"This is my son, Alister; we call him Alis." [pronounced like "Alice"]
You say: "Hi, Alis."
You think: Alister is a nice name, but I don't like Alis for a boy.
(ALSO, what other full name would you suggest for the NN Alis/Alice/other spelling?)
"This is my son, Auberon."
You say: "Hello, Auberon. Nice name."
You think: I like the name Auberon. It's strong and I like its literary background, but I probably wouldn't use it as a FN myself.
"This is my son, Rose."
You say: "Hello, Rose."
You think: Rose for a boy? That's a bit much.
"This is my daughter, Kestrel."
You say: "Hi, Kestrel. Interesting name!"
You think: Kestrel is an interesting name, but it's not something I would use. I kind of like it, but it also kind of reminds me of the word "casserole."
"This is my son, Patrick; we call him Pax."
You say: "Hi, Pax."
You think: Pax is a cute NN for Patrick, but unfortunately, I think of the antidepressant Paxil when I hear the name Pax.
"This is my son, Augustin." [pronounced o-goos-TEN]
You say: "Hi, Augustin."
You think: Okay name. The "goo" part bothers me a bit though.
"This is my son, Rémy." [pronounced ray-MEE]
You say: "Hi, Rémy."
You think: Nice name.
"This is my daughter, Isobel; we call her Iso." [pronounced IZ-oh]
You say: "Hello, Iso."
You think: Isobel is nice, but I don't like Iso.
"This is my son, Garnet."
You say: "Hi, Garnet."
You think: Nice name.
"This is my son, Clare."
You say: "Hello, Clare."
You think: I prefer Clare for a girl, but it could be worse. Clair is a legitimate French boy's name, so Clare isn't too bad. It might be hard for a boy in the U.S. to be named Clare though. I prefer Clarence.
"This is my daughter, Agathe." [pronounced ah-GAH-teh]
You say: "Hi, Agathe."
You think: I don't like this name.
You say: "Hi, Alis."
You think: Alister is a nice name, but I don't like Alis for a boy.
(ALSO, what other full name would you suggest for the NN Alis/Alice/other spelling?)
