
    Cheryl
893.13A few more girl options...AMCUCS::MEHRINGTue Oct 05 1993 16:1324
Cheryl,

Well, here's another pass at some ideas that sound good with ___ Paige
Keller (by the way, I love the Austin Scott combo...):

	Cassidy		Christa
	Adrienne	Devon
	Alicia		Jenna
	Courtney	Lydia
	Angeline	Lindsay
	Audrey		Madeline
	Callista	Stephanie
	Carley		Marina
	Mikki		Melinda
	Alina		Kasey


For what it's worth, I also have friends with a *daughter* named Austin
(in case you really love that name even for a girl...).

I kind of like the sound of Cassidy Paige Keller or Angeline Paige Keller.

Best of luck,
-Cori
893.14Leslie PaigeRTOEU::KRICKSMon Oct 11 1993 07:4714
    Cheryl,
    
    I love the name Paige - as a first name or middle name.  How about: 
    
    Leslie Paige Keller 
    Sarah Paige Keller 
    Melanie Paige Keller 
    Pamela Keller 
    Cynthia Keller 
    
    /Kim 
    
     
    
893.15Kassandra Paige?TFH::CKELLERTue Oct 19 1993 15:076
    How about Kassandra Paige Keller?  I think that is my final choice
    unless I hear anything that I like better.
    
    Thanks for all your help,
    
    Cheryl
893.16devil's avocateKAOFS::M_BARNEYDance with a Moonlit KnightTue Oct 19 1993 19:347
    Cheryl,
    I like the name a lot (although I usually see it spelled with a "C")
    However, be ready for people to attempt to label her as "Kassie".
    
    Go for it!
    
    Monica
893.17KYOSS1::CHANGWed Oct 20 1993 12:225
    Hi Cheryl,
    
    I really like Kassandra Paige, too.  Best of luck to you.

893.18I'm back to workTFH::CKELLERTue May 31 1994 16:2016
    We ended up having a baby girl - My favorite Aunt suddenly passed away
    on the babies due date, so when we ended up having a girl we gave her
    my Aunt's name as her middle name instead of Paige.  We will call her
    Kassie for a nickname.  
    
    Kassandra Florence Keller was born on March 15, at 4:45 p.m.  She was 
    7 lbs. 10 oz. and 20 1/2".
    
    I just came back to work last week.  Boy is it hard coming back after
    being out of work that long.  Kassandra is now 10 lbs. 13 oz. and 
    22 1/2". 
    
    Thanks for everyones help,
    
    Cheryl   
                          
893.19KYOSS1::CHANGWed Jun 01 1994 13:075
    Congratulations on the birth of Kassandra Florence.  I am glad you
    could honor your Aunt by using her name.  It makes the naming more
    special.
    
    Chris
