708.0. "Name for baby Osborne" by SWAM2::OSBORNE_JA () Fri Jul 12 1991 20:48

    
    We are expecting our second child on Thanksgiving, and I
    could really use some help selecting names!  During my
    first pregnancy, I read the babyname books and made lists
    of names, and my husband rejected all of them.  We ended 
    up naming our son in the hospital when he was two days
    old.  We chose Jesse Thomas Osborne.
    
    Although I am very happy with this name, I would prefer not
    to go through the last minute name search again.
    
    My husband actually suggested the name Rebecca if we have a
    girl, and I rather like it.  So Rebecca it will probably be,
    but I need help with a middle name, and am open to other
    suggestions.
    
    We have no boys names yet, having used the only two on which
    we ever agreed.
    
    BTW, my husband's name is Douglas Ward Osborne, and I am
    Janet Mary Irene Osborne.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Janet.

708.1I love RebeccaPCOJCT::REISGod is my refugeMon Jul 15 1991 01:0913
    
    How about:
    	Rebecca Dyan (Diane)
    	Rebecca Irene
    	Rebecca Leigh (Lee)
    	Rebecca Marie
    	Rebecca Faye
    
    I'm sure just about anything will go with Rebecca. It is a beautiful
    name and Osborne is easy to work with.
    
    Congratulations and God bless!

    I also think Rebecca is a good match with Osborne.  Since it is a
    long first name, I think the middle name should be 1 or 2 sylables:
    
    Rebecca Paige
    Rebecca Rose
    Rebecca Jill
    Rebecca Anne
    
    Also like .1's Rebecca Marie and Rebecca Irene.
    
    For boys names, I like your husband's middle name, Ward.
    
    Ward Everett Osborne
    Ward Robert Osborne
    
    Otherwise:
    
    Tate Douglas Osborne
    Clifford Douglas Osborne
    Reece Ward Osborne
    Rhett Edward Osborne
    Daniel Ward Osborne
    
    Congratulations and good luck!

708.3Rebecca Jane? Cody Michael?TIPTOE::STOLICNYMon Jul 15 1991 10:2117
    
    I also think Rebecca sounds great with Osborne.   My suggestion for
    a middle name would be a variation of Mom's: Rebecca Jane Osborne.
    
    Jesse is a neat name for a boy.  It'll be tough to come up with
    some that "matches" it if you have another boy.  Three names that
    come to mind are Luke, Cody, and Shane.
    
    Luke Douglas Osborne
    Cody Michael Osborne
    Shane Douglas Osborne
    
    Osborne is an easy name to work with, maybe that's why you have
    trouble deciding - everything goes with it!

708.4Keep 'em coming!SWAM2::OSBORNE_JAMon Jul 15 1991 19:366
    Thanks for the suggestions so far.  I'll share them with Doug 
    and let you know what he thinks.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Janet.
708.5Max needs your help!SWAM2::OSBORNE_JATue Dec 03 1991 14:2317
    Help!  Baby's here, but he has no name!  (I was afraid this would
    happen!)
    
    We have been calling him Max, and I think we will keep it (tho
    our parents hate it, and are pushing for us to at least lengthen
    it to Maxwell if we won't change it).  He just looks like a Max.
    He doesn't look like any of the names we had considered before
    his birth.
    
    Can you help me with a middle name for Max Osborne?  I like the
    sound of Max Addison Osborne, but I think we want a more
    traditional middle name (along the lines of Thomas, as in Jesse
    Thomas Osborne, Max's big brother).
    
    Thanks,
    
    Janet.
708.6Joseph? Andrew? David?TIPTOE::STOLICNYTue Dec 03 1991 16:2316
    
    First, congratulations on the birth of Max Osborne!
    
    How about?:
    
    Max Andrew Osborne
    Max Joseph Osborne
    Max Charles Osborne
    Max David Osborne 
    
    I like them all!  Maxwel seems a little bit easier to find a middle
    name for though.
    
    Good luck and let us know what you finally decide!
    
    Carol
708.7Maxwell?SWAM2::OSBORNE_JATue Dec 03 1991 19:094
    We haven't ruled out Maxwell, and I'd be interested in hearing
    your ideas for a middle name to go with it.
    
    Janet.
708.8RIPPLE::BARTHOLOM_SHI've got friends in low places...Wed Dec 04 1991 01:1622
    Janet & family,
    
    Congratulations on the new addition to your family!!
    
    Here's some names that I like with Maxwell:
    
    Maxwell Tate Osborne
    Maxwell Oliver Osborne
    Maxwell Foster Osborne
    Maxwell Lawrence Osborne
    Maxwell Thaddeus Osborne
    
    For Max on it's own, some of the following came to mind:
    
    Max Alecsander Osborne
    Max Sampson Osborne
    Max Greyson Osborne
    Max Isaiah Osborne
    
    Just a few ideas....

708.9Max Timothy/Max Michael ???4EVER::MEHRINGWed Dec 04 1991 10:5520
Congratulations!!

Here are a few ideas (I prefer the longer middle names with Max...):

	Max Timothy Osborne
	Max Gregory Osborne
	Max/Maxwell Joseph Osborne
	Max/Maxwell Stephen Osborne
	Max Michael Osborne (this sounds cool to me!)
	Max/Maxwell Robert Osborne
	Maxwell Charles Osborne
	Maxwell Alan Osborne

Are there any good family names you can work with for the middle name? That
can sometimes compensate for the grandparents' not being too fond of the first
name...  But once they get to know the little one, they will love whatever
name you've chosen!!

Good luck!

708.10Maxwel John OsborneTIPTOE::STOLICNYWed Dec 04 1991 13:0111
    
    I also like Max Alexander mentioned earlier (I prefer the 
    traditional spelling).   I don't know that I have any different
    ideas of names to go with Maxwel but they just seem to 
    flow a bit better using Maxwel.
    
    My favorites are: Maxwel Joseph Osborne
    	              Maxwel John Oborne
    		      Maxwel David Osborne

708.11NYEM1::REISGod is my refugeWed Dec 04 1991 13:425
    
    Congratulations!!! I too like Maxwell better. Have you considered using
    one of the grandfathers names as a middle name? As for myself I like 
    
    Maxwell James Osborne
708.12Max Michael OsborneSWAM2::OSBORNE_JAWed Dec 11 1991 16:295
    Thank you all for your suggestions.  We have named our son
    Max Michael Osborne.  Special thanks to you, Cori, for the
    suggestion in .9.
    
    Janet.
