| 856.1 | Matthew or Jeffrey or...? | AMCUCS::MEHRING | | Tue Feb 02 1993 14:19 | 28 |
| Niki,
Of your list, I think I like Harry the best, but then it does lend itself
to teasing (what name doesn't?)... Here are some other ideas for tradi-
tional names that I think work well with Joseph/Anthony and Gibson:
Richard
Michael
Matthew
Andrew
Paul
Jeffrey
Daniel
David
Mark
Phillip
Scott
Larry (Lawrence?)
Glenn
Gary
Timothy
Ted (Theodore?)
Hank (Henry?)
Good luck!
-Cori
p.s. What is Dad's name and your girl's choice?

| 856.2 | Watch the Initials too!

| Niki,
Personally, I like Richard, Timothy and Matthew from Cori's list and
Thomas (suprise!) and James from your list. I'd watch the initials though.
From memory of some of the selections on both lists (and the middle name of
Anthony), you might end up with the initals of JAG (not bad if you're a car
buff), MAG, TAG, RAG, LAG, HAG and GAG. It might look kinda funny on anything
he had monogrammed :*). Of course, Joseph would work well with most of the
first names that ran into the problem with Anthony. Good luck...we're still
busy at it with about 4 weekss to go. That with thinking everything was set
for a few months.

| 856.3 | Dad's Name | WOTVAX::GIBSONN | Niki Gibson | Wed Feb 03 1993 07:43 | 17 |
| Dad's Name is Neil Anthony Gibson (NAG...as too are my initials)
Girls names we are settled on:
Megan Elizabeth - 99.9% sure on this one..
Olivia Rae - BUT !!! what about those initials....?
other contenders are Lois, Georgia/Georgina (sp?)
Thanks for the advise so far.

| Megan Elizabeth Gibson (MEG) sounds really nice.
For a boy's name, I like Thomas Joseph Gibson.

| 856.5 | How about Robert ?? | WOTVAX::GIBSONN | Niki Gibson | Wed Feb 17 1993 08:25 | 13 |
| What about this one...
Husband's favorite is now Robert... but I wont be swayed from Harry I'm
afraid.... besides, Robert will get so many nick-names (wont he?)
Is it because I like Harry so much... or am I just being stubborn!!!
Thanks so far..
Niki

| Hi Niki,
One thing about Robert, if you start with a nick-name you like, it
will most likely stick. There are a lot of them: Rob, Robbie, Bob,
Bobbie being the most common. How does Robert Harry sound to you?
Maybe Harry Robert?

| 856.7 | Hmmm! | WOTVAX::GIBSONN | Niki Gibson | Thu Apr 08 1993 07:19 | 13 |

Well, still not getting anywhere!
What do you think of Ben (not Benjamin, as it would only be shortened)
Doesn't it sound to abrupt.. Ben Gibson??
Thanks
Niki

| 856.8 | some more feedback... | AMCUCS::MEHRING | | Thu Apr 08 1993 20:00 | 23 |
| Niki,
Well, I don't think Ben sounds "abrupt" (at least Gibson has 2 syllables...) -
I think it sounds okay (I admit I'd like it better if it didn't end in the
same "en" sound as the last name though - just my opinion, of course). Like
Brad Gibson or Kurt Gibson, etc.
On re-reading the other replies, I thought of these possible combinations:
Harris Joseph Gibson (variation of Harry)
Stuart Joseph Gibson
Bennet Joseph Gibson (variation of Ben)
Ben Robert Gibson (Anthony doesn't seem as good due to BAG)
Also, I still like these choices:
Matthew Joseph Gibson
Richard Anthony Gibson
Best of luck finding that "perfect" name that fits all the criteria (sometimes
it seems impossible, huh?). Maybe you'll have a girl and it will be easy!

I have 8 weeks left at work and still no closer to a boys name..
new to consider are:
William Robert
Richard Joseph
and Rory......
I still favour Harry, my husband would love Robert, but neither of us is that
keen on the others choice... the only ones we both seem to like together are
Jack and Tom, but as I've said before they are really popular right now.. Is
this something we should even be worrying about???
Thanks so far...
Niki

| 856.10 | Rory gets my vote too..... | PAKORA::CDOUDIE | Zig....IN YOUR FACE !! | Wed Jun 16 1993 22:46 | 15 |

No one has mentioned ....Brian or Bryan yet. Don't know how you feel
about these but I think it goes with Anthony..
Bryan Anthony Gibson........now that sounds good to me..
Bryan Joseph Gibson......sounds OK both ways.
It doesn't matter about how "popular" names are as you've already
mentioned that should be the least of your worries.
My mother is Irish and I wish she had given me a good Irish/Gaelic
name.
