Re: You Say/ You Think - all boys (long)
in reply to a message by Caroline Mae
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.
