| 733.1 | Veronica and Bennet get my vote | NYSBU::CHANG | | Fri Sep 27 1991 11:35 | 16 |
| Hi,
My first question would be, do you already have any children? It
would be good to try to match a second child's name to any other
siblings.
For the names you offered, yes, they are uncommon. The spellings
and pronounciations of some you will have to correct over and over.
Of the ones you listed, my favorites would be Veronica Siobhan
for a girl and Bennet Alexander for a boy. I like Ceiledh but
would have no idea of how to pronounce it if I saw it in print
and would never come up with that spelling if I heard it. Same
thing goes for Caelum. I don't know if I like the sound of
Paris Rodrigues. If you really like Paris, how about Veronica
Paris Rodrigues?

| 733.2 | Well........ %^) | PCOJCT::REIS | God is my refuge | Tue Oct 01 1991 23:25 | 8 |
| I have to say that I really like all the boys names that you have
picked out. As for the girls, I like Veronica the best. I also like
Paris but I'm not sure I like how Paris Rodrigues sounds together. In
the end though it is what you and hubby like the most that really
matters. Congratulations and God bless you all!!
In His love,
Trudy

...But.... I am the hubby :-)

Well, my wife's name is Patrice, so as for Paris Rodrigues, I guess
I'm used to Patrice Rodrigues...will this be too similar?
And, yes, this is our first!....of many ;-)

| 733.4 | Oops! | PCOJCT::REIS | God is my refuge | Thu Oct 03 1991 10:40 | 6 |
| Sorry about that Karl, I didn't read the end of the original note. I
guess what you and the *wife* like the best is what really counts.
FWIW, the more I say Paris Rodrigues the more I like it myself.
Good luck and God bless,
Trudy

| 733.5 | INTERESTING NAMES! | DPDMAI::SIMMONSP | | Wed Oct 23 1991 16:06 | 10 |
| KARL,
I'M AN OCCASIONAL READER OF THIS NOTE CONFERENCE AND HAVE WRITTEN A
COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT I HAD TO COMMENT ON YOUR CHOICE OF "PARIS" FOR A
GIRL. MY NAME IS "PARIS ELIZABETH" AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD IT MENTIONED
OR USED BEFORE. I'M KIND OF 50/50 ON THE NAME; IT'S NOT ONE THAT I
WOULD CHOOSE BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, IT IS DIFFERENT! I GET ALL KINDS
OF COMMENTS RANGING FROM "THAT SURE IS UNUSUAL" TO "I LOVE IT"!
LET US KNOW WHAT YOU DECIDE!

| 733.6 | The trouble with an agreeable wife... | OZROCK::RODRIGUES | Now I don't get any sleep | Mon Oct 28 1991 01:18 | 25 |
|
...is that sometimes she's not too agreeable :-)
One time was when it finally came to the crunch on which name to choose
at 3:15am Monday the 7th October (sorry for the late reply..but I've been
busy :-) a little girl was born to Patrice and myself.
7 lbs 3 oz at birth with dark hair, grey/blue eyes and light olive skin.
Patrice was just waiting for the baby to be born to really decide on the
name, all the while keeping in mind the names we had chosen.
Once she was born, however, Patrice went all traditional :-(, oh well,
I tried....
anyway, we called her Rosemary Ceilidh Rodrigues
at least I got Ceilidh in there :-)
See Ya in the conference for the next one ;-). I reckon I'll have the
say when we get a boy! (I think Saxon Sebastian sounds good)
Karl
PS. I'm going to have to say I do sympathise with all you other parents
out there ... because your baby is no longer the most beautiful...
.....OUR'S IS!!!!!!!!!! :-)

| 733.7 | Oh Happy Day!!! | PCOJCT::REIS | God is my refuge | Mon Oct 28 1991 10:19 | 5 |
| Congratulations Karl!! She sounds beautiful thats for sure!!! Too bad
we can't do pictures in notes. Enjoy her one day at a time as they grow
sooooo quickly. God bless you all!!!

| 733.8 | Just a question? | SWSCIM::DIAZ | | Fri Nov 01 1991 10:55 | 16 |
| Congratulations.. she sounds beautiful. I have a question for you
having a latin lastname myself. I have been trying to stay away from
obvious ethic names and use a more generic name that is cross cultural.
Did that enter into any of your decision? I would classify Rosemary
as cross cultural (IMO) but not Ceileidh (forgive my spelling - I
forgot to take note).
I'm struggling with names again myself (due in March). My husband tends
to lean toward Irish sounding names like yourself. And since our
daughter's name was basically his choice (Justine) I'm going to be
more forceful (or shall I say persuasive) with my choice on this one.
Since we have a ways to go we really haven't been talking about it. One
of us will throw out a name and the other says "no way" and we drop the
whole thing for a month or so. SO this is going to be very interesting.
Thanks for any thoughts on the process itself, Jan

Well, as things would be, my wife and I both live in Australia, however,
my geneaology (sp?) is very complicated (Spanish, Portuguese, French...
don't ask...its taken me a lifetime to understand it :-)). My wife
on the other hand is 3rd generation Ozy from Irish stock.
As such, I've always wanted a name that is more uncommon than different,
although from my suggestions some of you would not agree, right :-)? I
didn't really want an obvious ethnic sounding name except that I love
the gaelic names because of their quaint spelling!
Try every name I thought of, Patrice would simply smile and say "maybe".
Come the very day her labour pains started (which was Sunday the 6th Oct
in the evening) I, being my normal jovial self, said "Hey, if the baby
is born tomorrow and its a girl we should call her Rosemary."
Alas, my wife went deep into thought and said yes...I said "but but but...."
but didn't get any further. The best advice anyone ever gave me was "NEVER
ARGUE WITH A PREGNANT WOMAN" and if you couldn't tell, we are both very
Catholic and the 7th October is the feast day of Our Lady of the Rosary..
hence, Rosemary.
My wife liked it very much, but I REFUSE TO CALL HER ROSE!, If here name is
shortened, it will be shortened to Mary. No offence to all the Roses out there
its just that I knew a Rose, and this particular one wasn't very nice.
You know how it is!

| 733.10 | maybe I'll steal Rosemary | SWSCIM::DIAZ | | Tue Nov 12 1991 08:56 | 14 |
| Nice to hear from you Karl,
I love the name Rosemary and I particularly enjoy how you got her name.
That will be a nice story for little Rosemary to know too.
Maybe I steal the name Rosemary if I have a girl...
Rosemary Diaz ... kind of sweet
My current girl names are Carolyn and Samatha. My husband only grunts
at these. I have a long way to go so I should probably wait until I
go into labor like your wife and decide then.
