HelpRe: What you say/ What you think
in reply to a message by Brogan
"This is my daughter, Amelia. We call her Amy."
You say: Amelia is such a pretty name!
You think: Why did you have to ruin it by calling her Amy? It's so common, and I hate full names being used as nicknames when they have nothing to do with one another.
"This is my son, Seamus. We call him Shay."
You say: Seamus! What a perfect name for him.
You think: I loooove Seamus. I think Shay is so boring and almost trashy, though.
"This is my daughter, Cait." (Cait is pronounced like Kate)
You say: I love her name. I hardly ever hear it as a full name.
You think: I really do love it, I'm not even lying. I think it's short and sophisticated.
"This is my son, Philip. He goes by Phil."
You say: Philip is such a classic name. Good choice.
You think: Ugh. I had a grandfather named Philip that I just detested. It doesn't have good vibes. Plus Phil makes him sound prematurely like an old man.
"This is my daughter, Lydia. Everyone calls her Lyddie."
You say: Lydia is so beautiful.
You think: Lyddie? Give me a break. It's not even cute and undermines the attraction of her real name.
"This is my son, Christopher."
You say: Are you going to call him Christopher or give him a nickname?
You think: I sure as heck hope you call him Chris or else this poor kid will take ten minutes to write out his name until he gets past the second or third grade.
