897.0. "Names that fit the child" by BUSY::BONINA () Wed Aug 11 1993 17:33

    I had always loved the name Ashley, since I was a little girl so when
    we were deciding baby names Ashley was #1 on the list.  Then every
    place "no kidding" we went my last 2 months there was a girl named
    Ashely...........sometimes more than one.  I felt like Ashley was coming
    out of the woodwork.     :-)))))
    
    Anyway, we had picked out some other very femine names and 1 that
    wasn't.  The moment our 9lb 2oz, 21 3/4 long girl was born we new she 
    was no petite child and a femine name just wouldn't go.  What I'm trying 
    to say even in the early days sometimes a child just looks like they fit 
    a certain name.
    
    I named my daugher Natasha Alexis Bonina.  Nashasha after a very big
    (not fat) beautiful striking very independent woman I met long ago & 
    Alexis after Alexis Karrington Colbey Dexter Rowen.........from Dynasty.  
    As we reach the terrible 2's the name Alexis fits more and more. :-)  
    To this day I'm still so very happy with that name........it really fits 
    her personality.

	What you say makes sense, but just because your daughter was 9lb... that doesn't mean she will "always" be a "big" girl. A friend of mine weighed 10lb at birth and now is 5'4 and weighs around 105! But, I do know what you mean about "what name a baby looks like". It is so true. I always tell people, that once I see my baby, I may change my mind completly on a name !! So do you call your daughter ALexis now or Natasha Alexis? They are both very PRETTY names! Are you Russian at all? My grandparents were born there. My maiden name is Shepeluk. Is you ever have a baby BOY, the name NICOLAI would go WONDERFULLY with Natasha!! (pronounce Nick-o-Lie. I LOVE the name, but my husband doens;t think it sounds good with Phelan. Oh well. Christina

	I agree about names fitting the child. When I was pregnant with my daughter I had long decided on a girl's name of Anna Sophia, knowing that if I had a girl she would have dark hair and eyes. Well, she does (she's a little Greek girl, spitting image of her dad), but if she had come out a redhead (there is a possibility) I would of had a hard time naming her Anna Sophia since I had such a picture in my mind what she (Anna) would look like.

I mostly call Natasha......."Natasha"..........and of course when she's in trouble (and Mommys trying to keep calm in a situation) she's called Natasha Alexis. I sometime call her Tashi..........she seems to like it.........that's what her little daycare friends call her. She's picked up the name "The Goil" from my parents and that kinda stuck too. I'm Irish and my Husbands Italian/French but we both love Russian names. I'll add Nicolai to my 3x5 index card of baby names. >What you say makes sense, but just because your daughter was 9lb... >that doesn't mean she will "always" be a "big" girl. Natasha at the age of 2 year 1 month is at 90% percentile for height & 80% percentile for weight.........so she's a "big" girl. She's loosing her wonderful "chucka" thighs...but shes still solid. I can hardly carry her anymore......I usually will hold her until I can't feel my arms anymore or my back gives out on me.
