Saratoga Springs 793-3855 584-5055 Survey proves fascinating I read recently in a paper from another part of the state that a survey, of local birth annoucements showed Sarah and Matthew to be the big winners for 1984, with Jessica, Jennifer and Michael running close behind.

I was so intrigued by this information that I decided to conduct by own, highly informal, survey of The Post-Star birth announcements for the last three months of 1984. As you can see, the first problem with my certainly unscientific survey was that I was far too lazy to go through 12 months worth of papers so I settled for three. The second problem immediately apparent. The Post-Star doesn't generally print names with the birth announcements it receives from Glens Falls Hospital. But announcements from out of the area or from several neighboring hospitals did include names, so I settled for that.

My next discovery was that there were a lot more names given for boy babies than for girls. I'm not sure what to conclude from that. Are we about to be overrun by boys? Are grandparents calling in announcements about grandsons more enthusiastically than they are about granddaughters? Or, more likely, is my statistical sample so small, that the difference doesn't mean anything at all? One thing is clear. With 59 boys and 28 girls, I have a better survey of male than of female names. My main conclusion is that there is a lot of variety out there.

Parents are really individualists when it comes to naming their children. The winner for boys' names is Matthew wih four entries. Eric, James and Michael have three entries each. Of course, some of these are also used by other children as middle names, but I'm not nearly ambitious enough to start counting the middle names. Adam, Andrew, Bradley, Brian, Christopher, Patrick, Ryan, Timothy, Scott and Stephen each were chosen twice.

The other 26 names all were single entries: Alexander, clothes What's in a name? Each generation has its own favorites. Are your parents too strict? Hard to reach? Ann Landers' booklet, "Bugged By Parents? How to Get More Freedom," could help you bridge the generation gap.

Brandon, Corey, Craig, Daniel, David, Dennis, Elisha, Gregory, Jeffrey, Jeremy, John, Jonathan, Joseph, Joshua, Kellen, Kieran, Nathaniel, Nicholas, Richard, Rodney, Stephen, Webster and William. In my smaller sample of girls' names, I couldn't find any trend at all. Amanda wins by default, with three Second place goes to Elizabeth, with two children given that name. The other 23 names are single entries: Carrie, Casey, Chelsea, Christina, Colleen, Corinne, Erin, Erinne, Jennifer, Jessica, Jocelyn, Katy, Kayla, Kristin, Lauren, Lindsay, Mary, Meredith, Nina, Rachel, Rebecca, Starr and Vincescia.

I gave a lot of thought to names before choosing them for my own children. In the first place, I spent much of my childhood resenting my parents for the name they had chosen for me. I didn't want my kids to get that mad at their mother. When I was growing up, I liked to watch ch old movies on television. In most of the comedies, there was a very nice girl having trouble catching very nice boy because he had foolishly gotten engaged to a selfish, scheming, snobbish woman named you guessed it Sheila.

It didn't seem fair. When the moment came for a choice, I went for the simplest names possible: John, Michael and Susan. Of course, even that wasn't simple. My husband and I were fighting, about a name for the baby all the way to the hospital when Michael was born, and the only thing that finally stopped the argument was the severity of the labor pains. In the end, of course, I won.

What husband, after keeping his wife company in the labor room, could deny that she has earned the right to choose the baby's name? But lately, I have begun to suspect that all of the attention we poor misguided parents give to names is wasted effort. None of their friends call them by their names anyway. Among the teenage population at Glens Falls High School, John is known as Geezer or Geeze, a corruption of Magee. His column for the school newspaper is "Dear Geezer." Michael briefly was known as Little Geeze, but for reasons I've never quite understood, that was changed to Baby Huey. My stepdaughter, Katrina, is Kat.

When he joined us this year and started attending Glens Falls, my stepson, Erick, was almost immediately named, Psycho. In non-sports situations, this is. sometimes Nace instead, a simple corruption of Nason. When the children objected to my husband's driving style one day, he was dubbed Psycho Senior. When teens start talking about their friends, a parent could get lost.

So I asked my kids for help, and they gleefully agreed Barbizon MANUFACTURERS OF FINE LINGERIE SINCE 1917 Factory Outlet Store WINTER CLEARANCE SALE 50 OFF RETAIL ALL WINTER MERCHANDISE ROBES GOWNS PAJAMAS BED JACKETS CAMISOLES TEDDIES PAT-PANTS SUGG.
