905.0. "Names for a Leary first-born" by ABACUS::LEARY (CORE BREACH IN THE SALSA CHAMBER) Wed Sep 22 1993 15:19

    
    
    Hello,
    
    
    I have quite a few suggestions piling up for our expectant arrival
    in April.  My full name is Daniel Michael Leary (go by Michael)
    and my wife is Cindy Ann (Prescott) Leary.  We have asked not to
    be told the sex of our child and have many parameters about the
    names.
    
    1) First name cannot end w/ and ey-sound. (ie. Kelly ____ Leary)
       ***see exceptions for her favorite girl names
    
    2) My wife does not go for trendy names nor do I for that fact.
       (these include Ryan, Caitlin, Trevor, Devon(i)...
    
    3) Male names: we are trying to incorporate Prescott as middle name
       for Mr. Leary if and when.
    
    4) Cindy loves Rosemary, Emily (only two so far) Shannon, Abigail
                   Isabelle and Patience
    
    5) The suffix or middle name cannot be -ann(e) for girl.
    
    6) The Scottish/Irish theme is predominant but not set in stone.
       I like a lot of French names for girls.
    
    7) Other names that are thrown out by virtue of one thing or another
       Timothy-my brother, Mary or Jane-her mom, Eileen and Kathleen
       -my sisters, Nicole, Amanda, Rene-friends recent births
    
    8) Am I asking too much?   This is seriously what we're up against!
       Any suggestions are more than welcome and please feel free to 
       really load this note up w/ replies I will consider each and every
       one w/ Cindy.
    
    Thanks to all in advance, am looking forward to more discussions.
    Feel free to send mail if you want!  These guidelines are pretty
    much all I can remember but there may be more....stay tuned.
    
    Mike Leary (one very elated Dad to be!)

905.1	Timothy and Shari Leary	ABACUS::LEARY	CORE BREACH IN THE SALSA CHAMBER	`Wed Sep 22 1993 15:21`	7
	Oh yeah! I almost forgot...my younger brother's wife is pregnant also and due about two weeks into May. I hope they don't make a decision before us and eliminate any more great names. No biggee if the do just another stipulation. ML
905.2	sounds like my list!	KAOFS::M_BARNEY	Dance with a Moonlit Knight	`Wed Sep 22 1993 17:01`	25
	You too, eh? I have a list of conditions like that as well. As a start I would try to find some of the notes with large lists in them, so you can eliminate as many names as possible, and get some finalists to play with. There are a couple buried in this file (actually I put one in somewhere as well). Do you have a babyname book? As far as a possible new neice or nephew is concerned, you can keep you choices of names private until the birth to minimize the possible accidentally or intentional duplication in name choice, on the other hand, you also may consider the same name! (my husband has 2 Michaels as first cousins from his father's family). I would suggest off hand something with multiple syllables to complement "Leary". other Isabelle has my vote - its a lovely name! How about Norah, or Suzanna or Brigitta? (I wanted to give a few names that I haven't seen here lately). Monica (or how about Monica? 8-) )
905.3	Some options...	AMCUCS::MEHRING		`Wed Sep 22 1993 20:47`	35
	Michael, I'll try to follow that recipe... Here are some suggestions that I like with ____ Prescott Leary for a boy and a few girls name ideas: Adam Isabelle Rose Leary Gordon Rebecca Michelle Connor Samantha Rose James Monique/Monica Austin Lynette Rosemary David Erica Danielle Marc Diana Stephen Gretchen Rose Martin Tanya Emily Brian Suzette Rosemary Simon Caroline Jason Andrew/Drew Jonathan Of the girls' names listed, I also like Isabelle the best, then Shannon and Rosemary (although this one seems a bit "old-fashioned"). Patience sounds okay, but I just personally don't care for that name, so I'm biased. I think Emily and Abigail end in that "L" sound that make it not as nice a flow into Leary. Actually, Isabelle has that L ending too, but I didn't notice it right away - maybe because it's so soft. I guess I like the sound of the "in" ending boys' names and "ette" or "a"-ending girls's names the best with Leary. Good luck in the search! -Cori
905.4		KYOS02::CHANG		`Thu Sep 23 1993 10:33`	26
	First, congratulations! For names, my first choice for a girl from your list was Isabelle but I discounted it for a first name because of the L's and Leary. Abigail had the same sound ending. But I do love both names. Anyhow, for girls names: Christine Shannon Leary Shannon Christine Leary Barbara Erin Leary Erica Suzette Leary Shannon Isabelle Leary Katherine Elaine Leary Boys names: George Prescott Leary Matthew Prescott Leary Aiden Prescott Leary Donald Prescott Leary Kevin Prescott Leary Chris Chang
905.5	Names for Leary	SOLVIT::BALBONI		`Thu Sep 23 1993 13:47`	17
	Michael, My mothers maiden was Leary. Let me list some of the Leary's in my family. Boys Girls ==== ===== George Leary Rita Leary David Leary Patricia Leary Brian Leary Christine Leary Patrick Leary Jennifer Leary Daniel Leary Staci Leary Jill Leary Just a few ideas. Denise
905.6	Hot off the press!	ABACUS::LEARY	CORE BREACH IN THE SALSA CHAMBER	`Fri Sep 24 1993 10:28`	17
	Hi again, Thanks for all the responses. Like the weather, Cindy has changed her mind about the name Trevor. I am not so sure I like it but Patrick has jumped towards the front as well. I really think she likes Caileigh K(eye)lee although it ends w/ ey sound. I don't think she will go w/ Dale any more which she was pushing hard for. I like Connor but Connor Prescott Leary doesn't particularly thrill me. Her grandfather's name James has made an appearance as well. The nickname JP is the strong influence for a J first name I think. Also Jaime for a girl is a front runner. I'll keep you posted. ML
905.7	Update...	ABACUS::LEARY	CORE BREACH IN THE SALSA CHAMBER	`Mon Oct 04 1993 13:11`	13
	My brother is going to name his child Jonathan Daniel Leary after the two grand-dads and Brenna is their choice for a l'il lady. Don't know about the girls middle name. We are still tossing and turning over our name choices. It is more difficult that I ever imagined to agree on one. Sheriden Prescott Leary is up there for boys and Shannon Isabelle Leary for girls but nothing is set in concrete yet. ML
