696.0. "Girl names for Baby Gosselin" by ZEKE::J_GOSSELIN (more than conquerors through Him) Sat Jun 15 1991 00:41

Hi,
I just had an ultrasound and to my surprise the sonographer said my baby
looked like a little girl.  I had thought all along I was having a boy
(my husband only has brothers).  We have a boy's name picked out already,
but we can't decide upon a little girl's name.  Here are the criteria:

1- Can't end in an A or ER (we don't have a New England accent and we don't 
                            want the baby's name ruined by it)

2- We'd like to have a three syllable first name.

3- The name can't have a nickname that ends with -ie or -y.  ( this is my 
    husband's idea since he still has cousins and friends who call him Danny)


I know this makes things a little difficult, but if you have any ideas I would
greatly appreciate them!!    

Thanks,
Jill

	Given the ultrasound, it is wise to have a girl's name ready. But keep the boy's name available, too! With the criteria you listed, I could only think of names that satisfied 2 of the 3 listed. In most cases, not ending with an A or ER was easy enough, but then three sylables was more difficult. Anyhow this is what I came up with: Stephanie (Steff) 3 Syl. AnnMarie (Ann) 3 Syl. Emily (none) 3 Syl. Abigail (Abi) 3 Syl. Michelle (none) 2 Syl. Elaine (none) 2 Syl. Rachel (none) 2 Syl. Christine (Chris) 2 Syl. There are lots of 2 sylable names without nicknames, but a 3 sylable name is almost certain to be shortened to something with an IE or Y at the end. Good luck with picking a name. And congratulations. Chris
696.2	I can only think of 4	CNTROL::STOLICNY		`Tue Jun 18 1991 14:58`	14
	.1 is right, this is kind of difficult. Here's a few: Allison Carolyn or Caroline Jillian Arielle Are you sure you can't relax on the -a ending...there's lots of possibilities there (Alyssa, Pamela, Melissa, Christina, Alicia). What's you boy's name choice? Just curious. Carol
696.3	Traditional...	CRISPY::HARDYA	Pas d'elle y Rhone que nous	`Wed Jun 19 1991 10:19`	15
	Is your surname Gosselin ? If so, I like traditional christian names with it. Try : Jeanette Marie Charlotte Louise Lindsay Do you like any of these ? /Angela
696.4	Alexandra?	TIPTOE::STOLICNY		`Wed Jun 19 1991 10:38`	5
	How about Alexandra? It ends in -a, but I don't think it could be massacred by the Boston accent because of the "r"....can't imagine someone saying Alexandr-er! Alexandra Leigh Gosselin, how's that? Carol
696.5	Like them all!	ZEKE::J_GOSSELIN	more than conquerors through Him	`Thu Jun 20 1991 22:00`	8
	Hi, I really like Alexandra! I'll have to check with the hubby to see what he thinks. He's actually the one putting all of the stipulations on for the baby's name. I personally like Chloe. Thanks for all of your suggestions! Jill
696.6	My $.02	PCOJCT::REIS	God is my refuge	`Mon Jun 24 1991 11:55`	8
	Hi Jill, How about Sharon Leigh Gosselin? I like the name Chloe also. What would you give as a middle name? I also like Alexis Marie Gosselin. Anyway good luck and God bless you and Dan with a healthy, happy baby whichever sex it turns out to be. In Christ, Trudy
