| 939.1 | My thoughts on unusual middle names. | DEMON::ANCTIL | | Wed Apr 06 1994 16:39 | 21 |
| Hi,
My opinion on the middle name issue is that I noticed my middle name
alot when I got married. It showed up on our wedding invitations,
and the priest called us by our first and middle name all through the
ceremony. I didn't mind it cause my middle name is pretty common,
(Marie), and I like it. If my middle name was a name that I was not
comfortable with, I would probably not like to hear it throughout the
ceremony and I probably wouldn't have framed my wedding invitation
either.
You should pick a middle name that flows easily and sounds nice with
the child's first name. From my experience, the whole first year of
my daughter's life, I have called her by her first and middle name
together. I like the way it sounds together and she seems to listen
to me more when I say both names together.
Good luck!!

| 939.2 | Colin Woods sounds good to me. | TECRUS::BWATERS | | Thu Apr 07 1994 13:12 | 10 |
| I like Colin Douglas Woods. Ian Woods sounds nice too.
Girls names are more difficult for me. I like your selection,
and probably tend toward the 2 syllable names you've listed,
such as Kirsten.
I too would probably choose a middle name more because of how
it sounded with the first and last. But in the end, I doubt it
matters all that much since it is used infrequently.

| 939.3 | Middle names with meaning | MRKTNG::PRTZEL::MURRY | Is it 1996 yet?! | Thu Apr 07 1994 14:39 | 12 |
| For me personally, my middle name is rarely used by me, and so I think I
would choose middle names for my children because they mean something-like a
relative's name, but I won't be too concerned if they don't flow as well as
just the first and last name. To me, the first name should be the most
important as far as uniqueness and flow with the last name, but then we can
use the middle name to honor special people in our lives. I don't really
like the thought of just using a middle name just for the heck of it. My
middle name is Marie and although it's common, it also has special meaning
since it is derived from Mary and that is my mother's name and that is why
she used it.

| 939.4 | Katrina Jane Wood | IOSG::EVANSG | | Thu May 12 1994 07:33 | 13 |
| Well, my married name is Wood and we called our little girl Katrina
Jane. In our case, the first name (at least) had to be pronouceable
(sp?) in both English and German (I am German and my parents don't
speak a word of English). Katrina seemed to fit the bill and I chose
Jane just because it seemed to 'flow' better.
Now of course, our daughter is almost three years old and calls herself
Nina......

| 939.5 | Connor Nathaniel | WRAFLC::WOODS | | Wed Jun 22 1994 08:53 | 7 |
| Thought I would let you know that Connor Nathaniel Woods was born on
May 5th. My doctor induced labor at 1:00pm and Connor arrived at
5:45pm weighing 7 pounds and 20 inches long.
We decided on Alexandra Michelle (or Nicole) for a girl.
