235.0. "MONIQUE" by MEO78B::COMBES () Mon Jun 06 1988 02:55

    Hi.
    
    My name is MONIQUE GABRIELLE CLARE COMBES.
    
    My father is Austrian (or was until he became an Aussie) and named
    me as such because he thought the French have such beautiful names.
    
    Why then did my Mother and Father call me 'NIKKI' straight after
    birth?  They say it's because I was premature and so small for such
    a big name.  Oh well.  I'm so used to Nikki that I hardly ever answer
    to Monique unless I'm on official business with the Government!!
    
    Also, I'm expecting my first child at the end of September, 1988
    and have chosen the following names:
    
    If it's a boy:  MATTHEW JAMES
    
    If it's a girl:  SASHA MAREE
    
    Hope you like them.
    
    NIKKI, DEC MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA
    

    By the way,
    
    SASHA is a nickname from the Russian ALEXANDRA.
    
    Regards,
    NIKKI.
