496.0. "Last name: Winship" by FENNEL::MACDONALD_K () Fri Feb 09 1990 09:39

    Hi all...
    
    My daughter's babysitter (Jeannie) is pregnant with her second
    child (due in May) and I've told her about this notesfile...
    Her last name is Winship - husband's name is Timothy and their
    little 2-year-old (he's such a sweetie!) is named after his
    dad.  They've decided on Jacob if the new baby is a boy, but
    haven't settled on a girls' name yet.  Jeannie likes names that
    begin with "A" but also loves the name Ivy - which, unfortunately,
    her husband doesn't like at all.  Maybe you folks have some good
    ideas for them.  I've suggested Amy for a girl and, of course,
    Ian for a boy although I like Jacob, too.  If any of you have
    some ideas...  put 'em down!  I'm sure she's appreciate unbiased
    opinions - and you guys are all such great babynamers.
    
    Thanks,
    Kathryn

How about Amanda with her name as the middle name?
	Amanda Jean Winship
Abagail?
Jennifer?

I don't really like the name Jacob.  It's just that I can't picture a baby
being called that.  It sounds like an adult name.  I like Jake, though.

    re:-1
    
    Yes...  I see what you mean.  Most biblical names tend to sound
    a little oldish, but I LOVE the nickname Jake.  I mentioned it
    to Jean, but I can't tell whether or not she liked it.  Your
    idea of using her own name as the baby's middle name is nice.
    I like Amanda Jean...  I'll run it by her.

    I also like Amanda Jean. And what about Alicia (I better like it
    the french way: Alice (a-lis))
    
    Jake is a beautiful nickname (but Jacob is awful).

    My 2 1/2 year old is Alexandra (we call her Alex and it fits her
    perfectly) - I'm pregnant with my second now due VERY soon and are
    thinking about Abigail (Abby) for this one.  I also like Alyssa but not
    for ours - too close to Alex.
    
    I've been so happy with Alexandra that it's been very hard to come up
    with a name I like as much for the 2nd (although it could be a boy and
    I wouldn't have to worry about it).
496.7FENNEL::MACDONALD_KWed Feb 28 1990 08:055
    I LOVE Abby!  Sounds like a good choice to me.  What do you have in
    mind for a boy's name?
