883.0. "It's Kane not Cain" by CSC32::R_JACOBS (fight for peace) Thu Jun 24 1993 20:37

    
    When I came up with this name it didn't even dawn on me that people
    would refer a specific book and the deed that was done by this person.  
    
    Although it is not spelt the same everyone seems to think this is
    not a good name.
    
    I really like this name, my wife is not to keen on the middle
    name so it might get tossed.
    
    Kane Elliott Jacobs
    
    Kane is Welsh and Elliott is my dads name.
    
    Well what do you think.
    
    cheers,
    rick

883.1	I like it; and a few other suggestions...	AMCUCS::MEHRING		`Fri Jun 25 1993 16:00`	25
	Rick, While I like the strength of Kane, I do think you should consider what both adults ("Cain...") and children might do with it -- i.e. "Candy Cane", "Sugar Cane". Nothing too terrible, IMHO, but be aware it will happen. If you like the sound of Kane, perhaps you might like one of these: Dane Elliot Jacobs Shane Elliot Jacobs Jane _____ Jacobs Elaine _____ Jacobs or Diane Jacobs Sam(uel) Elliot Jacobs Rachel Jacobs Ray(mund) Elliot Jacobs Victoria Jacobs Steven Elliot Jacobs Lauren Jacobs Jeffrey Elliot Jacobs Sally Jacobs Evan Elliot Jacobs Samantha Jacobs Ben(jamin) Elliot Jacobs Good luck in the search! -Cori
883.2	how about...	GENRAL::WEAVER	Hold On Help Is On The Way	`Tue Jun 29 1993 14:05`	3
	how about James Elliot Jacobs - "JJ"
883.3	It will be Kane	CSC32::R_JACOBS	fight for peace	`Tue Jun 29 1993 20:31`	10
	Thanks for the suggestions. When I first saw Kane I thought of the movie Citizen Kane. Everyone else thought of Cain. We really like the name so if we have a boy his name will be Kane Elliott Jacobs. My wife and I are miles apart on a girls name. cheers, rick
883.4	Kane defined	AMCUCS::MEHRING		`Wed Sep 15 1993 17:28`	9
	Rick, Just FYI, in my (abbreviated) Names book, Kane is listed as Welsh and meaning "Beautiful". Cain is not even listed. Sounds like a good "connotation" to me... Best of luck finding a girl's name you like as well, -Cori
883.5	Getting close on a girls name	CSC32::R_JACOBS	fight for peace	`Thu Sep 30 1993 13:33`	11
	Well babytime is just 5 weeks away. Looks like Kane is still the boy's name and we have 2 girls names. Whether we have a boy or a girl neither of them will have a standard name. We are both kind of leaning towards the name Sidney for a girls name. Many of our friends are saying go with Montana. My wife loves the name. I gave up about 3 months ago trying to persude her to change the name. I must admit the name has kind of growen on me. I hear that once you see your baby for the first time both names could get tossed. We'll see.
883.6	a new name at birth	KAOFS::M_BARNEY	Dance with a Moonlit Knight	`Thu Sep 30 1993 16:14`	7
	>>I hear that once you see your baby for the first time both names could >>get tossed. We'll see. Yah, names like "Wrinkly", "Red" and "Noisy" might replace them 8-) 8-) 8-). Monica
883.7		CSC32::R_JACOBS	Exit stage left, In a hurry even!	`Thu Oct 06 1994 11:55`	12
	Well it's been close to a year now since our son Kane Alan Jacobs made his debut into this world so I thought I would give you a name update. When people ask what his name is and we say Kane most people kind of tilt their heads to one side and say What an interesting name. I 've had a number of people say Oh a bible name and others say "Oh as in Citizen Kane. Our friends children have given him the nickname of Kanegaroooooo. Must admit that one never came to mind.
