463.0. "Not another Junior..." by IOENG::PARADISO (The flag is a symbol of sacrifice) Thu Nov 30 1989 14:20

   Hi,

      My wife and I are expecting our first child on May 31st.  We've agreed
   on a name if it's a girl, but are having difficulty agreeing on a boys
   name.  She wants to name it Jr. , but I don't like the idea.  The last name
   is Italian and I thought of names that were Italian like Anthony (she 
   doesn't like Tony). I thought I'd ask some of you to help out a bit on what 
   you feel a good name might be.  We've read the book 10,000 babynames a 
   couple of times, but never seem to agree on a name (we don't argue, just 
   disagree).

						       Thanks in advance,
                                                 David Leonard (yuc) Paradiso

463.1Some suggestionsSTEREO::FAHELAmalthea Luincarandir/Silver UnicornThu Nov 30 1989 14:4811
    So, I guess that Leonard is out?  ;^)
    
    How about Leo?  (That's my father's name.  I don't think that it's
    Italian.)
    
    I know 2 Italians (VERY Italian) whose names are Christopher and
    Samuel.  I lean towards Christopher.
    
    That's it!  Christopher Leo Paradiso!  (maybe?)

463.2How about Nicholas?SUBWAY::BELFIELDFri Dec 01 1989 13:171
    How about Nicholas or Michael?
463.3Some more suggestions....ENGINE::BOURQUEMon Dec 04 1989 12:147
    I am very partial to the name Nathaniel.  And with this name, when
    people go to shorten it to make a nickname, it would be another nice
    name, Nathan.  If you want something Italian-sounding use an Italian
    middle name....ie..Nathaniel Nico Paradiso, or Nathaniel Antonio
    Paradiso.  (not personal favorites mind you, just some thoughts!)
    
    Good luck!

    			-< Another suggestion ... >-
    
    How about Alfio Antonio Paradiso ????  I recently met a guy named
    Alfio and had never heard the name before.  Figuring this person
    would have a VERY Italian last name I asked him... he responded
    that his last name was "Wilson" !! :*)
    
    	Best of Luck !

  re:all

         Thanks for all the reponses.  I already have two nephews with the
   names Nicholas and Michael.  Guess we're going to go with the flow since
   we both like the names

          Christina Marie Paradiso, for a girl
                      and
          Anthony Domenic Paradiso, for a boy

							Thanks,
