    bye the way, where is MQOSWS located ?
    
    

    I really like some of the names listed.  And it seems that you
    pick four names and use the fourth to call the child.
    
    So how about these combinations:
    
    Denise Kristine Willeke Bianca
    Irene Cynthia Fransje Xanne
    
    Albert Gerard Karel Nicolas
    Jan Martin Quint Sjaak
    
    Chris

MQOSWS is Montr�al, Qu�bec, Canada.

I was really glad to learn that Vincent is a dutch name and
we had already talk about the name Bianca, so we will certainly
keep that in mind.

Yes, we usually put at least three names those names will
probably be for a girl:

Denise  (my mother)
Nicolas (my husband name)
        (the godmother name) We haven't choose yet
        (the baby usual name)

for a boy:

Arnold   (my Nicolas's father)
Nicolas  (for husband name)
         (the godfather name) We haven't choose yet
         (the baby usual name)

Since it is only for April 93, we have still some time to
think about our choice.

Please continue with your suggestions.

    Hi Diane,
    
    From what you just said, your names are almost decided once 
    you pick the god-parent:
    
    Denise Nicole ________ Bianca
    
    Arnold Nicolas _______ Vincent
    
    I think that is a nice way to name the babies (after family 
    members).  It creates a special bond between the new baby and
    the person being honored in this way.

At my last ultrasound, we found out that it will be a boy so we are almost
decided for a boy name.

It is suppose to be (until we change idea again)

Arnold Nicolas Michel Renaud
                      ------

I know, we forgot the dutch name but we could not get to only one.
We found also a name for a girl just in case (but we never changed our mind
for a girl.  We found it much easier to find a girl name than a boy.

Denise Nicolas Giselle Bianca
                       ------

I have only 6 more weeks to go and only 4 to work.  I am very anxious to see
the little face of this one.

I will try to find someone to let you know when I get this one.

    
    Your final choices are very good sounding together.  I hope the next 
    weeks will pass quickly for you.  Best of luck.

Just to let you know the my son was born on March 31 on the 
exact date he was expected.

It was a big boy 9 pounds 12 onces and 20 1/2 inches long.

Every thing went fine and he is a pretty good baby.

His names are

Michel  (His godfather name)
Arnold  (His grandfather name)
Nicolas (His father name)
Gabriel (His usual name)

Yes we changed his name at the last minute.
