Meet my Daughter Elowen.
You say: How lovely. Do you have strong connections with Cornwall?
You Think: I bet they've never even heard of Cornwall!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is my son Archer.
You say: I love the name Archer!
You Think: I really do love this name.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...and the these are our twins Thomas and Thea.
You say: Lovely names.
You Think: I like the way that, on paper, the names look quite similar, but when said out loud they are not very similar at all. Better than Theo and Thea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These are my daughters, Freya, Siri, Eira and Brynja.
You say: Freya is lovely, and the others are nice too.
You think: Poor Freya sticks out like a sore thumb, at least she has the knowledge that she got the best name to console herself with.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'd like you to meet my sons, Magnus and Cornelius, we call them Gus and Nelius.
You say: What unusual nicknames!
You Think: What stupid nicknames! You're obviously trying too hard to be upper class but don't want to appear as though you're trying too hard to be upper class so use stupid, pretentious nicknames to hide the painfully upper-cut full names.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is my son Jory.
You say: How unusual!
You think: Where on Earth did they get Jory from?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These are my sons, Alastar, Ronan, Liam and Finley.
You say: Do you hail from Ireland?
You Think: If they A) don't live in Ireland or B) don't have Irish ancestry, poor little misspelt Alastar's going to have the trick of it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These are my sons, Hollis and Quinn and my daughters, Darcy and Shelby.
You say: Could you repeat which ones are the boys and which are the girls?
You think: I really like Quinn on a boy, but within that sibset it's just too much!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These are my children, Albert, Helena, Eleanor and Hester, we usually call the Alby, Hela, Lenore and Esti.
You say: How lovely.
You think: I LOVE Albert "Alby". They others are trying too hard to be upper class for my taste.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These are my boys, London, Dallas and Dakota and my baby girl India.
You say: Did you want to create a map with your children's names?
You think: This sibset is so tacky it's making me feel sticky.
