    Hi, I'm going to be a grandmother in about 2 weeks. My daughter
    needs help with a girls name. The boys name will be 
    Alexander Michael McKenna. (Alex for short)
    
    How about a girls first and middle name. This is what is being tossed
    around at the moment. Oh, the name has to be able to be abbreviated
    into a nickname.
    
    Kassandra (Kassie)
    Hally (pronounced Hal-ee) (not sure if this is the correct spelling) 
    Caitlyn (the dad doesn't really like this, but were working on him :)
    Erin (nickname is a problem here)
    Aimee (this was the first choice, but ever since the TV movies about
           Amy Fisher, it has lost popularity.)
    
    Don't like anything too odd for a first name. Help with middle names to 
    match the above would be real helpful.
    
    Thanks,
    Marcie

| 848.1 | Hally out Jaime in | NODEX::MMCKENNA | Tue Jan 05 1993 14:31 | 5 | |
|     Since my first note, things are still very unstable. Seems Hally is
    OUT and Jaime is in. 
    
    Please help, all suggestions welcome.

| 848.2 | Devon or Lyndsay? | AMCUCS::MEHRING | Tue Jan 05 1993 17:52 | 16 | |
| Marcie, Of the names listed, I like Erin and Jaime the best, and actually like them combined: Erin Jaime McKenna (nickname could be "E.J."?) A few other ideas: Abigail Jane McKenna "Abbey" Devon Michelle "Dee" or "Dev" Danielle Kate "Dani" Lyndsay Rae "Lyn" Maybe it'll be a boy and she won't have to choose - I like her boy choice a lot. Good luck, -Cori | |||||
| 848.3 | Jaime Caitlyn | KYOA::CHANG | Wed Jan 06 1993 09:26 | 4 | |
|     If Jaime and Caitlyn are still in the running, how about joining
    them up - Jaime Caitlyn McKenna.

| 848.4 | We have a Jamie | MR4DEC::DONCHIN | Wed Jan 06 1993 16:16 | 20 | |
|     Our daughter is a "Jamie," which we (hubby and I) found was the more
    common spelling for a female. Of course, where we grew up (the NYC
    metropolitan area) we only knew of females named Jamie (in New England,
    where we live now, there are both male and female Jamies--all of which
    we've met that are spelled Jamie, not Jaime). The "Jaime" spelling, we
    believe from our research, is a male name of Spanish origin (and is
    pronounced "hymie"). We've noticed that Jamie is becoming more popular
    for females than males here now, which, if true on a wide scale, will
    make it easier for our daughter in schools and organized activities
    (we always register our daughter as "Jamie Michelle Donchin" so that
    the adminstrators/organizers realize that she's a girl from the start).
    
    Obviously, my husband and I think Jamie/Jaime is a beautiful name. It's
    nice to hear that others think so too.
    
    Good luck!
    
    Nancy Donchin (Jamie's mom)
    
    Obviously, we think

| 848.5 | Thanks! | NODEX::MMCKENNA | Wed Jan 06 1993 16:40 | 7 | |
|     Thanks for the replies, and for the correct spelling of
    Jamie. I personally love Jamie (was my choice for a girl's name
    14 years ago when my son was born.) But, unfortunately (or perhaps
    fortunately) I don't get to choose the name this time. I can only
    offer suggestions, so thanks for the help!

    Thanks for the help!!

    P.S. I knew it was a girl because of all the trouble we had picking
    a name.
