Greetings;

I'm delighted to announce that I'm in "production" for a new event
which should debut somewhere around March 17, 2008. So far so good,
I'm feeling well, getting a little belly, and of course, we are very
excited!

Now, here's the hard part. We are not going to learn to gender of the
baby, and we are having a hell of a time coming up with names if it is
a boy. It would be so great if we could find the perfect name
somewhere in musical theatre history, but we are coming up short -
Irving, Ira, Frank, Harold and George just don't work for me! Stephen
is a possibility, but I am not crazy about it.

So, put your thinking caps and give me some suggestions! I'm open to
names of directors, composers, lyricists, actors, or characters. Here
are my criteria:

1. Must be more than one syllable. We have a one-syllable surname, so
we need two or more syllables for things to sound best, at least to my
ear.
2. Nothing too popular, but nothing too weird. I was one of multitudes
of Amys in school, so I don't want my kid to be put through the same
experience. By the same token, I don't want too strange a name -
sorry, Fiorello's off the list! I'd prefer something classic that
perhaps is not in common use at the moment.
3. Surname begins with "L," so first name should not end with "L" -
this bothers me.
4. If possible, I'd like a name that doesn't lend itself to nicknames.
For example, I'm partial to Charles, but don't want to be fighting
everyone's urge to call him Chuck for the rest of my life.

C'mon gang, show me what ya got!
Cheers!
Amy :)
