745.0. "Names for surname HOARE" by AUSSIE::TWIGG () Thu Nov 14 1991 17:56

	Hi everyone,

	Want a challenge?

	My baby is due in February.  I don't know its sex, but at the moment
	I am looking for girl's names.

	The challenge is they must go with the surname Hoare (yes, it does
	rhyme with whore!).  It must have NO connotations (if you know what
	I mean).


	After much discussion my husband and I have decided that we would
	like a name as follows:

	.  three or more syllables  (but would accept two)

	.  ending in the "ee" sound (as in Stephanie).  The "a" sound at the 
	   end makes "a whore" too obvious (such as Arabella Hoare).  A lot of
	   other endings don't sound right (such as Meredith Hoare).

	.  not fussy names (like Felicity or Penelope)

	.  not shortened names (like the two syllable Debbie).

	.  not a name that can be shortened (such as Beth for Bethany)

	.  old fashioned sounding


	We have a few names so far, but are running dry.  The names are:
	
		Stephanie
		Rosalie
		Brittany
		Rosemary
		Briony
		Valerie, Melanie (not stuck on these) 
		Melodie  


	Can you think of any more?

745.1	Hillary/Cassidy/Natalie?	VIA::MEHRING	`Fri Nov 15 1991 10:02`	17
	The first one that came to my mind was Hillary Hoare - this fits all of your criteria, and emphasizes that the last name begins with an H (not W!!!). That is definitely a tough one if it's a girl... I also like these although they don't all fit all of your criteria: Cassidy Allison Amy Natalie Lindsay Of the names you listed, I also like Valerie a lot... Good luck! -Cori
745.2	More names	KYOA::CHANG	`Wed Nov 20 1991 12:47`	14
	I came up with the following: Emily Leslie Melody Lindsey Joanne Judy Sharon Ellen Congratulations and good luck. Chris
745.3	Natalie, Valerie, JACQUELINE!?!	TIPTOE::STOLICNY	`Wed Nov 20 1991 15:47`	27
	Additional names that fit your criteria: Whitney Mallory Courtney (doesn't sound too good with the last name) Tiffany (I'd steer away from this one) Molly Kelly Audrey Stacy Kelsey Wendy We have a Valerie in the family and she is the sweetest person you'd ever want to meet so I'm kinda partial to the name. She has a daughter named Natalie and I also like that name. A couple of other names that come to mind that do not end in the -ie or -y but that sound good with your last name (IMHO) are: Jacqueline Hoare Shannon Hoare Good luck, that's a tough last name to work with! Carol
745.4	Baby HOARE is born	AUSSIE::TWIGG	`Wed Sep 16 1992 02:18`	25
	For those babynames noters who saw my original note in November asking for a girl's name to go with Hoare ... I had a boy! He was born 15 February 1992 and we named him ... Riley Frederick Hoare Frederick is my father's middle name and my grandfather's first name. Riley is just a name we both liked. We had decided on his name before he was born. If he'd been a girl though we would have had problems as we were still undecided (we had a !short! list of about 10 names!). Thanks for the contributions. Lynette
745.5	Congratulations	KYOA::CHANG	`Wed Sep 16 1992 11:31`	4
	Congratulations to you. And I think the name Riley Frederick is terrific. Chris
