573.0. "For Baby Steinhart? (starting with M?)" by ANDOVR::STEINHART (Toto, I think we're not in Kansas anymore) Mon Aug 13 1990 13:15

    We're expecting Baby Steinhart in October.  Looking for some ideas.  So
    far, we're pretty well set on Isaac John Steinhart or Ilona Jane
    Steinhart.  But other suggestions are welcome!
    
    We don't want to use the Celtic names so popular now, and are looking
    for an adult-sounding name the child can grow into.  Also, we don't
    want any unusual spellings (eg Chrystal) nor very popular names like
    Melissa or Jason.
    
    One thought - we'd like alternatives for a boy's name that start with M
    (after my grandmother).  But so far none thrill us, including Michael. 
    Any ideas?  Girl's names with an M would be welcome, especially a
    middle name for Ilona.  
    
    Thanks.

    "M" Boy's names....Miles/Myles is one of my all-time favorites
    (tho I'm not sure about Miles Steinhart because of the s's).
    There's also Mitch(ell) and Micah, if you don't want something
    popular.
    
    "M" Girl's names...Marina, Marielle, Mia come to mind.
    
    I personally don't care for either Isaac or Ilona but they do fit your
    criteria of "an adult-sounding name that the child can grow into".
    Of course, my son is named Jason so we clearly have different tastes!

573.3More "M" namesKYOA::CHANGTue Aug 14 1990 11:466
    The first "M" boy's name I thought of was Mitchell.  I also like
    Matthew.
    
    For a middle name for Ilona, Michele and Marie would sound good.

573.4More M & M'sLOOKUP::WHITCOMBWed Aug 22 1990 13:5721
    For me, the first male "M" names that came to mind were Mitchell (a
    good friend of mine) and Maury (short for Maurice, another friend). As
    those have already been mentioned, some of the others were:
    
    	Mark
    	Marcus
    	Michael
    	Melvin
    
    And for girls:
    
    	Melanie
    	Marie
    	Meghan
    	Marilyn
    	Michelle
    	Michelene
    	
    Good luck!
