Wasn't that the country singer that Homer almost cheated on marge with?
One of my old teachers, a one Mr. July, thought about naming his daughter
May June July. Seriously, I think May was her grandmother's name and June
her great grandmother's name (maternal grandparents, of course).
Fortunately his wife prevailed and they named her Sarah.

I'm sorry.
I really am.
But I can't tear my brain away from "Assistant Director".
Perhaps "Abigail Darlene", so she can still be "A. D. Skinner."

I really want to suggest Seven, but I won't. Sarah is a great name, as is
Catherine, and they go great together. But you can't do that. I've already
claimed it for my first daughter, if I ever have one.

Catherine.
That way she can be known to friends as "Cat Skinner". "There's more
than one way to skin a cat, and our daughter's the expert!"
Or perhaps just call her "Principal".

Howabout Anne or some variation thereof? It's my favourite name. Hence
my character name Aenna.
I like Anastasia too, but people will pronounce it anna-stay-zee-ah, which
sucks, because it should be anna-stah-zjia.
If we have a daughter, we're thinking of Sarah Anne. If we have a second
daughter, I'm personally leaning towards Emily, dunno about a middle name
yet. But Emily is a pretty name. So is Amelia.
I like some old Hebraic names, like Hannah (again, my Anne fetish) and
Rebeccah.
I don't mind my own name, I guess...Kimberly Michelle. Dunno why they
picked Kimberly, I'm just glad they didn't listen to my Scottish granny
who wanted to name me Wilhelmina. ANd the Michelle likely comes from the
fact that I was supposed to have been Jason Michael, but oops, I forgot my
winkie in my last life.

> Get a baby name book if you don't find good advice here.
OK, a few important pointers for the choice of baby names:
. First and foremost, the Screech Test. Pick a name you are happy to
screech down the aisle of a supermarket. Trust me on this. A name that
is beautiful and lyrical on paper and whispered softly over the crib can
sound quite different under such circumstances.
. The corollary of the Screech Test: pick a name ending in a vowel
sound. Names ending in consonants are very hard to scream.
. Be careful of acronyms. I personally am a monster from the ID
(Forbidden Planet). Any name starting with a vowel is potential trouble
so watch out. In Ami's case, we can only hope her middle name is not
Susan. However, even if you follow this advice there can still be
problems, isn't that right Dumpcaret?
. Be careful of homonyms. We have a friend whose surname is Cann. She
always wanted to name her son Oliver, until she met me. A minute's
thought and subvocalisation will show you why this is a bad idea ("Yes,
I'll have one too.") For similar reasons, she must also avoid the names
Tim, Danny, Bea, Steele... you get the idea.
. If you must name after relatives, only use their names as middle
names. How many kids are you planning to have anyway? I think this is
a Bad Idea in general, but that is only an opinion.
. Don't bother picking a short name in the mistaken impression that this
will stop other kids shortening it further or making up nicknames. My
parents fell for this one but it doesn't work.
That will do for now, but I'm sure others can add useful information.
Ian.

quite nice without having to shorten it to Cathy, Cat, Cate, or Caty. If you

Congratulations!
Get one of those books, pick a name, and then follow Ian's advice
about screeching -- in fact, go ahead to the market and try it out.
Then talk it over with friends, and get them to think of every name
joke they can possibly come up with -- one of Beverly's friends came
up with "Owl-licks" for Alex (I guess they'd seen the Tootsie Pop
commercial once too often). After that it seemed pretty safe.
With Alex, we went with family names, which also happened to be
mostly Irish in origin: Alexandra Dana Machree Kelly. It's quite
the long name for a little girl, I know, but the only real problem
we've had so far is that for a couple of years she was convinced
her middle name was "Andra" and she didn't care for it much. We've
convinced her that it's actually part of her first name, but she
still sticks with Alex or Al.
Let's see, I'll take a shot at this (no Clinton jokes, please):
Sally, Samantha, Stacy, Alicia (I really like that one, but as
someone else said, don't follow it with another "S" name), Nora,
Elaine, Elizabeth is always good, since there are plenty of
opportunities for popular diminutives. Margaret is also a popular
name for the same reason, and it's the only one I know that gives
you the nickname "Peggy," although why is beyond me.
My mother's first name is "Satirah," which goes a long way to
explain why she's always gone by "Ann". Not the strangest name
in her family by far: her grandfather was "Flavius Josephus Hoge."
My father's name was "Rixey Norwood Kelly." This should really help
by making most other names seem normal. And now, you can all stalk
my geneological chart across the Internet. Woohoo.

This would be great if it weren't for the Disney movie, which Ginny
quotes by the yard, also the rather prosaic last name "Skinner" is sort
of an anticlimax after the romantic buildup of "Anastasia".

Love them all, but we're already surrounded by Emilys and Sarahs, and
Amelia is my first name. Mine! All mine! Not Glaxo Wellcome's! No,
just kidding, we're considering Amelia, but then we could really only
call her Amy for short, which would be confusing.
I kind of like Camilla, but my sister's daughter is named that. Of
course, she's 22 now, so it's not like we'd get them mixed up.
There is a contingency in favor of Magnolia, believe it or not (we're
from Mississippi, remember?) which we'd shorten to Maggie. Again, dad is
not pleased with this.

I wish my mother had played the "Name Game" before naming her children,
since she used to shriek that song at each of us at top volume first
thing in the morning. This is the reason I learned to tell time and
asked for my own alarm clock when I was six. Of course, any name that
gets run through the "Name Game" grinder comes out rather the worse for
wear, so I won't do that, or this one may just end up with "Number 2
child".

Well, "Flavius Josephus" was the Jewish historian who gives us one of the
two objective historical accounts of the existence of a man named "Jesus
Christ". (Simply stating that he existed, had followers, and was
crucified.) FYI, the other is the Roman historian Tacitus (in "The Annals
of Tacitus")...
But that's *REALLY* reaching into obscure history for a name...

The number 1 name *not* to give your daughter. Arbutris. (long u)
I know someone by that name and her nickname is Booty.
Wrong, wrong, name for anyone.

I....see. Kathryn, as in my daughter's middle name? From now on, your
nickname is no longer "Blind Man," it's "Irish."

Tom Tom Harrington
>Hey Tom Tom, Why the two Toms anyway?
You _would_ ask. It's been so long that I've kinda forgotten why
I started doing it. For the record, my _real_ middle name is
not "Tom", it's "Matilda". No, it's not. It's "Preston". I seem
to recall that I adopted "Tom" after becoming envious of several
posters with interesting nicknames inserted between their first &
last names. I didn't have a nickname, so I had to use "Tom".

I have a Jewish friend at work who tells this story. A past relative
of his whom he never knew -- his grandfather's brother, I think --
applied for a job way back when in less tolerant times. On the
application form was a question about ethnicity. The gentleman in
question checked off "Jewish", and as it turns out did not get the
job (whether his being Jewish was a factor or not I don't believe
they knew for certain).
A few months later he went back to the same company and applied for
another job. This time, however, he checked off "French" on the
ethnicity question, and was hired. Of course, for the rest of his
life he was known as "Frenchy".
I like that story... 8)

Yeesh. You're right, family names are no help. Fortunately, in my
family the really horrible names seem to be confined to middle names.
Not that there any outstanding, wonderful first names... they just
aren't as bad as they could be. 8)
(Maybe Alta should have a little sister named Vista? *ahem*)
(I knew a girl in school with the last name May whose middle name was
April...)
Hmmm... girl's names... I had to do a termination calculation (i.e.
how much money is this person entitled to as a settlement of their
pension benefits now that they've resigned or been fired from the
company?) today for an ex-plan member named Nectaria. I know we're
not ever going to use that name, so you're welcome to it... *grin*
Has anybody mentioned Karen yet? Or Kara or Kayley? (spelled however
you like -- Cara? Kayleigh?) I'm thinking of names we'd never use
because they don't go with the last name, but that might go well with
Skinner... But what the heck do I know?

You know people named "Outhousia"?
I once read a discussion in another newsgroup about a woman at Wal-Mart
yelling at he daughter. The kid's name was "Fellatia". I really tried
to believe that this was just "Felicia" with some sort of accent.

My point was that you were telling him off for using a spelling when
your own is not the original either! Phonetically they are identical.

Would you believe a _last_ name of "Outhouse"?
for real.
For some reason, the two brothers, between them, werre state 'Golden Gloves'
(boxing) champions for something like seven years running.
One of them ended up in city government. Executive position, Department
head. the Water Department. which included sewage treatement.
Absolutely true

This makes perfect sense, if you think about it.

Are you kidding? Cartoons are the best thing to ever come out of
America! We get 'em all! My fave Tom & Jerry is the one where Jerry has
a dog whistle and every time Tom tries something, Jerry whistles and
Spike comes and beats the crap out of him. Hee hee.

Nunh-uh. I didn't miss the reference, it was just another good
opportunity to give you shit about your accent, which I know is
funny because you're Austrian.
Too bad Mel Blanc didn't ever do any characters from down under --
I bet it would have been hilarious.

OK, some of my fave girls names of all time: Sharon, Amy, Diana [2],
Annetta, Phoebe [1], Caroline, Jessica, Jennifer.
Poor choices for girls' names: Mulva, Dietburga, Fatima.

My father use to combine the short forms of my first and middle names all
the time--"Dan Matt, get down these stairs right now!" (My father was never
mad at me, he just thought it was funny to say Dan Matt)

I didn't know that Austria was referred to as "down under" I thought that
was reserved for Australia. No wonder that's always been so confusing...
