This is my son Linus John Paul
say: Hi, Linus. I love your name.
think: I've actually met a Linus! That's so cool! I'm not sure I'd pair it with John Paul, but it's not bad, and John Paul is a nice middle name set.
This is my son Ezra Sergius Karol
say: Hello, Ezra.
think: Okay, Ezra has never been a favorite of mine, Sergius is a little better, but Ezra Sergius Karol all together is a little much. If they wanted a prophet's name, Elijah Sergius Karol sounds so much better to me. Ezra wouldn't be bad with a different mn, either--Ezra Sergius just sounds so stuffy and trying-to-be-scholarly to me.
This is my son Isaac Ariel we call him Ike.
say: Hi, Isaac.
think: Please don't insist I shorten it to Ike, I like Isaac so much better. Zac wouldn't be so bad, but I just don't like Ike. I'm not so sure Ariel is the right mn for Isaac, either; it's not awful, but the flow just doesn't seem right--the two names just end up squishing together into Isaacariel when I try to say it, unless I really make an effort to separate them.
This is my son Russell Ira
say: Hi, Russell.
think: Hmmm, not bad. Neither name is really my style, and Ira sounds slightly unfinished at the end there, but it's not bad.
say: Hi, Linus. I love your name.
think: I've actually met a Linus! That's so cool! I'm not sure I'd pair it with John Paul, but it's not bad, and John Paul is a nice middle name set.

This is my son Linus John Paul
say: Nice to meet you, Linus. I love your name.
think: Linus is awesome! John and Paul are classic and handsome, although a bit boring and Pope-y when put together.
This is my son Ezra Sergius Karol
say: Nice to meet you, Ezra. You have a very handsome name, too.
think: Ezra's as awesome as Linus...Sergius and Karol are a little too weird for me.
This is my son Isaac Ariel we call him Ike.
say: Nice to meet you, Ike.
think: I like Ike. I like Ike. I like Ike. Hehe...
This is my son Russell Ira
say: Nice to meet you, Russell.
think: Ira? I wonder if it's after family or something...
This is my son Curtis Florian
say: Nice to meet you, Curtis.
think: Florian's awesome, but not such a fan of Curtis...
This is my son Leonti Gamaliel we call him Leo
say: I'm sorry, but what was his full name?
think: That's quite a mouthful...
This is my son Ezekiel Conrad we call him Zeke
say: Nice to meet you, Zeke.
think: Very handsome combo. Ezekiel is nice, if a little too popular, and I've loved Conrad since I saw "Bye, Bye, Birdie." We love you, Conrad...Oh, yes, we do...
This is my son Isidore Ignatius we call him Dory.
say: Nice to meet you, Dory. Do you ever go by Izzy?
think: Isidore is great, but Dory's just asking to be made fun of. Ignatius is awesome!
This is my son Augustine Jude we call him Gus
say: Nice to meet you, Gus. You know, my daughter goes by Gus, too, but her name is Augusta.
think: I prefer Augusta, but Jude is lovely on a boy.
This is my son Elliott Ambrose
say: Nice to meet you, Elliott.
think: Ambrose is great. Elliott isn't my style at all.
This is my son Eliezer Luke we call him Eli
say: Nice to meet you, Eli. Does anyone ever get you and Elliott confused?
think: I prefer Elias as Eliezer sounds like "sleezy" to me, but it does remind me of Elie Wiesl (sp?), the author of "Night," which I loved. And Luke is very handsome. Eli is too close to Elliott, even though I love it.
say: Nice to meet you, Linus. I love your name.
think: Linus is awesome! John and Paul are classic and handsome, although a bit boring and Pope-y when put together.

This is my son Linus John Paul
say: Hello, Linus.
think: I like it, its cute. John-Paul would have been better, imo. Sounds more like one name, usually don't care for two mm.
This is my son Ezra Sergius Karol
say: Hi Ezra.
think: Ezra who-de-who? Then I'd be thinking of Ezra Pound.
This is my son Isaac Ariel we call him Ike.
say: Hehe, I like Ike! (yes, I am a dork)
think: I like it. But Ariel will always be a mermaid.
This is my son Russell Ira
say: Nice to meet you.

say: Hi.
think: Gag me.
This is my son Leonti Gamaliel we call him Leo
say: Leo! I love the name Leo!
think: I love the name Leo...esp in this case since it's the only part of his name I can say. Why not Leopold? They never use Leopold.

say: Nice to meet you Zeke.
think: Cute name, but Conrad doesn't fit.

This is my son Linus John Paul
say: Linus, that's a great name.
think: John Paul? Is your kid the pope, or what?
This is my son Ezra Sergius Karol
say: I like Ezra.
think: You're just trying to make it impossible for the kid to spell his full name until he's his puberty, aren't you?
This is my son Isaac Ariel we call him Ike.
say: Isaac is actually one of my favourite names.
think: The Little Jewish Mermaid? And why do you call him Ike? What on Earth is wrong with Isaac?
