313.0. "BOY'S NAME DISPUTE!!" by GRECO::MOREAU () Fri Oct 21 1988 12:26

    I am expecting a baby in mid-February.  My husband and I have chosen
    names but disagree on the boy's name.  If it is a girl, her name
    will be:
    
    Jillian Marie
    
    if it is a boy, my husband wants the name Carl (my name is Carol!)
    and I want the name Kevin (Michael will be his middle name).
    
    Which do you think sounds better:
    
    Carl Michael Rosinski ...or
    
    Kevin Michael Rosinski.
    
    I think Carl is to much alike to my name (Carol).  If I decide to
    give in to that name, I want to spell it with a K.
    
    Karl Michael Rosinski
    
    Any input appreciated!

T.R	Title	User	Personal Name	Date	Lines
313.1	<just one opinion>	AKOV12::SILVERIA		`Fri Nov 04 1988 09:04`	3
	Personally, I like Kevin. In New England it seems like most people tend to pronounce Carl like Cal (I'm from the midwest where they don't leave out r's!!!)
313.2	I vote for Kevin	BITS1::HAGEN		`Tue Nov 08 1988 11:46`	4
	I, too, vote for Kevin. I wanted to name our son that, buy my husband didn't like it either. Carl isn't a bad second choice, but I don't like Karl - it reminds me of Karl Marx, the founder of Communism.
313.3	Kevin, of course	CEADSS::KORDOSKY		`Fri Nov 11 1988 07:09`	6
	I vote for Kevin also, I don't like the name Carl (even spelled with a K ). My son is named Kevin Paul, and we're expecting our second in April. He (if a boy) will be Michael Lee. Kim
313.4	another vote fer Kevin!	SHRFAC::MCROTEAU		`Tue Nov 15 1988 11:10`	8
	Kevin......awesome combo with your last name...go for it! mary
313.5		WORDS::KRISTY	Certified Hug Therapist	`Tue Nov 15 1988 19:23`	8
	ditto for Kevin... re: back a few: You shouldn't lump all of New England together for folks not pronouncing their 'r's... the only place I've run into that is here in the Southern NH-MA area. -- Kristy (from Northern Vermont where they pronounce their 'r's.)
313.6	Still trying to persuade him!	AKOV12::FITE		`Tue Nov 22 1988 09:36`	7
	Thanks for all the replies. I may print this whole file to show my husband. He still likes Carl though. I think I may be able to persuade him in the LABOR ROOM! I know that's sneaky, but what choice do I have. I also thought, what if this kid doesn't look like a Kevin (or a Carl), then we go for Neil! Carol
