898.0. "Do You Like Your Name?" by KAOFS::M_BARNEY (Dance with a Moonlit Knight) Wed Aug 11 1993 17:51

    If we have a note like this somewhere, please feel free to
    point it to me. If not:
    
    People have many opinions on their own names. I find it interesting
    to hear WHY people have those opinions. What might be a wonderful
    name, for instance, might bother the owner because others misspell it,
    or she/he was named after a relative they cannot stand.
    
    I'd love to hear others' tales about how they've come to feel about
    what their parents named them.

898.3Don't like mine..too commonHELIX::LEGERThu Aug 12 1993 16:5524
    Monica...
    
    I am glad you asked this question..
    
    My full name is Anne Marie (Loiselle) Leger..If Anne isn't common
    enough, add Marie to it, and you get 1/3 the french population. And
    then by marrying into the Leger family, that just trippled the amount
    of Anne's and Anne Marie's...
    
    My husband's name is John Phillip....Named after his grandfater. (which
    just happens to be my grandfathers name also)
    
    We (hubby and I) have decided when the little one comes along in
    January, I DO NOT want a real common name! (Like John or Anne) ..
    the only problem was to find one that wasn't used too manytimes in our
    families ....
    
    But atlast! I have narrowed it down
    	for a Girl....  Nichole Marie Leger 
    	for a boy.....  Nicholas John Leger or Marc Phillip Leger
    	I figured we could atleast use our middle names :-)

    I like Nicole Marie and Marc Philipp.  Nicholas is tooooo common.  
    
    Nicole is common now adays.  Maybe you would consider Nina Leger or 
    Yvette Leger, Noelle Leger, Monique Leger is VERY PRETTY! or Monica
    Leger.

    I like my name, which is Colleen Linnea (pron: "lynn-ay") Ritchie
    BUT...

    	Tavis (Scotch Gaelic for thomas) Reynolds Babbitt
    		and
    	Garis (named after my great uncle Gearrison) William Babbitt

					   together) 

	and now my married last name is now BULL  (^; 

	Trying to pick out that way-in-the-future baby's name is gonna be fun! 

	Hannah Bull?  not! 
	Eddie Bull    not! (although there is an Eddie Bull that works for 
	                    DEC and I think his username is "::EDIBLE"  (^=
