Re: You Say/ You Think - all boys (long)
in reply to a message by Caroline Mae
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?
This is my son Russell Ira
say: Nice.
think: Um...Russell? Ira? Poor kid.
This is my son Curtis Florian
say: Good names. I love the name Florian.
think: But why are they paired together? They clash.
This is my son Leonti Gamaliel we call him Leo
say: I quite like Leo.
think: His full name is more of a headache than Ezra's, poor kid.
This is my son Ezekiel Conrad we call him Zeke
say: What a cute name!
think: What a stereotype! (Although I really do like the name, when I hear the name Ezekiel, all I can think of is stereotypes.)
This is my son Isidore Ignatius we call him Dory.
say: Cool name.
think: What were you smoking? And why does he have a female name for a NN? And really, can I have what you were smoking?
This is my son Augustine Jude we call him Gus
say: I like it.
think: Augustine is a little over the top, but with a nickname like Gus it's fine.
This is my son Elliott Ambrose
say: They sound great together.
think: Your son's first names are also getting a little repetitive and possibly confusing, especially since the next kid down is called Eli...which I would definetly call an Elliott.
This is my son Eliezer Luke we call him Eli
say: That's a cool name.
think: Bless you.
say: Linus, that's a great name.
think: John Paul? Is your kid the pope, or what?
