459.0. "Middle Name for Austin" by WFOV12::BRODOWSKI () Mon Nov 13 1989 10:30

    I would like some suggestions for a middle name for Austin.  I had
    originally chose Nichols.  I really don't care for it anymore. 
    I am due January 4th!  Can't wait.
    
    All suggestions will be helpful.
    
    Thanks,
    Denise

    Funny.  Some friends of mine had a baby not long ago, and they named
    him Austin Nicholas!
    Is your last named Browdowski?  How about Austin Michael? Or Austin
    Robert?  I think that a 2 syllable name is called for to flow smoothly
    with you last name.  Any suggestions anyone?

    I still think that a one syllable name will go better, but that
    is just IMHO.

I also liked the Lee suggestion.

P.S. What name did you pick if it's a girl? (Or do you already know it's a
     boy?)

    Thanks for all the suggestions.  I like Mitchell, and Michael so
    far.  If we have a girl I have chosen Kaileigh Ryan.  One thing
    thou, my Hubby is not too comfortable with Ryan as a middle name
    - he believes it should be used for a boys name.  What do you all
    think?

    Is Ryan a family name?   Like your maiden name?  
    Kaileigh Ryan I like that, but if it is not
    a family name I wouldn't use it.
    
    Kaileigh Marie???  How about Austin James?  My
    father's name was James Austin.
    
    Good luck, maybe it will be a New Years Baby, and 
    you will receive free gifts from stores!

Ryan is a boy's name.  I wouldn't use it for a girl's middle name unless,
as -.1 said, it was your maiden name.    
459.8Love it!SKETCH::BOURQUETue Nov 21 1989 08:469
    I absolutely love Kaleigh Ryan.  Where it will be her middle name, it
    will not be used much and when it is it will be used in conjunction
    with Kaleigh, so people will know it is a girl's name.  I think it is
    neat and different!!  If it is your maiden name or a family name, that
    much beter, but even if it isn't, I still love it!!  
    
    (perhaps you could change the pronunciation to Rye-ann to appease your
    husband, but don't change the spelling!!!...hee hee!)
    
459.9Ryan. YES!USWAV1::POTHIERThu Nov 30 1989 11:417
    I beg to differ with the previous notes that didn't like Ryan. 
    I think it's a beautiful middle name or even first name for a girl!
    Didn't anyone ever watch Ryan's Hope when it was on TV?  On of the
    main characters was a beautiful woman named Ryan.  These days there
    are many names that can cross over to be for a boy or a girl. Ryan
    is one of them.  So stick to your guns!  and good luck!

    First of all... my suggestion for a boys name Austin Tyler. For
    Kayleigh Ryan I think its fine if she goes by her first name. Speaking
    as a girl who has a boys name it can cause a lot of humiliation
    as a child.

459.11Austin JamesAIMHI::WHITENECKThu Dec 26 1991 13:358
    This is a late reply but I've never had an interest in babynames
    before.  Now that I'm expecting my husband and I are planning to name
    our son (if we have a boy) after my grandfather, whose name is AUSTIN.
    We think AUSTIN JAMES is nice.  Austin after grandpa and James after
    the baby's father.  I think it's nice using names from one generation
    to another.
