|  |     I like Paige and Kelsey.  Here are some suggestions:
    
    Boys		Girls
    
    
    Zachary		Arianna
    Jordan		Suzette
    Mitchell		Melanie
    Brian		Melissa
    			Theresa		
    
    I know what you by saying Hello to the child with a name not just Baby. 
    With my first, I went into the delivery room with four nams picked
    incase I didn't think the baby looked like the name I picked.
    
    I hope these help!!!

    Sorry to say for your husband, but I don't think Chloe Howard sounds
    too good.   Neither do I care for Jade Howard.   Both seem too unusual
    for a relatively common surname, but that's just one person's opinion!    
    
    On the other hand, I think that Paige and Kelsey are excellent choices.   
    Would you consider using your first name as a girl's middle name.
    I think Kelsey Dale Howard sounds great (and Kelsey Rae has always
    been a favorite of mine)  Though maybe you should consider having this 
    child's name start with an "R", then you'd have Candace, Ryan, Chase, 
    and R___ (C,R,C,R).   Just a  thought (albeit weird!)
 
    For a boy, I like Drew, Evan, and Ian.   I think Evan and Ian both
    sound great with either Michael or Matthew as a middle name. 
    
    Good luck,
    Carol
    
    P.S.  Chase Bennett - what a nice name!

| 638.3 | A few ponderings | STEREO::FAHEL | Amalthea Celebras | Tue Jan 29 1991 15:39 | 13 | 
|  |     I'm going to be the odd-ball.  I just can't get myself to like the name
    Kelsey.  Paige is an OK name, but a little over-used right now.  Chloe
    Howard, like .2 (Carol) said, doesn't sound too good.  That leaves
    Jade.  Sorry, too unusual.  I'd just as soon name her Amethyst, or
    Emerald.  ;^)  (I prefer flower names to stone names).
    
    Another name you might want to avoid, is Maureen.  She'd be called "Moe
    Howard" for sure!  ;^)
    
    Anyway, of your choices, I would have to go with Paige.  Of course, you
    might try the flower names (Rose, Lily, etc.)

| 638.4 | What do people think of Ross? | PRIMES::HOWARD | Dale Howard @DCO | Tue Jan 29 1991 16:19 | 12 | 
|  |     (.2) Carol,
    
    I can't believe you took the time to notice that we have a "C" name,
    and "R" name, then another "C" name!!!  How observant (it was not a
    grand plan, however, I thought another "R" name would be perfect!
    
    So I said "Ben, how about another "R" name?  I like Ross!  (He doesn't
    like that one either.)
    
    Doesn't Ross Benjamin Howard sound nice?
    
    Anyone?

    I really like Ross and it sounds pretty good with Benjamin as a middle
    name.   You might also consider Ross Andrew Howard.    Can't think of 
    any other "R" names for a boy that I do like though (Randall, Russell, 
    Richard, Robert, etc).
    For girls, there's Robin, Rachel, Rochelle, Renee, Ruth (don't like it!),
    Rose....my favorites being Robin and Renee which both sound great
    with Howard.

| 638.6 | A few more "R" names | STEREO::FAHEL | Amalthea Celebras | Wed Jan 30 1991 12:34 | 12 | 
|  |     Gee, Carol and I don't seem to agree on much.  I LOVE all of the male
    "R" names she mentioned (including Ross), and as for the girl "R"
    names, I love Ruth and the others listed, but dislike the name Rochelle 
    (although I have to admit that it is for extremely painful and personal 
    reasons).
    
    Other "R" names:
    
    Boys - Roland, Raymond, Ronald, Roger, Roy, Ralph (not a personal fave)
    Girls - Rose, Regina, Rosalyn, Rena, Rhonda, Roxanne (!)

|  |     Hi, 
    
    A nice way to get the "jest" of how all you family names will sound
    together, is to list them out as you would signing a birthday card.
    
    Your family names remind me the old west.  They compliment each other
    sooo well!  If you want to keep with the "format" and choose a R name 
    for your next child - how about these....
    
                          Love from, 
    
                        Dale and Benjamin,
                Candance, Ryan, Chase and Raleigh  (boy) soft a sound    
    
      or
                           Love from, 
       
                        Dale and Benjamin,
                Candance, Ryan, Chase and Rainey (girl)   
           
    
                           Love from, 
    
                       Dale and Benjamin, 
                  Candance, Ryan, Chase and Lacy   (not an R name, but...)
    
    others are:
    
    girls:                boys:
    
    Roxie                 Randy
    Randi                 Rex
    Risa                  Ricky
    Rena (Ren like Ben)   Rory 
    Rebecca               Russell
         
    Callie                Chad

| 638.12 | My two cents | TLE::TLE::ZAHARCHUK | Kathy Z. | Sun Feb 03 1991 15:43 | 13 | 
|  | 
	Hi Dale,
	Congratulations!!  Of all the names that have been mentioned so far,
	I like Ross for a boy and Paige for a girl.  They both sound good
	with Howard.  Bill and I have been agonizing over a boys name for
	months now.  We finally have a short list of boys names that go with
	Zaharchuk pretty well.  Since I'm due in about 7-8 weeks, we really
	need to make a decision.
	Good luck choosing!!

| 638.13 | Caleb | OBSESS::PHELAN |  | Mon Feb 25 1991 14:30 | 1 | 
|  |     Caleb is also a nice boys name.  It means bold. 
 | 
| 638.14 | Emilia Howard! | MAMTS3::DHOWARD | He who laughs, lasts! | Wed Mar 06 1991 16:37 | 26 | 
|  |     This is the base noter again.  Still haven't made any name decisions,
    but thought I would ask your opinion.  The other day I saw a name on a
    talk show that I thought sounded wonderful ... Emilia (when they spoke
    of her they pronounced it like Amelia).  The reason it looked so
    startling to me is that it is a combination of my Grandfather and
    Grandmothers' names (they had died before I was born).
    
    Emi|le        and       Ze|lia     =      Emilia!!!!
    
    Since I wear my grandmother's wedding ring (it never had to be sized
    although I'm the third generation to wear it), and Emile and Zelia's
    initials and wedding date are engraved on the inside -- this name just
    seems so special!
    
    Emilia Elizabeth Howard  (Elizabeth was my husband's mother's name)
    
    
    Any thoughts?   or how about incorporating my husband's middle name
    (family name)  to    Emilia McBurney Howard?????
    
    Don't hold back -- what do you think?
    
    BTW, don't be mislead that we know it's a girl -- we don't, and we're
    still open to suggestions for a boy's name as well!

|  |     Emilia is Italian...that's all I know.  I like it, tho!  I lean towards
    Emilia Elizabeth.
    
    I think that is so special that you found a name that so fits
    everything!  I say GO FOR IT!  It is a lovely name.

    connection to both of the names

|  |     Three for Emilia Elizabeth!!! It is beautiful, and graceful sounding!!
    She will love the fact that it is so family connected!!!
    
    as for a boy.......?
