829.0. "another bilingual name sought" by EICMFG::DOUGLAS (persistence of revision) Wed Sep 30 1992 08:51

    
    I am also an about-to-be-parent in Bavaria.  After reading the last
    note and seeing all the suggestions, I thought I'd see what you have to
    recommend.
    
    The last name will be Willis.
    
    Our criterion are:
    
       .  a name with a 'K' in it
    
       .  a name that is bilingual
    
    
    I was also thinking of a name that plays on our parents names, they
    are:
    
       .  Marguerite        --> Margit, Margot
    
       .  Katherine         --> Katerina, Katrin
    
       .  Robert
    
       .  Kurt
    
    
    I haven't even begun to think of a middle name...
    
    Thanks for any suggestions.

829.1update for a boy's nameEICMFG::DOUGLASpersistence of revisionSun Oct 04 1992 13:3813
  update:
    
       .  a name with a 'K' in it
    
    I only imagine this for a girl's name.
    
    
    I am really looking for some suggestions for a male name.  I could use
    some inspiration.
    
    thanks,

    I really like Margot and Katerina for a girl's name.  In fact, 
    Margot Katerina Willis sounds really nice to me.
    
    For a boy's name, there is Kurt, Kevin, Keith or Karl.  Do any of
    these appeal to you?

>>    Margot Katerina Willis sounds really nice to me.
    
    I like this, too.
    
    I am wondering whether we will have 2 girls or a girl and a boy or
    what!  I thought that we could name a girl after each mom, but then we
    may have a boy...
    
    Also, we thought of Erika.
    
    
    
>>    For a boy's name, there is Kurt, Kevin, Keith or Karl.  Do any of
>>    these appeal to you?
    
    I like Kurt - it was my father's anem and I really like Karl, but my
    hubby's name is 'Carl', and I don't think we will consider a junior.
    
    It doesn't really have to have a 'K' in the boy's name.  I think it is
    easier for a girl's name.
    
    
    thanks for the ideas... any more?

829.4More namesKYOA::CHANGTue Oct 06 1992 17:0315
    I just saw a suggestion in another note that might appeal.  Is
    "Douglas" your maiden name?  I have seen couples use the maiden
    name for a middle name.  That would make it Kurt Douglas Willis.
    
    If you are looking for additional first or middle names for boys:
    
    David
    George
    Theodore
    Tyler
    Duncan
    John
