    Hi Jill -
    
    Any clues as to what sort of names you like?   Any absolute no's, 
    family names that you want to use, etc?

| 698.2 | Not a clue! | YUPPY::MARTINJ |  | Wed Jun 26 1991 09:45 | 11 | 
|  |     Hello Carol,
    
    At the moment I don't have anything in particular in mind.  My husband
    likes the names John, Paul etc for a boy; Mary, Sue etc. for a girl. 
    Not very imaginative I know.  I would prefer something a little more
    interesting or unusual.  Basically ... I've no idea!!!!
    
    If we have a boy I may use Charles as a second name; after my father
    but this is not definite.

| 698.3 | here's a few | TIPTOE::STOLICNY |  | Wed Jun 26 1991 11:34 | 30 | 
|  |     Jill,
    
    Alright, I'll have a go at it.   If your husband likes "traditional"
    names, I think a good compromise is to use one for the middle name.
    Personally, I think that you should choose something relatively 
    unique to balance your relatively common surname.  Here's some
    suggestions:
    
    For a girl:  Rachel Marie Martin
    		 Alicia Jane Martin
                 Tanya Jeanne Martin
                 Kelsey/Chelsea Lynn Martin
    		 Lindsey Jane Martin
    
    For a boy:   Alexander John Martin
                 Jeffrey Paul Martin
     		 Neil David Martin
    		 Garrett/Gary Steven Martin
    		 Derek Thomas Martin 
    
    Do any of those grab you?   As a general comment, I'd stay away from
    names that end in -in or -on or they'll kind of rhyme with the last 
    name (Kristin, Lauren, Jason, etc)
    
    Sometime it helps to have both parents write down a list of 10 or
    so names for each sex and then compare and see if there's any names
    on BOTH lists...gives you something to start with!
    
    Good luck,
    Carol

| 698.5 | Decisions! | YUPPY::MARTINJ |  | Thu Jun 27 1991 09:59 | 13 | 
|  |     Hello,
    
    Thanks for your ideas, I like Alicia, Olivia and Alexander, we
    will do as suggested by making a list of the names we each prefer,
    although my husband will probably keep opting for the "traditional" names
    which I am not keen on at all.
    
    Will let you know as soon as we have decided.
        
    Jill

| 698.6 | fun but sometimes difficult | AKOCOA::CASSIDY |  | Thu Jun 27 1991 15:33 | 22 | 
|  |     Hi Jill...
    
    I just had a baby boy in December and he was named 
    Robert John Cassidy III.   I was not so crazy about 
    a "traditional" name and all the names were used up like
    Bob, Rob, Robert, RJ so we call him "Trey" for the III
    I also have a daughter who was born with 4 others in the
    family...all within 4 months...so here's a few of our unique
    names in the family.
    
    		Tenli Elizabeth       Craig Thomas
    		Hali Annalise         Clark Regis
    		Courtney Brooke       Brandon Philip
    		Shyla Marie
    		Makenzie Rae
    		Capri 
    
    If I had a Girl her name was going to be Cameryn ..... Have
    fun naming your new little one...
    
    Linda

|  |     Jill,
    	How about Mary Wilene Martin for for a girl? Its traditional and
    the Wilene is unique. I agree with the John Charles Martin someone else
    suggested. 
 | 
| 698.9 | French Flair? | KBOMFG::LUXENHOFER | Positively positive! | Fri Jul 12 1991 06:57 | 6 | 
|  | How about a little French flair, like:
    Monique Ann Martin
    Michelle Ann Martin
  
    - Linda
 | 
| 698.10 | Another suggestion | CRISPY::HARDYA | Pas d'elle y Rhone que nous | Fri Jul 12 1991 10:38 | 8 | 
|  |     I think Louisa Martin with a one-syllable middle name sounds nice; how
    about 
    
    Louisa Rose Martin
    Louisa Ann Martin
    
    /Angela (whose own middle names have so many syllables I get tongue
    tied !)
