| 762.1 | Olivia or Victoria? | TIPTOE::STOLICNY |  | Wed Jan 29 1992 16:45 | 9 | 
|  |     
    My immediate thought for a girls name would be Olivia - it's "strong"
    and you might like it since you like Oliver for a boy.  I also
    like Victoria, Alexandra, and Natalie for a baby girl Diaz.
    
    Sorry, I don't care for Batholomew and *really* don't like the
    nick name "Tholie".

|  |     Thanks, all the suggestions sound good to me (sorry I can't put
    Jacqueline on my list though, it's a "J").

| 762.5 | Lauren | PEKING::SMITHS2 |  | Thu Mar 05 1992 08:43 | 5 | 
|  |     
    How about Lauren for a girl?  "Lauren Diaz" has a lovely ring to it.

| 762.6 | I'm down to 2 for each | SWSCIM::DIAZ |  | Mon Mar 09 1992 14:27 | 24 | 
|  |     re:-1 Thanks for the suggestion of Lauren, but it's already used in our
    extended family.
    
    I think I wore my husband down, last time I mentioned Carolyn he said
    that might not be bad he could call her Carrie as a nickname. I've been
    using the tactic that if I keep mentioning my names one of them will
    catch on. So at this point I have the following names to choose from:
    
    Carolyn ? Diaz
    Samantha ? Diaz
    
    Oliver Neil Diaz
    David Neil Diaz
    
    We might be more inclined for one name over the other as we get closer
    or just wait until he or she has arrived. I'm heading more toward
    Carolyn because I've seen a lot of baby Samantha's lately or is that
    isolated.
    
    Thanks for a while there I didn't think either of us was going to bend
    and I would hate to pick a compromise name that neither of us really
    liked.

|  |     Re: .6
    
    I'm a Samantha!  I think Samantha Diaz sounds nice, but everyone calls
    me Sam and IMO Sam Diaz doesn't go so well.  Carolyn is nice.

| 762.9 | getting close | CIM::DIAZ |  | Fri Mar 13 1992 09:25 | 9 | 
|  |     Good point about Samantha being shortened, I didn't think of that.
    Just when I think we're close, my husband asks "what are we going to
    name it if it's a girl". Argh, I thought we had that narrowed down.
    
    Anyway, out of the blue my husband says he likes Erin for a boy.
    What do you think? Actually it's not too bad for me. Do you think
    it's too Irish for Diaz? 
    
    How about Erin Neil Diaz or Erin David Diaz?

| 762.10 | Erin/Aaron? | CIVIC::FAHEL | Amalthea Celebras/Silver Unicorn | Fri Mar 13 1992 10:21 | 3 | 
|  |     IMO...Erin is a "girl's" spelling...how about Aaron?

| 762.11 | only my opinion | TIPTOE::STOLICNY |  | Fri Mar 13 1992 11:28 | 10 | 
|  |     
    Yes, Erin is a girls' name and is Irish-Gaelic.    IMHO, I'd steer
    clear of something that is going to be an obvious ethnic mismatch
    with the last name, but that is just my opinion.
    
    As K.C. says, Aaron is the male version of that pronounciation
    and is of Hebrew origin.    Aaron Diaz is okay; but I think you
    could do better!!

| 762.12 | Carolyn Victoria Diaz | SWSCIM::DIAZ |  | Wed Jun 17 1992 10:35 | 7 | 
|  |     It's a girl. We went with Carolyn Victoria. My husband came up with 
    Victoria, a feminization of Victor, my Grandfather's name. We had used
    his Grandfather's name for our first daughter's, Justine Emmanuelle,
    middle name. And of course we waited until after our sweetie was born
    to pick her name.
    
    Cheers,
