11.0. "Courtenay" by 3158::DAVIS (Grins) Tue Jul 15 1986 15:29


    I have also seen this spelled Courtney although I prefer the
    spelling above...
    
    I expect it's an Irish name and have always liked the sound
    of it... would appreciate it if anyone has any further 
    information about it...

T.R	Title	User	Personal Name	Date	Lines
11.1	It's not an Irish name	SCOMAN::MALLOY		`Fri Jul 22 1988 11:04`	3
	Just to set the record straight. This is a French name and the meaning is rather unimpressive. It means "The girl who lives at the court."
11.2	just my opinion	USWAV1::BOARDMAN		`Tue Nov 29 1988 12:49`	3
	I like the spelling "Courtney" better. Don't ask why...
11.3	Courtney	GAOV08::TCOMER		`Thu May 25 1989 11:57`	4
	Courtney is a very common name in Ireland. It is a surname used here. Sometimes people have used it also as christian name.
11.4	Courtney	NEST::SWILLIAMS		`Wed Oct 09 1991 11:59`	4
	I really like the name, but think I would spell it Courtney. This is one of the names I have picked out when I have children. (For a girl)
11.5		SELL1::FAHEL	Amalthea Celebras/Silver Unicorn	`Thu Oct 10 1991 10:19`	7
	I know a little girl named Courtney. She's pretty, smart (sometimes TOO smart) and stubborn. There's also actress Courtney Cox (who I really don't like, but that doesn't detract from the name too much). K.C.
