803.0. "Names for baby Yang" by DECEA::HSU () Fri Jun 26 1992 19:38

My husband and I are expecting our first baby in October.
We like to know what names go well with our last name - Yang.
We only need suggestions for the first name because the
middle name will be a Chinese name picked by the grandparents.

Here is what we have so far:
Boy -  Grant
       Gregory
       Marc
       Justin

Girl - Josephine
       Audrey

We both like the boy name Grant a lot, but people have told us
that the two names sound similar therefore do not go together
well.  What do you think?

Thanks a Lot!

803.1Names for youKYOA::CHANGMon Jun 29 1992 09:5414
    Hi Pao-Lin,
    
    From your list, my favorites are Justin and Audrey.  I also like
    Grant but it is too short for your last name (in my opinion).  
    
    My last name is Chang (actually very close to Yang), and I found
    that multisyllable first names sounded best.  My children are:
    Jonathan Andrew and Emily Amanda.  In addition to the two I 
    picked from your list, any of these four would also sound good.
    
    Best of luck to you.

    Pao-Lin,
    
    I must agree with Chris, the first names should be at least
    2-syllables.  I like Audrey.  I think it is beautiful.  Justin
    is ok.  I like Marc though.  
    
    For girls,
    
    Hillary
    Jasmine or Jessamine
    Kristine
    Leslie
    Lisa
    Erica
    
    For boys,
    
    Derek
    Thomas
    Steven
    Kevin
    Johnathan
    
    These are just a few of them.  Good luck.
    
    BTW, my kids are Eric Channing and Monica Grace.  The last name
    is SWEI.

    From Wendy's note, I also think Monica Yang and Lisa Yang would
    sound very good.
    
    For more boys names, Jason Yang also sounds good to me.
