501.1Spottetta? ;^)STEREO::FAHELAmalthea Celebras, LuincarandirMon Feb 19 1990 09:5311
    It's too bad that your last name is HOPE.  I have always found that a
    nice first name.
    
    Let's see; old English:
    
    Elizabeth
    Anna
    Anastasia (not sure of that one)
    Christiana

    I just had a baby girl 4 months ago and we named her Allyson.
    I think that sounds nice with Hope.  Of course it could also
    be spelled Alison or Allison, but we liked it with a Y.
    
    How about Elizabeth (like previous note [500]), or Melanie, or
    Melissa?  I think Hope is nice last name to work with.  You should
    probably go for a name with more than one syllable, however.  I
    think 3 syllable names sound nice with one syllable last names.
    Too bad my daughter's name is such a mouthful!
    
    Anyway...  about boys' names...  Benjamin sounds nice, or Colin,
    or Evan, or (my favorite) Ian.
    
    Good luck and keep us posted!

    I'll second the previous replies of Elizabeth and Evan.  I think
    they both sound great with Hope...
    
                                        Good luck

501.4A tiny piece of advise:STEREO::FAHELAmalthea Celebras, LuincarandirMon Feb 26 1990 07:168
    I just thought of a name NOT to give to the little Hope:
    
    Karen.  But for only one reason:  Karen Hope (Care and Hope) is too
    open for teasing.  
    
    I'll also vote for Elizabeth.

501.5STILL STUCK FOR A BOYRDGENG::HOPETue Feb 27 1990 09:478

              Elizabeth Hazel Pamela
    
    Still stuck for a boy though

501.6A few to consider...WR2FOR::HARPHAM_LYThu Mar 01 1990 16:5119
    
    Hmmm... some good old English names for a boy...
    
    Perhaps "William" (nickname "Wills"?)
    or Andrew,
    or Benjamin,
    or Timothy,
    or James ("Jamie"),
    or Samuel,
    or Geoffrey....
    
    Good luck!

    its OK I had a girl(which was lucky as we had still not decided on boys
    names) 7-5-90 at 1a.m. and we have called her
              Elizabeth Hazel Pamela
