926.0. "Boys name to go with McGeehan" by DKAS::MCGEEHAN () Mon Jan 24 1994 13:16

    Can anyone help us come up with a boys name (both first &
    middle?)  We're expecting #3 in early August & already have two boys:
    Robert Thomas and Seth Conor.
    
    The problem for us is that we both come from very large families,
    dominated by *a lot* of males, so there already is a number of
    duplicates.  We've had a girls name picked out all along (Meghan
    Kylie), but haven't had a chance to use it yet! 8-).  
    
    I personally like the sounds of many names of Celtic/Irish origin, but
    can't come up with a likely combination (some names I associate with
    people I'd rather not remember, etc).  At this point, however, we're
    open to any ideas, so if any of you have some, please post them.
    
    Thanks,
                                               
    Linda

926.1	here's a few	STUDIO::POIRIER	`Mon Jan 24 1994 13:56`	11
	Sean Robert McGeehan Ian Garrett McGeehan Garrett Michael McGeehan Patrick John McGeehan Just a few that come to mind. Youve got a good surname to use, could you mention those you have ruled out?
926.2	re: -.1	DKAS::MCGEEHAN	`Mon Jan 24 1994 16:28`	20
	re: -.1: It's not that we've necessarily ruled any out, just that some are a bit overused in the family. Examples: For first names: Thomas, Daniel (although I'd still like this one, but my husband's not too crazy about it), John. There are some first cousins that all our kids will be very close to, and their names are: Sean, Christopher, Michael and Tommy I kind of like Patrick John or Daniel John, since my father's name is John (and so's one of my brothers), and it would be nice to use his name as a middle name. I've always loved the name Sean & my husband does too, but we're just not sure about "re-using" a name with a close young relative also having it too. Thanks for the ideas though - keep 'em coming! Linda
926.3	Go Irish	AMCUCS::MEHRING	`Mon Jan 24 1994 17:04`	21
	Linda, Some more ideas for you: Shane Daniel McGeehan (close to Sean, but different) Eric John McGeehan Gordon John McGeehan Colin John McGeehan Timothy John McGeehan Bradley John McGeehan Bryce David McGeehan Paul Brian McGeehan I also like the previously suggested Garrett and Patrick. Lots of things sound good with such a great, Irish last name! Best of luck to you deciding. -Cori
926.4		KYOSS1::CHANG	`Tue Jan 25 1994 09:13`	6
	Just one more name to offer - Kenneth Daniel McGeehan. Best of luck to you. Chris
926.5		SPARKL::WARREN	`Tue Jan 25 1994 15:37`	2
	Patrick Sean?
926.6	more....	XPOSE::POIRIER	`Tue Jan 25 1994 16:05`	9
	Linda, What about Daniel John (DJ)? or, Griffin Michael, Michael Patrick, Kevin John??? I had selected Connor Douglas and Sean Robert for boys (love those Irish names) -beth
926.7	Hadn't thought about Griffin	DKAS::MCGEEHAN	`Wed Jan 26 1994 09:18`	10
	Thanks for the feedback! Keep it coming...I hadn't thought of the name Griffin - that has kind of a nice sound to it. My husband Bob likes the name Kevin too -- his older brother's name is Kevin though, so they'd both end up with the same name "Kevin McGeehan". We have a ways to go, so we're keeping tabs on all the options. Thanks again for the ideas. Linda
926.8		KYOSS1::CHANG	`Wed Jan 26 1994 09:40`	5
	Since you like Kevin, how about Kenneth? It is close but still different. Chris
926.9	Couple more...	AMCUCS::MEHRING	`Wed Jan 26 1994 17:48`	10
	Or, how about: Brendan John McGeehan Jeffrey Daniel McGeehan I like Griffin, too, but it doesn't seem to "match" as well with Robert and Seth (just my opinion, though). Best of luck, -Cori
926.10	How about Declan?	RTOEU::KRICKS	`Mon Jan 31 1994 09:07`	5
	How about Declan McGeehan? I have 2 Irish friends with the name Declan. Cheers, Kim
926.11	Maybe you'll have your Meghan!!	MPGS::PHELAN	`Tue Feb 01 1994 11:55`	21
	Robert, Seth and Bryan McGeehan Robert, Seth and Keith McGeehan Robert, Seth and Patrick McGeehan Robert, Seth and Craig McGeehan Robert, Seth and Curtis McGeehan (Curt) Robert, Seth and Evan McGeehan Robert, Seth and Wesley McGeehan Robert, Seth and William McGeehan Good Luck!! Christina (who's due FEBRUARY 27th and STILL not sure on names, so it doesn't get easier as you get closer!!) heeeee..
926.12	Joshua Ryder McGeehan	DKAS::MCGEEHAN	`Mon Feb 28 1994 13:06`	19
	Well, barring any changes of mind, we think we've come up with a name we both can agree on -- Joshua Ryder McGeehan We both like the name Joshua & don't mind Josh if others call him that. But we were still having trouble with agreeing on an Irish (or even "right" sounding) name (at least right to us) 8-) Then I thought of my Irish grandmother -- her maiden name is Ryder. I thought her name might be interesting since I have heard it used as a given name before. She's also been doing so poorly these past two years, we think it will cheer her to hear that her name is being used. Thanks again to everyone for helping! (Feel free to keep adding -- we still have a ways to go & you never know what a pregnant woman will change her mind on!) Linda
