[Games] Re: You say, you think
in reply to a message by Elinor
"This is my daughter, Estella Skye." (Skye is after the island, which is very special to me.)
You say: How lovely! I had a parakeet named Skye.
You think: And a vampire character named Estella. How I love that name.
"This is my daughter, Coral Sophia."
You say: Very pretty. Coral is nice.
You think: Coralie and Coraline are nicer, of course, but it's still interesting.
"This is my daughter, Coral Morgan."
You say: Very pretty. Coral is nice.
You think: Blech, Morgan.
"This is my son, Skye Andrew Morgan." (Again, Skye honours the place.)
You say: What a cool name! I had a parakeet named Skye.
You think: MORGAN! WOOT! Reminds me of the guy in Super-Size Me. He was a Morgan, too.
"This is my son, Jonah Rhett"
You say: I love the name Jonah!
You think: And if I was some sort of Southern obsessive, I'd care about Rhett, but dude, it's ALL about the Jonah.
"This is my daughter, Saoirse." (SEER-shuh)
You say: How pretty. That's one of my favourite Irish names.
You think: Sucks that it's a monster to spell. Otherwise, it's perfect.
"This is my son, Esme Nichol." (NIK-ul EZ-may)
You say: How nice. I do like Esme.
You think: Very continental. I kind of wish I wasn't so indifferent, because I know I should like these names--they're just wholly uninteresting to me. But Esme is appropriately femmy, and so I like it.
"This is my daughter, Rowan Estella Hope."
You say: How nice. Estella is one of my favourite names.
You think: Rowan is a boys' name! And Hope is one of the whiniest names on the face of the planet. But oh, Estella...
"This is my son, Seth."
You say: Nice name.
You think: Very nice. If the one I know didn't suck, I'd consider it.
"This is my son, Sasha." (formal name is Alexander).
You say: How lovely! I love Sasha.
You think: Prefer Sascha, of course, which looks manlier, but Sasha is such a relief to hear on a boy. I knew one once--what a nice kid he was.
"This is my daughter, Sasha." (formal name is Alexandria).
You say: How pretty.
You think: Nice. Too bad she's really an Alexandria--I do love to see boy Saschas.
