830.0. "Names for Strogis " by GEMVAX::STROGIS () Fri Oct 02 1992 17:38

  I've been reading this notesfile for a long time and finally, I'm ready
to ask your advice.  We are expecting our first in January.  I didn't realize 
how difficult it would be for us to decide/agree on a baby's name!  

  I think our last name is difficult.  It is a Lithuanian name and is
correctly pronounced "Stroh - gis"  with a hard G.  It is incorrectly
pronounced "Stroh - jis"  with a soft G.  My husband's family pronounces it 
both ways (depending on who you ask), so the name needs to go with both 
pronunciations.  The reason I think it is difficult is because of all the
"S" sounds.    

  My name is Tammy Lorraine Elkes Strogis and my husband's name is
William Anthony Strogis (Bill).  We don't like Lorraine, and we don't want a 
junior, but William or Anthony as a middle name is OK.

  Anyway, here are some of the names we like so far.  The list has been
changing almost weekly!  PLEASE OFFER ANY SUGGESTIONS!  :^)



BOYS:

Scott Anthony  (my favorite, but are there too many Ss in Scott Strogis? --
                 I would call him Scotty when he was a little boy)
Shane Alexander
Adam Christopher
Brett _____
Andrew (Drew for short...?)



GIRLS:

Erin Elizabeth  (my favorite for today -- my husband is half Irish and
                 my best friend's name is Beth)
Lainey Rebecca
Jillian _____
Emily Kate
Allison _____
Holly ______


Thanks in advance for your opinions and new ideas!  This is so much fun!

	I really like Erin Elizabeth, Emily Kate, and Holly from your girl's list. From the boys list, I think Scot Strogis sounds good together. Chris
830.2	Names for Strogis	ROYALT::CHARRON	`Mon Oct 05 1992 15:16`	7
	I love Erin Elizabeth Strogis for a girl's name and I like the sound of Derek Anthony Strogis for a boy. Just my opinion...... Good Luck! Cyndi

	Hi Tammy, Is Elkes your maiden name? My cousin's name is Brett and he has his mom's maiden name as his middle name (Brett Lane O'Connor) and I like the sounds of Brett Elkes Strogis. I also like Jillian Elkes Strogis for a girl. Good luck on your decision! Donna
830.4	Molly or Garrett? (the Irish influence...)	AMCUCS::MEHRING	`Tue Oct 06 1992 20:07`	24
	Tammy, Well, my favorites of the names you listed are Adam Christopher and Erin Elizabeth (sorry, but I think both Scott and Shane are tough to say with your last name and I think Brett is becoming more popular for girls). I also like: Holly Beth Strogis Lydia Kate Strogis Elke Rebecca Strogis Molly Elizabeth Strogis Valerie Diane Strogis Devon Alicia Strogis Drew (or Andrew) William Derek Anthony Strogis Timothy William Strogis Daniel William Strogis Garrett William Strogis Good luck! -Cori
830.5	Great feedback! Great feedback!	GEMVAX::STROGIS	`Wed Oct 07 1992 10:57`	19
	Well thanks for the responses and great suggestions! I feel like the name we will choose is on these lists somewhere, we just have to decide which one it is! Sounds like Erin Elizabeth is the big winner for a girl, so far. I also like your suggestions of Jillian Elkes (yes, Elkes is my maiden name, pronounced Elks) and I like Holly Beth. No comments on Lainey? I guess that is not a favorite.... For a boy, I'm confused! I like the new suggestions of Brett Elkes and maybe Garrett William. I'll have to see what my husband thinks of Garrett, we never thought of that one. As far as Scott and Shane go, it seems to be 50/50 -- some people think it's too many Ss and some don't. Maybe that is reason enough to steer clear of those names. But I LIKE Scott or maybe Adam Christopher of maybe.... AGGGGHHHHHH! :^) Confusing, but fun! Thanks again for your help! I'll keep you posted. - Tammy

	Thought you all would like to know. Tammy left the company in December, but she had her baby last Wednesday (February 10)--a little girl named Jillian Elisabeth. Mother and baby are fine! -Tracy
