"This is my daughter,
Kelsey Liana."
You say: I like her middle name-
Liana is very pretty.
You think: Ditto above, but
Kelsey is so tired and cutesy on a girl. Much more charming on a boy.
"Meet my son
Finley Faust."
You say:
Finley is a handsome name. Is Faust in reference to Gounod's opera, by any chance?
You think: I love
Faust, but I'm not sure that I would give a child that name.
"This is my little girl,
Estella Claire."
You say: She has a very pretty name.
You think: Ditto above.
"Ths is my son, Ryland
Per."
You say: I've never heard those names before.
You think: I hate names ending in -land... makes it look more like a country than a person's name.
"My name is
Arabella Konstance"
You say: I like
Arabella. Does she go by
Bella? I've never seen
Constance spelled like that before.
You think: I love
Bella as a nn for
Arabella. I hope she has a cultural reason for the spelling Konstance instead of
Constance.
"This is my son,
Paul Bostic."
You say: Where did you find his middle name?
You think: I hope there's a good explaination for it.
Paul is too bland for my taste.
