| 93.1 | Plan to share the monogrammed luggage? | GIGI::TRACY |  | Fri Apr 24 1987 11:03 | 22 | 
|  |     reply
    Congratulations and good luck!
    
    Some ideas...
    
    D: David, Dylan, Daly, Daniel, Davin, Dean, Devlin, Derek, Dolan,
    Drew.
    
    M: MacAdam, McKenna, Mark, Michael, Matthew, Manning, Martin, Morgan
    
    A: (the everpresent) Ashley, Ashlin, Adrienne, Allyson, Andrea,
    Angela, Alexis, Amanda, Audrey, Audra.
    
    O: (This is a tough one) Olga, Odette, Olive, Oprah, Opal, Orea.
    
    
    Why not consider making the middle name a family name?  For example,
    is your "O" for Ostiguy?  Why not pass it on to a daughter?  My
    daughter's middle name is my mother's maiden name (wrong letter
    for you, though).  Just some ideas.

|  |     HI,
    
    My husband and I seem to change out minds each week as to what name
    to use.  The past few weeks, we've been pretty set on what we've
    picked, and it has nothing to do with initials.  We've been thinking
    about Amanda Paige and Andrew Marc.  
    
    We can of course change our minds again,,,,,,,,  who knows?

|  |     Hi.  Have you updated us about your status recently?  Is it twins?
    Have you decided on the name(s)?

    Another November baby, huh?  Or has that changed (to October 
    or December)?   I and two friends of ours are all due in November.
    
    Good Luck,
    Liz

|  |     Hi,
    
    .3 No, no twins.  There's only been one seen during the ultrasounds.
     (I had two ultrasounds).  Yes, we've changed our minds on the names
    again.  We've now picked Rachel Paige, and Chad Joseph.  We could
    change our minds again though.  Picking lifetime names isn't as
    easy as I always thought.  Joseph is my grandfather's name and out
    of his 7 children, 29 grandchildren and at least 6-8
    great-grandchildren there aren't any Josephs at all.  So I believe
    Joseph will keep.
    
    .4  Yes, I am due in November, 15th to be exact.  I've noticed alot
    of expectant mothers around work.  And you know, this is the first
    time I've haven't thought about early christmas shopping!  Too busy
    with other things.  (I'm sure you know what I mean).....  
 | 
| 93.6 | November baby too!! | ARCANA::APTEST |  | Fri Sep 25 1987 14:58 | 7 | 
|  |     Gee, my due date is November 17 and I am thinking about early Christmas
    shopping.  In fact I have most of it done already.  I can't see
    myself lugging a newborn and hauling a 2 year old through the malls
    in late November/early December.  GOOD LUCK with your baby.

| 93.7 | Another November baby! | RICKS::STLAURENT |  | Wed Oct 14 1987 08:12 | 22 | 
|  |       Hmmm.  Must be something catchy.  We're also expecting our first
    child on November 3rd.  Less than 3 weeks away, give or take
    2 weeks, of course. :-)  
    
      We've also done a lot of Christmas shopping, because the thought 
    of carrying a newborn around the malls doesn't sound like fun. 
    Of course, there's always more Christmas shopping to be done.
    
      We've decided on Patrick Joseph if it's a boy, but we're still
    trying to decide on girl's names.  (My French grandmother's reaction
    was amusing - "An Irish name?".  Attempts at trying to explain that
    Patrick is of Latin origin were futile.)
    
      Possible girls names are Cassandra, Melissa, or Kimberly.  The 
    problem is finding a short middle name (for obvious reasons) that 
    sounds pleasing.
    
    
     Good luck to all with their babies.
    
         John

     Kimberly Ann was born on November 12, 1987 at 8:05 am.  Her and
    Mom are both doing well, Dad is already a little ragged.  Hopefully
    they both will be coming home later this morning (and then the real
    fun begins 8-).

| 93.11 | STEPHANIE MAIE | BPOV09::DEBBY |  | Tue Dec 01 1987 14:57 | 26 | 
|  |     This note is for anyone expecting a baby (preferably a girl) soon.
    
    I had my first (and only) child on April 24th 1986, and I am new
    to the NOTES file.  I named my girl STEPHANIE MAIE, and unfortunately
    its seems to be getting more popular everyday.
    
    As most of you expected parents have found out, you have or will
    be going through a million names until your baby is born.  I too
    went through the BABYNAME SYNDROME.  I finally decided on April
    20th, 1986 that I wanted to name my girl Stephanie.  I was watching
    the "NEWHART" show, and saw the character Stephanie, and I said
    to myself: Its a pretty name, not too common - why not !!
    
    Her middle name was suppose to be Mary, but I did not think it sounded
    good.  She was born in April, so I thought about April for a middle
    name, but that too did not sound right.  Well, then I thought of
    May, changed the spelling a bit to make it prettier, and out came
    STEPHANIE MAIE.
    
    I like it, my daughter likes it  --- so we're both happy and that
    is what counts !!!
    
    Good luck to all you fellow Syndromers !!
    
    Debby

|  |     Hi, I started this note and I just came back to work.  Yesterday
    was my first day.
    
    My son, Jonathan Lloyd was born Nov. 28th at 5:59 am.  We hadn't
    picked the name Jonathan Lloyd until 6 days before his birth.
    We are all doing fine.  Life is so full of joy these days!  I love
    it!

| 93.17 | trying for our first baby | HOCUS::MARON |  | Tue Jul 19 1988 12:17 | 14 | 
|  |     Hi Eveyone!!!
    
    I am not expecting yet, but my husband are trying.  This is our
    second month "at it", last month we thought for sure "it worked"
    but we were saddened to find we would have to try again.  I think
    this "club" is great!  We have already started to argue over names.
     I have chosen either Amanda or Daniel for a girl and either Jeffrey
    or Daniel for a boy.  I am so excited.
    
    Oh I almost forgot, my name is Ellen Maron.  I am a secretary for
    the Volume Sales District in NY.

|  |     Hi,
    
    I should start a new note because now I'm expecting my second baby!
    (I was the orginator of this note).  Now what's really funny is that
    although I don't know the due date as of yet, I expect it to be in
    November, same as with our first baby.  Feburary must mean fertile to
    me!  I'll be another hectic holiday season, but I can't wait!  I love
    tiny babies!  And I'm very proud of my son (16 months yesterday) and
    now he gets to to a big brother.....
    
    I haven't the slightest idea about names.  We didn't pick my son's name
    until a week after his due date!  Second babies being a bit more on
    time, (so they say) we better have decided by then......
    
    Anna

| 93.19 | You're right about that! | AKAMAI::KONO | Native New Yorker | Mon Apr 17 1989 21:40 | 6 | 
|  | 
    You're right about second babies... our first was 2 weeks late,
    our second was 2 weeks early.  They are 13.5 months apart ;-).
    
    Parenthood is a constant challenge, and we LOVE it.
