862.0. "What goes with Donald or Milton?" by CSC32::L_WHITMORE () Sun Mar 07 1993 21:59

    Hi folks!   We are expecting our second child September 1st.  If
    it's a girl, her name will probably be Sarah Marie (I know, very common,
    but we like it!!!)   The problem we are having is a boy's name.  It
    took us FOREVER to pick out our first son's name (Matthew Jacob)!
    If it's another boy we might like to name him after one (or perhaps
    both?) of the grandfathers - Donald Eugene Whitmore and Jerry Milton
    Butler.  BUT - my husbands name is Jerry (Jerold) Eugene and he definetly
    does not want either one of those names used so we're down to
    Donald and Milton.   I think I would prefer to have a different
    first name and use Donald or Milton as a middle name.  I'm looking
    for suggestions for first names that go with
    	_______ Donald Whitmore or _____ Milton Whitmore or perhaps
    even _______ Donald Milton Whitmore (I doubt if my husband will
    go for this last one!!!)   Anyway -  I know you folks can come up
    with some wonderful ideas!!   Thanks!

    Congratulations Lila.  I really like Donald Milton Whitmore.  It
    would go well with your first son's name, too...Matt and Don.
    The other name I thought of was David...David Milton Whitmore.  Then
    you would have Matt and Dave.
    
    I like Sarah Marie for a girl.  It sounds good with your last name.
    
    Best of luck.

862.2A few ideas for boys...AMCUCS::MEHRINGMon Mar 08 1993 14:1120
Lila,

I thought of a few suggestions for first names with Donald as the middle name
that also go well with Matthew.  Sorry, but I'm not too keen on the name Milton
 (although I do understand the sentimental value of such family names)...

How about:

	Stephen Donald Whitmore
	Richard Donald Whitmore
	Jason Donald Whitmore
	Adam Donald Whitmore
	Timothy Donald Whitmore
	Brian Donald Whitmore
	Alexander Donald Whitmore
	Jeffrey Donald Whitmore
	Alan Donald Whitmore

Good luck (maybe it'll be a girl and you won't need it!),

862.3Thanks!CSC32::L_WHITMOREMon Mar 08 1993 15:475
    thanks for the suggestions!  I, too, am not very fond of Milton and
    will probably end up going with Donald as a middle name - your
    suggestions are great - I see a couple right off that I know my
    husband will agree with!  Thanks again!    Lila
    
862.4don't do itVAXWRK::STHILAIREi'll always be a dreamin manFri Mar 19 1993 15:148
    I have to say that, I, too, think that Milton is just an absolutely
    horrible name (Uncle Miltie is the first thing that comes to mind), and
    I sincerely hope you choose not to inflict it on your son.
    
    Donald is too common for my taste, but is far better than Milton.

862.5names that go with Whitmore?CSC32::L_WHITMORESat Jul 03 1993 22:366
    Well, folks, it's getting closer to my due date and we still cannot
    come up with a boys name.  I'm looking for suggestions for ANYTHING
    that goes with the last name of Whitmore (the more I toss around
    the name Donald with various other names, I'm convinced I don't
    want to name my baby that!!!)  Thanks for your help.   Lila
    
862.6Any suggestions?CSC32::L_WHITMORESat Jul 17 1993 22:076
    well, we MIGHT have narrowed it down to Logan or Jared for the
    first name.  My husband likes Logan Wade Whitmore and Jared
    Michael Whitmore.  I like Logan, but not Wade - Jared Michael
    is ok.   Does anyone have any suggestions for middle names
    to go with Logan or Jared?  Thanks.  Lila
    
862.7KYOA::CHANGMon Jul 19 1993 10:2712
    Hi Lila,
    
    If you like Logan, Jared and Michael, how about a mix and match:
    
    Logan Jared
    Logan Michael
    Jared Logan
    Jared Michael
    
    I really like Logan, and would pick Logan Jared or Logan Michael.
    
    Chris
862.8thanks for the suggestions!CSC32::L_WHITMORESun Jul 25 1993 00:0613
    Thanks for those suggestions Chris!   My husband is SOOOOOO
    hard to please sometimes, though.  He didn;t like any of them!
    I really like Logan, and he says if I can come up with a middle
    name that sounds good with it, he'll say ok.  But everything
    I suggest he turns down!!   Jared Michael is the only name we
    can agree on, and I don;t like Jared as much as Logan!  Oh well!!
    I would have thought he;d like Logan Michael, but no way!  My 
    next plan is to go back thru our family trees and see what names
    I can find.  Our first son shares his middle name with his maternal
    great grandfather, so perhaps if I can find some name with "family
    ties" he'll go along with it!   Thanks for your suggestions,
    though!    Lila
    
862.9some middle name options with Logan...AMCUCS::MEHRINGTue Jul 27 1993 17:1832
Lila,

Boy, sounds like he's being pretty tough on this one... Just remember
though that after labor/delivery, you should have more pull in the
decision!  I also prefer Logan to Jared, and think Logan Michael is
just about perfect, but here are a few more possibilities for you to
try with your husband:

	Logan Mitchell Whitmore
	Logan Matthew
	Logan Jeffrey
	Logan Alexander
	Logan Bradley
	Logan Richard
	Logan David
	Logan Bryce
	Logan Stuart
	Logan Trevor
	Logan Brent
	Logan Charles
	Logan James
	Logan Connor

or for something completely different, how about:

	Gordon Thomas Whitmore
	Gordon Michael
	Gordon James
	...

Good luck!
-Cori
862.10Thanks!CSC32::L_WHITMORESat Jul 31 1993 21:067
    Cori - Thank you thank you thank you!    I will take that list
    home and see what he says!!  I spent this past week "back home"
    and went thru our family trees - came up with a couple of
    suggestions that he's mulling over (Logan William and Logan James) -
    I'll let you all know what we FINALLY decide!  Thanks again for
    the list!    Lila
    
862.11Logan Marshall WhitmoreCSC32::L_WHITMOREFri Sep 24 1993 18:515
    Well, my son was born September 12th and we named him 
    Logan Marshall Whitmore.    We made our final decision
    a few days before he was born (which was 10 days past
    my due date!!!!)  Lila
    
862.12KYOS02::CHANGMon Sep 27 1993 10:397
    
    Hi Lila,
    
    Congratulations on the birth of Logan Marshall.  Ten days late!
    That is a long time to wait.  But I'm glad all is well.
