| 429.1 | From the boy's name | STOREM::MARGOLIS |  | Thu Aug 17 1989 09:48 | 8 | 
|  |     Capitalizing on the boy's name which you both like, how is
    Elora Nicole Brodowski?  The full name has variation in the number
    of syllables (3-2-3), making the name appealing to listen to.
    
    Good luck!

| 429.2 | How about: | STORK::MASSICOTTE |  | Thu Aug 17 1989 11:35 | 12 | 
|  |     
    On the girls names, why not:
    
    Elora Daenon (like in the movie Willow)
    
    Mercedes (why not a relatives name of whom you and your husband
    are fond of -or- the name of the person who introduced you two)
    
    I love all of your choices!

| 429.3 | Certainly are unusual... | CHCLAT::HAGEN | Please send truffles! | Thu Aug 17 1989 12:36 | 11 | 
|  | >     Maddison Leigh
>     Elora (can't come up with a middle name)
>     Mercedes (can't come up with a middle name)
Where did you get Maddison and Elora?  Just curious ... I looked them up in my
babyname book, and Madison was found under "boys", and I couldn't find Elora
at all.
How about Elora Maeve?

| 429.4 | I love the unusual! | WFOV11::BRODOWSKI |  | Thu Aug 17 1989 13:01 | 10 | 
|  |     I was hoping that someone would find them unusual!  I heard the
    name Maddie some time ago and thought Maddison would be more formal.
    I came up with the name Elora, I think it sounds so peaceful.  Another
    person who sent me a reply said that they heard this name in the
    movie Willow.
    
    How do you pronounce Maeve?
    
    Thanks,
    Denise

|  |     re:-1
    Yes, I've always thought Maddie was short for Madelaine.  But
    anybody remember the movie "Splash"?  Darryl Hannah's character
    was named Madison - she got the name as she and Tom Hanks were
    crossing over Madison Ave. while they were discussing possible
    names for her.  She insisted on being called Madison even though
    Tom Hanks didn't approve.

| 429.7 | How about Foreign names | SMOGGY::AMIRI |  | Fri Aug 18 1989 05:59 | 23 | 
|  | If you want names that are different, how about some foreign ones.
This is a list of Persian names.  Maybe other foreigners can give
you some more from another country.
Because your primarily interested in Girl names, I clarified some
of them.

    SHO-ROGK	SHAH-NOZ
    FA-RI-BORZ	SHAY-DA
    FAR-HANG	FAR-ZO-NE
    KA-VON	MOSH-GON (the SH sounds like the SU in the word "meaSUre")
    BAH-ROM	SHEE-REEN (means "sweet")
    BA-HO-DOR	SE-TA-REH  (means "star"
    BAH-MAN	SHAHAR-ZOD

>    How do you pronounce Maeve?
    
Denise,
Maeve is pronounced like Mayve (rhymes with save).
I think Elora Maeve has a nice ring to it, don't you?

| 429.10 |  | KAOFS::S_BROOK | Here today and here again tomorrow | Fri Aug 18 1989 13:50 | 5 | 
|  |     Elora is the name of a small mill town in South Western Ontario,
    with Scots and Pennsylvania Deutch history.  So, my guess is that
    Elora is likely a Germanic variant of Laura.

| 429.11 | "Maeve" | WFOV12::BRODOWSKI |  | Fri Aug 18 1989 14:04 | 11 | 
|  |     RE:  pronunciation of Maeve.
    
    Lori,
    
    Thank you, it does sound really nice.  By the way, my maiden name
    is Mavis - my husband always calls me Mave.  This combo sounds like
    a winner to me!! 
    
    Thanks for your suggestion.

| 429.12 | AUSTIN OR BRENNA?? | TOLKIN::SALLET |  | Tue Aug 22 1989 15:20 | 12 | 
|  |     Denise:
    
    I like the name Austin a great deal is its a boy.  My nephew is
    named Austin Miles and I think its really different.  Have you ever
    considered the name Brenna for a girl?  Its different and can't
    be shortened thats for sure.  Perhaps it wouldn't sound too good
    with your last name; not sure.  Anyone else out there ever hear
    of Brenna?  Read it in a book somewhere.  Anyways...I think Austin
    is great and different too....Elora Maeva sounds great too.  Good
    luck!
    
    
 | 
| 429.13 | IMHO | STEREO::FAHEL | Amalthea, the Silver Unicorn | Tue Aug 22 1989 15:47 | 7 | 
|  |     I have heard of Brynna (pronounced with a long I).  I like that
    one.
    
    My vote is against Elora Maeva.  Also against Austin; makes it sound
    as if the babe will be born with a cowboy hat on.
    
    K.C.
 | 
| 429.14 | a typo? | USWAV1::BRADISH |  | Wed Aug 23 1989 15:33 | 2 | 
|  |     Brenna can be shortened to Brenn.  It also looks like it may be
    a typo for Brenda.
 | 
| 429.15 | Madison Bailey | WORDS::SIMPSON | Igloo | Fri Aug 25 1989 11:01 | 8 | 
|  |     When my husband and I saw "Splash" he fell in love with the name
    Madison.  So, depending on if we end up wih two girls, the second
    one will be named, Madison Bailey.  I think it sounds nice together.
    
    Of course, we haven't had the first one yet. (Kylie Corinne) or
    even a boy, but we're working on it...!

|  |     re:.15
    
    Are you sure it was just the name he fell in love with? :-)
    I know my husband would go for any name as long as Darryl
    Hannah was playing the role!
    
    - Kathryn (just a little envious)
    
 | 
| 429.17 | Of course it was the name..... | WORDS::SIMPSON | Igloo | Mon Aug 28 1989 10:46 | 5 | 
|  |     Well........
    
    	I'm pretty sure...!  :-)

 | 
| 429.18 | My Vote | KAOFS::M_FETT | Its a Mystery to Me | Mon Oct 02 1989 15:24 | 15 | 
|  |     I like Elora Maeve, but I have the feeling that Maeve would be
    pronounced May-Eve by people reading it (I know I always do...I
    actually like it better that way).
    
    Just be warned that when people come across an unusual name, they
    usually pronounce or write it incorrectly. I think when I start my
    family, I will do as my parents did - get a name that people have heard
    before, but not one that's too common. I'm actually very happy with
    mine.
    
    Monica Fett-Barney
    
    
    By the way, I'm not sure about the Germanticity of Elora, but a variant
    that I like a lot - Elona - is definitely German.
