521.0. "Help with middle names" by WMOIS::R_MONTGOMERY (Savin' the Best for Last) Thu Apr 12 1990 10:17

    Hi,
    
    We're expecting our first baby at the end of July.  We have a few
    first names picked out but are having trouble with middle names.
    
    	Boys			Girls
    	----			-----
    	Andrew			Meaghan
    	Jeffrey			Catherine (my Grandmother's name)
    	Christopher		Kelly	
    
    Our last name is Montgomery.
    
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Why not work with what you have?
    
    For instance:
    
    Christopher Andrew
    Catherine Meaghen
    Andrew Jeffrey
    Meaghen Kelly
    
    etc. etc. etc.

    or...  Andrew James...  Jeffrey Miles...  Christopher James...
    Catherine Mary...  Meaghan Leigh...  Catherine Leigh...
    (Sorry, I've forgotten the other girls' name you put down)
    
    Anyway, there are also lots more topics laying around on choosing
    middle names.  I personally, like going for taking a family name
    as a middle name.  For instance, you might want to give your son a
    middle name after a favorite uncle or grandfather, or even your
    maiden name.  You said Catherine was your grandmother's name...
    perhaps a middle name could be your mother's name???  I really
    like traditional, old-fashioned names (you've probably already
    guessed that because I put 'Mary' down) but the possibilities are
    virtually endless.  I like your last name...  Most everything sounds
    great with it.  Good luck and keep us posted.
    
    - Kathryn (my middle name is Ann)

    I agree with family names getting passed down.  Actually, there were a 
    couple of names on my list that are family names, Catherine, Mary,
    Andrew, Richard...
    
    Now the problem is which one my husband and I like the best.  I like a 
    versatile names that change as the baby grows.  Like Catherine.  There
    are so many variations like, Caty, Cathy, or Catherine.  I love the
    name Meaghan but I don't want her to be called Meg.  Well, we have 3
    months to think about it.  
    
    Thanks for all your suggestions.  I'll keep you posted.

    HI,
    
    A friend of mine is Keri-lyn Montgomery.  She named her daughter 
    
    (my God Daughter)   Morgan Christina Montgomery.  
    
    Her son is named:   Bryan Coleir Montgomery (middle is Cole e er)
    
    They have a cousin named Ariana Marie Montgomery (They call her Ari).
    
    Anyway, Montgomery is a classy last name - and sounds especially nice
    with classy easy flowing first names. 
    
    Good luck to you and your future family.
    
    
    - Christina

    Katheryn Elizabeth Montgomery was born (4 weeks early) on July 1st at
    11:49 a.m.  She weighed 6 lbs and was 18 1/2 in. long.  
    
    She decided to make her appearance early because we happened to be
    moving into a new home that weekend and we think she wanted to pick out
    her room first!  
    
    Thank you for all your suggestions on names.  We decided to go with
    Katheryn (after my Grandmother) and Elizabeth (after my husband's
    Mother).  We call her Katie!
    
    Until next time...
    
    Robin-the-proudest-mommy!!!
