Conference oass::babynames

    Ron, are you saying that you'd like a boy's name that reflects
    either your origin or your last name's origin?
    
    There are a ton to choose from here - I always feel a little
    silly repeating the same names note after note, if they are
    my favourites. Look around a bit - especially the notes that 
    offer large lists of names. Do you want to use a name in
    your family (something not obvious, but there- like a father's
    or grandfather's middle name?)
    
    Do you have any members of the family that speak another language?
    (Some really nice english names sound very funny when pronounced
    by a german, french or dutch person - trust me!)
    
    Of the german names I can think of, just off the top of my
    head (using my family's names):
    
    Walter     Kurt       Heinz      Kai
    Heinrich   Johann     Nikol      Uve
    Stefan     Gustav     Gerhard    Jochen
    Martin     Arnold     Richard    Nils
    Markus     Sebastian  Reinhard   Jan
    Ernst      Wolfgang   Bernd      Bruno       
    
    But I think I've mentioned these elsewhere......8-)

    Hi Monica,
    
    
    Thanks for the names so far, but i only mentioned my last name, and
    it's heritage for information reason's only.
    We are'nt especially looking for German names as an matters of fact.
    If we would get a daughter, Amy will be her name, so as you can also
    see English names are also on the list.
    We also only want to use one name, and no middele or third names.
    
    Thanks from once again a very rainy Holland.

    
    Here are some more one-syllable names to think about:
    
              Brett                         Payne
              Bruce                         Paul
              Chad                          Reese
              Charles                       Rhett
              Chase                         Ross
              Dale                          Royce
              Graham                        Troy
              Grant                         Vance
              James                         Wade
              keith                         Wynn
              Lloyd

    February 27th)!  (Still haven't decided on names either)!  My husband

    Hi Christina,
    
    
    Congratulations! , 
    
    What do you think about,
    
    
    Laura
    Nicole
    Amy
    Brenda (you know from the serie Beverly Hills 90210)
    Renee
    Elizabeth
    
    My wife and i are now thinking about
    joeri or the Spanish name Jaime (gaime)
    
    Your favorite name won't be our name
    because my brother's name is Eric.
    
    I have three brothers and their name's are Eric, Marc, Maarten.
    
    
    Greetings from once again a very floody Holland (the rivers are
    growing).
    
    Ron
    

    Hi ROn, 
    
    You mention Jaime (Gaime)  how is that pronounced?  Here we would say 
    Jaime as in Jay-Me.  Joeri is interesting....  Is that pronounced
    Joe-Ri or how?  I like it./...  
    
    Laura Phelan is a nice name, that one has been placed on our list. 
    Nicole is very pretty too, though friends of ours have a 10 month old
    named Nicole and even though we don't see them to often it might be
    odd.   BUT, we doo like it and we really aren't that close with them,
    so it may not matter.  Nicole was one of our choices for our son Eric
    if he were a girl!  I am still going to consider it for this child, if
    it's is a girl.  
    
    I guess maybe just the "perfect" name will pop up, once my husband and
    I look into our baby's beautiful face.  
    
    Thanks for the input and please keep sending the suggestions as I
    greatly appreciate it!!!!!  
    
    I hope your house is not floating away!!!!  Have the floods calmed
    down?
    
    Take Care!!!

    Oh wow, isn't that funny that Eric is your brothers name! 
    
    Jaime is a very nice choice - you wrote (gaime) how is this pronouced? 
    Here we would say: "Jay-me" Is it different in Holland?  

    Hi Christina,
    
    
    First of al the best wishes for you and your family.
    The name JAIME, is a Spanish name and they pronounce it like GAIME
    gggaime, and there they use it as a boy's name.
    But you can also use the name as in Jaimie.
    
    We probably go for the name Joeri or Raoul, these names our the ones
    popping up everytime.
