| 871.2 | Thanks | GVA05::ATKINSON | Just the facts kid | Thu May 13 1993 14:20 | 21 | 
|  |     Cori,
    
    	Thanks for yoour reply.
    
    I have 2 cousins named David, Wesley who are brothers and are ATKINSON
    !!! 
    
    I have another cousin named Eric.
    
    We like Evan and Nathan.
    
    I have always like Carley, with my wife liking the more formal
    Charlotte. We both like Ellen but didn't want to use it as it is to
    close to Alan. However we never thought of it as a second name. We now
    are considering it as a second name - thanks.
    
    Some namess my wife likes for boys are Thomas George & Andrew George &
    James George (but not keen with George). I like Davis George.
    
    Please keep the suggestions coming,
    A,J & E

| 871.3 | Christopher Atkinson | SOLVIT::BALBONI |  | Fri May 14 1993 12:56 | 14 | 
|  |     Alan,
    
    How about Christopher George.  We named my 6 month old
    Christopher, his middle name is Jeffrey after my husband.
    I think it sounds nice, Christopher George Atkinson.
    
    You also might want to put your name as the middle name.
    Christopher Alan Atkinson also sounds nice.
    
    Good luck.  I found this the toughest part of all....name
    picking.
    
    Denise

|  |     The old English name for Christopher is Kester, if you want to be
    different.
 | 
| 871.5 | Still Searching, we are we are | GVA05::ATKINSON | Just the facts kid | Fri Jun 25 1993 06:46 | 13 | 
|  |     My wife and I are kinda/maybe depending on the day/time in agreement
    sometimes. I think that pretty well sums up our discussions on names
    :-)
    
    We both like James George Atkinson. Actually it is the only name we
    have agreed upon.
    
    The girls name is much harder, which is funny because with our first we
    both agreed immediately onthe girls name and couldn't even find a boys
    name we both like. Good thing we had a daughter.
    
    Any other suggestions would be much appreciated,
    Alan, Jannine & Emily

|  |     After a few "chats" on the topic of baby names my wife and I came up
    with a few and would like your thoughts:
    
    Aiden George
    Evan George
    Alec George
    James George
    Thomas George
    
    
    Lauren Isobelle
    Charlotte Isobelle
    Carley Ellen
    Megan ......
    
    
    thoughts/comments/suggestions are welcomed,
    Alan, Jannine & Emily Atkinson

| 871.7 | Evan or Carley (or...) | AMCUCS::MEHRING |  | Tue Aug 03 1993 17:46 | 17 | 
|  | Alan,
So, any consensus yet?  Of your choices, I think Evan George is my favorite
for boys, with Thomas George in second place.  For girls, I kind of like
Carley Megan a bit better than Carley Ellen and the combo of Lauren Charlotte
(just because Isobelle is so many syllables and letters with a long last name
like yours).
So, I would "vote" for one of these:
	Evan George Atkinson		OR	Carley Megan Atkinson
	Thomas George Atkinson 			Lauren Charlotte Atkinson
						...Megan Isobelle Atkinson?
Best of luck as the big date approaches next month!

|  |     Well ...... the big day is less than .... 16 days to be exact. Jannine
    and I still do not know whether it is a boy or a girl, so we are
    getting pretty excited.
    
    We have pretty well narrowed the names down to:
    
    
    
    Aidan George Atkinson     OR     Lauren Isobelle (nope not a typo)
    
    
    We think that both of these names go well with our daughter's name of
    Emily Kate. 
    
    What does this elite forum think? Any other thoughts/comments,
    everything accepted and considered.
    
    Will keep you posted and will look for any additonal replies.
    
    thanks, 
    Alan & Jannine & Emily

|  |     Hi,
    I really like both names.  I only knew one man named Aiden and he
    was kind, gentle, smart and really a nice overall person.  I have
    liked the name ever since.  Lauren Isobelle is pretty, feminine,
    and unique.  I think you got 2 winners!

| 871.10 | Getting close! | AMCUCS::MEHRING |  | Thu Sep 09 1993 19:34 | 10 | 
|  |     Alan,
    
    I also like both names, although Aidan does seem awfully close to Alan
    (IMHO)... I assume you've already considered and dismissed this, but
    just in case, I thought I'd point it out.  Not that it's bad to be
    close, just may cause a little confusion down the road, etc.
    
    Best of luck as the BIG day approaches!

| 871.11 | thanks for your comments | GVA05::ATKINSON | Just the facts kid | Sat Sep 11 1993 18:00 | 8 | 
|  |     We thought that Alan was a short "A" name vs Aidan being a long "A"
    name, thus making enough of a difference.
    
    Thank you for the being our "sounding boards", we're happy to have
    received positive responses.
    
    Will keep you posted,
    Alan, Jannine & Emily

| 871.12 | Aidan George Atkinson | GVA05::ATKINSON | Just the facts kid | Wed Sep 22 1993 09:18 | 13 | 
|  |     On Tuesday Spet 21st morning 1:08 am AIDAN GEORGE was born. A health 52
    cm and 3.92 kg baby.
    
    	Mother and son are both doing well.
    
    
    Thank you for all of your suggestions which were of great help.
    
    We have used this forum for advice twice now and if all goes well, we
    will be back.
    
    Until then,
    Alan, Jannine, Emily and Aidan
