| First of all, is your last name Margolis? If so. . .
I like them all! I think
Erin Marie Margolis
Sarah Marie Margolis
Patrick Michael Margolis
are all lovely names.
You said your last name is Jewish, but to me it wasn't an easy one
to pinpoint ethnically so I don't think there's a real problem mixing
ethnic names in this case, where there might be in others. For example,
there's no doubt about the name O'Reilly being Irish, and Golinger being
Jewish. If someone asked me what I thought Margolis was, I would have
said English!
Anyway. . . I think you've made 3 excellent choices, good luck in
your decision!

I am of the opinion that the name Sarah can cross any ethnic
boundaries. It's a very neutral name. My great-grandmother
was named Sarah and she was completely and totally French. I
think Sarah is a beautiful name (it sounds so serene and tranquil
to me) and goes well with your last name. About the popularity...
at least it's not as popular as Jessica :-)
Good luck with your new baby!

| Hi Kelly,
I don't think you should worry about ethnical statements. If you and
your husband decide on a name which you both like then go with it.
You've chosen Patrick for a boy - why are you so concerned about an
Irish 1st name for your daughter? Anything seems to go with Margolis.
Erin is very nice and Sarah is also. You could use Erin Rachel or
Rachel Erin. Sarah Erin or Sarah Rachel. Rachel is very pretty. I
really haven't noticed to many people using Sarah lately. Honestly, I
don't think you have to worry about that being to common. You 1st name
is Kelly, I think Erin or Sarah would be nice. Sarah Kelly sounds
pretty. What is your husband's first name?

| 451.4 | I hope it doesn't become too popular... | HPSCAD::KNEWTON | There's no place like home... | Tue Oct 17 1989 10:34 | 11 |
| I'm also worried that Sarah will be popular. My first choice is
Sarah Elizabeth. Though, my husband likes Christine. I didn't
really want to go with Christine since it seems so common. For
the longest time before I became pregnant I had my heart set on
naming a girl Christine. I don't know what changed my mind. I
told him we could compromise and name the baby Sarah Christine.
I'm due Febraury 7 and have a feeling there's going to be quite
a few Sarah's born in the next few months. (Just my luck) :-)

| 451.5 | Sarah as a middle name | LANDO::FREIMAN | | Wed Oct 18 1989 11:14 | 14 |
| Chalk one up for Sarah.
My wife gave birth to a baby girl on Oct. 5th. We named her
Danielle Sarah Freiman
I've read through this file and through many books including
"Beyond Jennifer and Jason" which was somewhat useful. They practically
banned the name Danielle but we went for it anyway. As far as Sarah is
concerned, they consider the name a timeless classic. So although it has
been quite popular, it has also withstood the test of time.

| I love the name Sarah and my daughter's name IS Sarah Elizabeth.
I also knew it was common, but it didn't really matter to me.
I like -5's comment. It's a great old name. And Sarah can be
proud some day because she's named after my grandmother!
FWIW - She's the ONLY Sarah in her daycare of over 40 kids...
(all ages!)

| 451.7 | All the Sarah's I have met, were cute!!! | FSHQA2::JMCGINNIS | JOYCE_MCGINNIS | Tue Nov 07 1989 16:28 | 7 |
| I am expecting in the spring. My husband and I finally agreed on
a girls name, Sarah Ashley. Is the name Sarah really that over-used?
As you might have already guessed, my husband is Irish.

I don't know if it is all THAT popular right now.
I think Sarah Ashley is lovely. Go for it!

| I think Sarah is a very nice name. My mother is named Sarah. I
am expecting a baby in april, and if its a girl I am thinking of
naming her Sarah after my mother.
The meaning is even beautiful, which means princess.
If its popular, so what, its still a very pretty name.
regards
Myra

| For all the worry over a girl's name, our son Patrick Michael
was born in November. Maybe we will decide on a girl's name
before the next one is due! (Not scheduled yet)
Thanks for all the help!

| 451.12 | Ethnic History of Sarah | TROA02::JMORRIS | | Thu Apr 05 1990 11:50 | 22 |
| Readers of this note may be interested in one aspect of the "ethnic"
history of the name Sarah. After the Reformation, and particularly
amongst Quakers and other Puritans, some Protestant groups focused
considerable attention on the "Old" Testament as the key text of
their faith. Corresponding to this religious shift, such groups
also underwent a cultural evolution -- with one of more visible
effects being a new popularity of names from the Old Testament.
Of course, many such names are still popular, such as David, Sarah,
Deborah, Rachel, Rebecca etc., while other names, such as Abraham
(Lincoln being an example), Isaiah and Esther are found more
infrequently.
On the topic of the little fellow who stimulated all this discussion,
I offer my congratulations to the proud parents -- and on the selection
of a very handsome name -- Patrick, who's namesake is a hero of
Ireland and Michael -- one of four archangels mentioned in the Old
Testament and a name therefore popular amongst a variety of traditions.
Cheers,
John
