243.0. "Taja Leigh" by MERLAN::BOUCHARD (ONE STEP UP AND TWO STEPS BACK) Wed Jun 15 1988 17:09

         My wife and I are expecting in late Nov. and are considering
    all sorts of names.  We want something different, but not outrageous!
    I thought of the name TAJA LEIGH if it is a girl.  We both liked
    it, but other people think it sounds more like a pet name than a
    name for a child.  Then the Taj Mahal (sp?) jokes started, so we
    are considering other options.  We seem to be leaning toward Alyssa
    this minute, but Nov. is still a long way off!
    
         Any opinions about Taja Leigh or other derivations?
    
    By the way, if it is a boy, the name will be Branden Taylor.

243.1	I like Branden...	JINGLE::EVERETT	`Thu Jun 16 1988 11:36`	12
	I like Branden Taylor for a boy...good choice. As far as Taja Leigh is concerned...I like the uniqueness of it but when you just think about "Taja" it kind of reminds one of other things...i.e. pet's name, Taj Mahal,etc. Maybe Tanya instead of Taja? I do like Alyssa..it's different..and that's a nice way to spell it. Good Luck...dawn
243.2	Taya Elizabeth?	PLEXUS::V5REGISTRAR	`Fri Jun 17 1988 12:49`	11
	How about "Taya" (Tae-ya, not Tye-ah)? That's the name of a good friend of mine. I always thought it was simple and pretty. I like Taja Leigh, too. Just though you'd want to know that there's a porno actress with a name very similar. My sister told me that. She's up on these porno "actresses" names, since her name (and it's not too common, either) is the same as an actress in "the business." She even has a vague resemblance of the girl. Everywhere she goes, people see her I.D. and never fail to comment. Stacie

	I also like Taja. It sounds a little like my aunt's name Nadja - I'm not sure I have the spelling right but it is a Polish or Russian name. I always liked it. I don't think Taja Leigh sounds like a pet's name, but then my pets have PEOPLE names anyway - Jimmy, Sadie, Daisy, Jenny,etc.
243.4	Alyssa Marie	USRCV1::MACFAWNG	`Wed Jun 22 1988 14:17`	10
	My daughter's name is Alyssa Marie. My best friend delivered 2 hours after me and named her daughter the same, but with a different spelling - Allysa. Everyone has complimented me on that name. I love it. Taja isn't as bad as some names are. I went to school with a girl named Hasanduymaz. (And she was American!!!!) Alyssa's mom
243.5	MORE SUGGESTIONS	GAO::NKING	`Sat Jun 25 1988 07:24`	21
	HELLO, I LIKE TAJA LEIGH, BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE SUGGESTIONS, AND WANTING TO KEEP THE LEIGH TANYA LEIGH DANA LEIGH LAURA LEIGH ANNA LEIGH TARA LEIGH SARA LEIGH LET US KNOW LATER ON WHAT YOU BOTH DECIDE REGARDS NOREEN
243.6	I don't think so	TWEED::E_FINKELSEN	`Fri Jul 01 1988 08:21`	12
	< Note 243.5 by GAO::NKING > > TANYA LEIGH DANA LEIGH > LAURA LEIGH ANNA LEIGH > TARA LEIGH SARA LEIGH I wouldn't recomment Sara Leigh (even spelled this way) for obvious reasons. Then again, "Nobody doesn't like Sara Leigh."
