Opinions please - names
Cheryl S. wrote in message ... LOL. I had Allegra on my list when picking names for Julie, and the allergy medication didn't even occur to me until I posted a poll here. It's so musical, and I associate the name more with the ballerina Allegra Kent than with the medication, even though I've taken it myself! I love the name and I'm glad to see someone use it. -- Cheryl S. Mom to Julie, 2 yr., 3 mo. And a boy, EDD 4.Sept OMG I remember that poll!!!! But I didn't *know* you at the time, because IIRC, you didn't post much before Julie was born. But I remember a thread about the name allegra and it being an allergy medication. BTW, do you *really* not know who Will Smith is, Cheryl????????? laurie mommy to Jessica, 27 months and Christopher, 12 weeks *This email address is now valid* Cleaning the house while your children are small is like shoveling the sidewalk while it's still snowing. |

Alegra basically means "Exuberantly cheerful"
And that is precisely how having her made Jarrod and I feel, so it fit ;-) You could have named her Joy. I really like Alegra, though, and I think you chose a beautiful name! Joy http://community.webtv.net/joybelle15/ROSESCLUBFOOTPAGE |

Derek
-------- Makes me think of when I was a kid and had Barbie and the Rockers Derek doll. It's an okay name. Not my favorite but not bad either. Evan -------- My favorite of your choices! I just like this name. Jaden --------- Too popular and used too often for girls. Jeremy ---------- A name I've never cared for. It just seems like a fitting name for a kid to me but not an adult. My BIL's name is Jeremy, and my sister calls him Jerm. Rajan (rah-JAHN) ----------------------- I like it. William ---------- Great name, also! Evan and William are winners, I think.

William is my favorite, but I would want to make sure I could keep people from shortening it to Billy or Willy (Bill or Will would be ok, I just don't like the -y ending.) I have a problem with a lot of boys nicknames like that. I think it comes from my dad. His name is Ronald, and you can always tell when he runs into someone he knew from high school, because they always call him Ronnie, which I think sounds silly for a 60 year old man! JMO though... It probably doesn't bother anyone but me, but it might be something to keep in mind. Sandi Abby (9/20/00) Natalie (7/27/02...almost 1!!) |

Derek Evan Jaden Jeremy Rajan (rah-JAHN) - FIL is from India, so this isn't out of place with our last name. William Hi Cheryl! I like Rajan, and I think it'll sound good with your last name, too. We have some friends with family from India who have used more 'unusual' names (compared to most in Ohio!), and they've fit in quite well with the other little ones. As they're learning to talk, they're learning a wider variety of names and sounds than we were ever exposed to, and I love that. Only issue, I'd think, is how do you think it goes with Julie? I may be sensitive to this, but because Sage and Solana look so dissimilar, we've actually had people ask us if they're from different marriages. Obviously people we don't know well, but still. I think it's offensive to the kids, and me! Do you think people might ask weird questions with such different names? Jeremy was on our *short* list of boys names both times. I think it would go well with Julie, too. What about Jeremy Rajan? Do you have middle names picked out? Tina. P.S. -- OK -- rereading my post, I don't think Julie and Rajan sound *bad* together, and I don't want to give that impression -- they just sound very different. Not necessarily good or bad. Just noticing! Glad you're doing well! T. |

om... Only issue, I'd think, is how do you think it goes with Julie? Do you think people might ask weird questions with such different names? I'm sure people will ask weird questions, regardless of names. ;-) I get what you're saying though, and I have thought about that. Ideally I'd like to find as "English-looking" a Sanskrit name as I can find, if that makes any sense. There are so many "different", made-up names being used now I'm guessing it won't be thought much of. Also, I know it's sexist, but I figure Julie's likely to change her last name at marriage, and likely to something non-Indian, so I'm not as concerned about her name "going with" our last name. Just as a totally unrelated LOL - when my ILs were visiting last weekend we took Julie to the playground, and a grandma at the next swing started up a conversation commenting on how *tanned* my FIL was, wondering if they were visiting from Florida. (Many retired people from around here live here in summer and in Florida in winter.) He didn't bother to explain, just said he plays a lot of golf. Jeremy was on our *short* list of boys names both times. I think it would go well with Julie, too. What about Jeremy Rajan? Do you have middle names picked out? I'd like to continue DH's father's family's long-standing tradition of using the father's first name as the first son's middle name. It is hard to find any name that flows with DH's name as a middle name though, and DH is not all that concerned about doing it "just to keep up a tradition". He'd rather the name sound really good. I've also wondered if it's too cutesy to have both kids' names start with "J", but I don't find that to be the case with Sage and Solana at all. DH and I seem to gravitate toward "J" names for some reason. P.S. -- OK -- rereading my post, I don't think Julie and Rajan sound *bad* together, and I don't want to give that impression -- they just sound very different. Not necessarily good or bad. Just noticing! Glad you're doing well! Thanks for clarifying! :-) You take care of yourself, y'hear? (referring to your post under Circe's "I'm home" thread) -- Cheryl S. Mom to Julie, 2 yr., 3 mo.
