This is my son Henry:
(Henry Oliver)
You Say: "Oh, that's my father's name!"
You Think: It's not a name I'd use - a little too stodgy in my opinion, and it's getting kind of trendy, but my brother plans to use it.

This is my daughter Annabel, we call her Annie:
(Annabel Clare)
You Say: "Isn't that sweet?"
You think: Not how I'd spell it, but it's a cute name. Don't like Annie as a nickname though. The sound grates. Anne would be fine, or Anna, or just Belle

---

This is my son William:
(William James)
You Say: "That's one of my favorite names!"
You think: I love that name, but it seems like it's getting really popular lately. I hope they don't call him Will - I knew a Will who I didn't like. Wil or Liam would be wonderful though.

This is my daughter Katherine, we call her Kate:
(Katherine Emily)
You Say: "That's a lovely name"
You think: Boring, but classic. Hate Emily.

---

This is my son Thomas:
(Thomas Alexander)
You Say: "Cute"
You think: How nice to see a less common Biblical name - at least one that's less common now. I hope they call him Tom or Thom. Sigh, Tom Paris . . .

This is my daughter Margaret, we call her Maggie:
(Margaret Julia)
You Say: "I've always liked the name Maggie"
You Think: Granted, it makes me think maggot, but I do like the name. Margaret just makes me think of that brat on Dennis the Menace, though. Really, I prefer Meg, but I knew the most adorable little Maggie once . . .

This is my son Hugo:
(Hugo Sebastian)
You say: "Oh, I love it!"
You think: Oh, I love it! Hugo Weaving! And Sebastian is an awesome name!

---

This is my daughter Susannah:
(Susannah Eloise)
You say: "How pretty"
You think: I've really started to like Susannah lately - it's got more spunk than Susan and is prettier than Suzanne

---

This is my daughter Genevieve:
(Genevieve Aurelia)
You Say: "Splendid!"
you think: Favorite, favorite name for a girl! I'm so glad that someone is using it.
