Think/Say

[lisaann]

Say: Hi Jane, nice to meet you.
Think: Jane seems so plain compared to the middle name. I don't particularly care for either.

This is my daughter Reva.

[joel613]

Say: Reva, how cute your are! How are your today?
Think: A little too southern or soap operaish for my taste but not a terrible name.

I'd like to meet my cousins from Europe, Carola and Arno.

[ebonyeden]

Say: Hi Carola! Hi Arno! How are you?
Think: Carola makes me think of a car and I find it quite chunky. Arno seems like a nickname.

I'd like you to meet my children Octavia, Beatrix, August & Elizabeth and Hermione.

[helloheidi]

Say: Hi kids! How cute you all are!
Think: All these are just lovely names! I'm glad to see that Harry Potter hasn't kept people from using Hermione.

This is my son, Grant Isaac and my daughter, Christiana Louise.

[sylfessev]

Say: Hello!
Think: I like Grant Isaac, the combination, how about Isaac Grant? I find it equally lovely. Of Christiana Louise... I've never been a fan of Christiana, but of Louise yes. The combination clicks, but it's nothing spectacular.

Hi, may I introduce you to Louisa Kate and Daphne Ophelia

[lisaann]

Say: Hi girls, nice to meet you.
Think: I have never cared for Louisa but the combo sounds ok. Ophelia is definately not my style but sounds nice with Daphne.

This is my daughter Lynette.

[nono]

Say: Hello there, Lynette!
Think: It comes across as quite dated to me, but I find it a lot more interesting on an actual child than I did in a vacuum. I've always liked Linnet but I've been put-off by the fact that I thought it would generally get mispronounced as Lynette, but I'm not sure if that seems so bad anymore.

This is my son, Kester, and my daughters, Iona and Lark.

[littleredone]

Say: Hi, what unusual names!
Think: Kester: I like that its a variation of Christopher as opposed to going with the more popular version, but ironically, I like Christopher more. I would have gone with Crispin maybe, Kester sounds a bit too much like Kestrel for my liking.
Iona: I love this name, I think it is really unique and unusual without being weird and difficult to pronounce.
Lark: I don't really like Lark, even though I've never actually met anyone with that name, it seems a bit dated.

Meet Lionel Isaac

[lisaann]

Say: Hi Lionel, nice to meet you.
Think: It sounds cute but Lionel just isn't my style.

This is my son Keegan.

[amberdaydream]

Say: Hi, Keegan.
Think: NMS, but it's not a bad name at all, quite handsome actually. I like the Keagan spelling better.

Meet Alva Georgette.
