|  |     My neighbor's daughter's name is Alicia Ann.  She's about 5 months
    old (the daughter, not my neighbor ;-)).  I like the sound of it.

|  |     Ann was the first middle name that popped into mind for me, too.
    I like the sound of it, but wondered about the initials, AAK.
    It doesn't spell anything, but it sounds like something you say
    when you see something frightening!  Does anyone forsee problems
    with that?

|  |     Alicia was the name of my favorite babysitter when I was little.
    I used to name all my dolls Alicia.  Her name was pronounced
    A-lish-a, not A-lee-sha or A-lee-she-a.  
    
    By the way, people have had a lot worse initials than AAK.
    I wouldn't worry about that too much.  (As long as you're not naming
    her Aak or something.;^))

|  |     As long as the other kids don't read Bloom County you should be
    okay.  In the Bloom County comic strip there is a character called
    Bill the Cat who is weird, to say the least.  His most common "words"
    are "Pfftt!" and "AAK" (or some such spellings).  He also drools
    a lot.

| 139.5 | middle names, middle names.... | SHRBIZ::KULP |  | Wed Jan 13 1988 09:20 | 11 | 
|  |     Well, if it's a girl and if we go with Alicia, I've come up with
    Alicia Anne, Alicia Gail or Alicia Christine.  Any opinions?
    Why is it so hard to pick middle names?  We have such a short, hard
    sounding last name that I though Alicia Christine Kulp wouldn't
    sound so choppy.
    I can't ask my son's opinion any more... he says we're not having
    a baby or talks to my belly and tells the baby to go away.  We should
    have a really good time come April!

| 139.6 | "ALICIA ROSE" | FSLENG::DEMERS |  | Wed Jan 13 1988 13:40 | 7 | 
|  |     Hi,
    
    My "little" (now 22) sister's name is Alicia Rose.
    
    Most people really like it when they hear it.
    
    hope this helpful !

| 139.7 | what and where? | TADSKI::KULP |  | Wed Apr 26 1989 08:29 | 11 | 
|  |     Cliff,
    
    What does your name book say about the name Alicia?  I had two
    different books with two different meanings (I liked them both).
    Also, where does it come from?  Both books differed about that too.
    It would be nice to know if her name fits my happy little "baby
    monster".  She is pleasant and happy and very persistant at getting
    into everything and anything!

|  | 	Hi Robin:
	Sorry I didn't reply sooner, but DECnet or BABYNAMES or some-
	thing's been acting up, and I haven't been able to log on.
	No, Alicia doesn't mean "baby monster."  It's just a Latin-
	ized version of Alice.  Alice itself is ultimately from the
	Old German Adalheitus (sp?) and basically means "noble."  For
	anyone who's had a little German, this meaning is obvious and
	non-controversial.  It's pronounced (correctly) "uh-LISH-uh."
	What did you decide for the middle name?  I hope it wasn't
	Ann or Christine.  Remember, some of us have to live with
	the initials our parents gave us.

| 139.9 | Noble monster???? | TADSKI::KULP |  | Wed May 03 1989 07:54 | 16 | 
|  |     Cliff,
    
    Thanks for the information.  That was the one common denominator
    in the books - something along the lines of noble or truthful.
    I figured it came from Alice, so I had looked at that too.
    
    And yes we gave her the middle name Christine, just because it is
    a name I like so much.  (I would used it as a first name, but
    Grandad gets confused enough about her cousin Kristen.)  I figured
    the initials ACK weren't to bad.  A good friend of mine has the
    same ones and signs her mail that way!  So now we have MAK and ACK
    for our kids... hmmmm.
    
    Thanks again for the info,
    Robin
