| 137.1 | good choices | SHRBIZ::KULP |  | Mon Oct 12 1987 11:13 | 11 | 
|  |     I think they both sound great.  I don't have my good babyname book
    - loaned it out to my office mate who's due before me - gotta get
    it back soon too...
    Anyway, I think they are fairly popular names right now, but not
    too common.  
    
    Like I said, I think they are great names with the last name.  Can't
    see any problems with them, like nicknames or anything.
    Good luck,
    robin

    I really like both names.  Just be prepared that both Ryan and Megan 
    are both VERY popular right now and there will be lots of other
    kids with the same name as your child's.  (But that's just because
    they're such nice names, right?)  By the way, Ryan--which is a family
    name for us--is our daughter's middle name.
    
    I've seen Megan listed as a variation of Margaret.  I don't remember
    what Margaret means, but I think it's somewhere else in Babynames.

    James Colin sounds nice.  We have friends who were undecided between 
    James Colin or James Connor for their son.  However, in their case,
    they're using his middle name (J. Connor Donoghue) and decided on 
    Connor because Colin was too close to their daughter's name (Cailin).
    
    I would love to have a book on Irish first names.  Do you have the
    publisher's information on that book?  Maybe I can send away for
    it.

| 137.5 | Margaret means... | CSC32::ANNIN |  | Tue Oct 20 1987 18:18 | 2 | 
|  |     Megan is usually listed as a derivitive of Margaret (as noted before).
    Margaret means ' a Pearl' (of course one of great price)
