977.0. "HELP with a boy's name" by EST::SNOLAN (Susan) Fri Jan 20 1995 11:34

    Time to ask for help!
    
    My due date is less than 4 weeks away and we're still not settled
    on a boy's name.  This is our first baby, we're pretty much open
    but tend to prefer more traditional names. Our last name is Nolan
    and Dad's name is Scott William.    
    
    I am persian, so the baby will have a persian middle name and we're 
    not too concerned about how it sounds with the first name but we
    are having a hard time with a first name for a boy.
    
    If its a girl, her name will be "Christine Tahereh", that was easy!
    For a boy, the middle name will be either "Mehdi" or "Nabil" and they
    are both pronounced as written.  We've thought of the following first
    names but would like more ideas:
    
    Alexander (Alex).........although we know too many boys named Alex
    Nathan    ...............too many "n"s with Nolan ?
    Michael 
    John
    
    Your help is appreciated.....we don't have much time.

977.1What about Alec?ASIC::MYERSMon Jan 23 1995 09:4615
    Hi Susan!
    
    I know what you mean, for some reason boy's names are tough.  We've got
    a lot of girl's names picked out, but can't find a good boys name.  I
    think we may end up with what Sarah would have been if she had been a
    boy (Cameron).
    
    I really like Alex, but thinks it's a little too common, too.  What
    about Alec?  It sounds similar but is different enough.  I think it
    sounds good with Nolan.
    
    By the way, everyone thinks you're having a girl 8^)

    Hi,
    
    I know how tough it is to come up with and settle on a good name. My 
    husband and I are going through the same thing right now except we're 
    having a hard time settling on a girl's name. Oh well, we have 5 more 
    weeks to think about it! 
    
    I do like the sounds of Alec Nolan. On a similar note, how about Eric
    Nolan? 
    
    Here's a name that's traditional and not all that common - Thomas. My 
    nephew's name is Thomas and the name has really grown on me. 
    
    Also, James Nolan sounds nice. 
    
    Good luck in your search!
