705.0. "Name for Baby Boy - Dowd" by ICS::DOWD () Tue Jul 09 1991 15:57

    I'm due to have a baby boy December 6th.  My husband and I can't seem
    to agree on any names, so...I thought I'd enter a note in here and see
    what suggestions any of you may have.  I've seen some great names in 
    other notes!
    
    Our last name is Dowd (Irish).
    
    My husand's name is John Cooke Dowd III (he doesn't want a IV)
    
    Names I like:                        Names Hubby Likes:
    
    Thomas John		                 James _____ 
    Ian James
    Liam Patrick
    Brian Patrick
    Nicholas _____
    
    
    THANKS!

    Maybe you can combine some of the names listed.  Do you like James
    as a first name?  Then how about:
    	James Patrick Dowd
    	James Ian Dowd
    	James Liam Dowd
    
    If you don't like James, maybe you can use it as a middle name and
    that will be okay with your husband:
    	Patrick James Dowd
    	Andrew James Dowd

    I don't care for your husband's choice, I think a two-syllable first
    name would sound much nicer than James/Jim Dowd.   However, I do 
    think that James would make an excellent middle name and really
    like your first name choices of Ian and Brian.  Both sound good with
    James for a middle name.   Other ideas are:
    
    Alexander James Dowd
    Colin Andrew Dowd
    Kevin James Dowd
    
    Good luck!  How do you know it's a boy?

705.3BOY? OR GIRL?ICS::DOWDMon Jul 15 1991 11:2611
    Thank you for your suggestions.  I really like Alexander James.
    
    How do I know its a boy?  Well...I gave in and asked at the ultrasound.
    Although I know that there is a margin for error.
    
    We've selected a girls name (in case it is a girl).  We've
    chose Nina Alexandra.
    
    Thanks again for the suggestions!

705.4Dowd lV sounds great to me, go for it!NYEM1::OMALLEYWed Jul 17 1991 14:239
    I'd go with your husbands name even though he doesn't want the child 
    to have the same name. I have a Thomas Joesph O'malley lV and he loves
    his name. It makes him feel powerfull, and when you are a child growing
    up in todays world you need alot of things to give you high self-esteem
    and that is one of them, your name. It will also carry him into the
    world of work. My husband told me that he really didn't want our first
    son to have his name but out of respect for him and his family I did.
    My son is proud of his name and his father is proud of him. go for it.
