682.0. "Suggestions for ATKINSON please" by GVA01::ATKINSON (Just the facts kid) Thu May 16 1991 08:34

    Hello,
    
    My wife and I are expecting our first child at the beginning of
    October. We have talked about a few names but have been able to agree
    on too many. May we ask for this forum's opinion for both boys and girls
    first and middle names for the last name of "ATKINSON".
    
    Thank you very much in advance,
    Alan & Jannine Atkinson

682.1Emily?CNTROL::STOLICNYThu May 16 1991 11:0111
    
    What type of names do you like - traditional, trendy, biblical, 
    strong, cute, etc?
    
    Anyways, I would normally suggest a short first name to complement
    Atkinson, but the first thing that came to my mind for a baby
    girl is: 
    
    Emily Atkinson....I think it sounds great!

    Carol,
    
    This is the name that I like, my wife is "neither here nor there" with it.
    
    In regards to what kind of names ... we are open to anything
    traditional, trendy, etc. 
    
    Other opinions for names (girls, boys, and middles for both)
    
    Thank you,
    Alan
682.3KYOA::CHANGThu May 16 1991 14:0712
    Maybe your wife would like Emily more if you add a jazzy middle name:
    
    	Emily Ariana
    	Emily Alexa (or Alexandra)
    	Emily Olivia
    
    For a boy, Everett Joseph
    	       Alexander Matthew
    	       George Robert
    
    Chris
    
682.4Some suggestions...4EVER::MEHRINGThu May 16 1991 16:2822
For girls:

	Amy Lynn Atkinson
	Leslie Rae Atkinson
	Danielle Anne Atkinson
	Tara Suzanne Atkinson


For boys:

	Jeffrey James Atkinson
	Kyle Wesley Atkinson
	Clifford Lee Atkinson
	Mitchell James Atkinson
	Keith Andrew Atkinson

Lots of names sound good with Atkinson... You must have *some*
idea of preferences by now: long vs. short, certain favorite initials, any
family names???  That would help to narrow down the choices...

Good luck,
-Cori
682.5some other ideasCNTROL::STOLICNYThu May 16 1991 16:5417
    re: .4
    
    Amy Atkinson sounds great!  Good suggestion.  Maybe something
    a bit more exciting for a middle name though....Amy Michele or 
    Amy Jeanne(tte) ** ?
    
    For a boy, how about   Todd Robert Atkinson  or 
                           Ryan (or Brian) Thomas Atkinson or
                           Andrew James Atkison **
    
    (** - mom's and dad's first name initials!)

682.6GVA01::ATKINSONJust the facts kidTue May 21 1991 04:4941
    Hi,
    
    Thank you for the great suggestions
    
    Re .3
    
    Chris 
    - George is my middle name and my father's name, I think the first boy
    will have George as a middle name. Any first name suggestions to go
    with George
    - my wife likes Mathew
    
    
    Re. 4
    
    Cori
    - One of my sisters is named Susan Anne
    - My cousin is called Wesley
    - My uncle is called Keith
    - good suggestions
    
    Re. 5
    
    Carol
    
    My wife really likes the Andrew James combination
    OK I have to admit it .... I told a "fib", Emily is the ONLY name that
    my wife and I have been able to say "Yah I like that name alot". When I
    showed your reply to her she that it was an "omen".
    
    Any more suggestions for Emily.
    
    Alan
    
    P.S. I REALLY like Ellen, but my wife thinks that it is too close to
    Alan.
    
    
    
    
           
682.7Variations on EllenDUCK::HARDYAPas d'elle y Rhone que nousTue May 21 1991 05:465
    If you like Ellen, why not Elena or Eleanor ?
    
    Both are similar, but do not sound too much like Alan........
    
    /Angela.
682.8Another variationSTEREO::FAHELAmalthea Celebras, Silver UnicornTue May 21 1991 09:133
    Or how about Eileen?
    
    K.C.
682.9i like Ellen Atkinson tooCNTROL::STOLICNYTue May 21 1991 09:2912
    
    I love Ellen also and was going to suggest it but thought it
    might meet with some groans...
    
    I think something short for a middle name for Emily would be best.  
    How about?:  Emily Rae Atkinson
    		 Emily Jo Atkinson
                 Emily Lyn Atkinson
                 Emily Kay Atkinson
    
    Carol
    
682.10GVA01::ATKINSONJust the facts kidFri May 24 1991 08:5710
    Carol,
    
    	Your suggestion of Emily Kay gave us the idea of Emily Kate. We
    seem to agree on this name (for this week in any case :-)). My wife
    also likes Charlotte Isabelle, mybe for the second one.
    
    	We're still struggling for a boys first name that goes well with
    the middle name of George.
    
    Alan
682.11this is fun!TIPTOE::STOLICNYFri May 24 1991 09:0511
    
    Emily Kate sounds excellent!   
    
    How about:  Christopher George Atkinson (too long?)
                Kyle George Atkinson (this one I really like!)
                Steven George Atkinson
                Brian George Atkinson
               
    George doesn't seem to hard to work with...

    re: Charlotte Isabelle    Yes, save that for the next one, maybe
                              she'll change her mind by then  :-)
682.14I 1/2 disagree with .13TUNER::FAHELAmalthea Celebras, Silver UnicornFri May 24 1991 12:143

    My dad's name is GEORGE ARTHUR 
    
    This group certainly has a way of suggesting my families names :-)
    
    I'll bring the excellent suggestion back to my "better half" and we'll
    give it the "old once through". I'll report back after this event.
    
    Thanks again,

682.19Hows Jamie sound?PCOJCT::REISThu Jun 06 1991 15:563
    I like Steven George or Christopher George myself for a boys name.
    For a girl Emily is a really beautiful old fashioned name. But just to
    throw out something different.. Jamie Lynn would sound nice too.

682.22BLANK GEORGE ATKINSON ????GVA01::ATKINSONJust the facts kidFri Jul 12 1991 08:5412
    Hi Folks,
    
    	Thanks for all of the suggestions. The forum has helped us choose
    the girls name. However, my wife and I are still in the "discussion"
    phase for the boys name. We have agreed the middle name will be George
    (after my Dad's name and my middle name) but were can't seem to find
    any boy's names that we like.
    
    	Any more suggestions?? Thank you.
    
    Alan George & Jannine Isobelle Atkinson
    
682.23GVA01::ATKINSONJust the facts kidMon Aug 12 1991 05:0217
    We have narrowed the list of boys names. However we don't agree on many
    of them. Your comments would be appreciated. 
    
    Andrew George ATKINSON
    James George ATKINSON
    Reed George ATKINSON
    Mathew George ATKINSON
    Reece George ATKINSON
    Nicolas George ATKINSON
    Simon George ATKINSON
    Oliver George ATKINSON
    
    I know there are a few more but I can't remeber them for now. They must be
    my wife's suggestions :-)
    
    Thanks,                                                       
    Alan 
682.24Andrew, Matthew, Nicholas or STEVEN?TIPTOE::STOLICNYMon Aug 12 1991 14:2814
    
    Of the names that you've listed, my preferences go with Andrew George, 
    Matthew George,and Nicholas George.  The single syllable names (Reed, 
    Reece, James), while all nice, just don't flow with George.  Simon is 
    "OK".   Oliver - well,  I can't like everything, can I ?  :-)  
    
    I'll also cast a vote for Steven George Atkinson; Steven and George
    sound great together and Steve Atkinson sounds great for daily 
    use.  
    
    You must be having a girl, though, since you're all set on that!
    Is the final decision Emily Kate?  If so, that's a GREAT name!
    
    Carol   
682.25GVA01::ATKINSONJust the facts kidTue Aug 13 1991 03:597
    We don't know what the sex of our baby will be. It will be one of those
    great surprises. It was easier to pick girl's names. Yes Emily Kate
    will be the name if it is a girl. If it is a boy ..... My wife likes
    Andrew and Mathew, I like Nicolas. We never thought about Steven.
    
    Thanks for your input
    Alan
682.26A great surprise !!!SHIRE::AEBISCHERWed Sep 04 1991 07:1912
    Well, well, well... you have to go into notes to "hear" great news... !
    Congratulation Alan... it's great !
    
    Just to let you know my preferences...
    I find Emily Kate absolutely adorable, it's a VERY VERY nice choice.
    
    For a boy I like Matthew George, which I think sounds very nice, but I
    find that James George is a too many JJJGGG.. sound...
    what about Ray George Atkinson or Remy (Y=E) George Atkinson ?
    
    Good luck et...meilleurs voeux !

682.27Emily Kate AtkinsonGVA01::ATKINSONJust the facts kidTue Oct 15 1991 05:577

    kg and measured 43 cm in length and is a perfectly normal and healthy
    baby. Mom and daughter are doing fine.
    
    Thank you for all of your suggestions,
    A proud father,
