HelpYou Say, You Think
Most of these are of my creation, but a few are my real friends' names...some of those are rather interesting actually. (A little long-winded, yes, and I used two variants of Raphael because one is a name I like quite a bit and one is my friend's name that I wanted to use very much. Oh, and be horribly mean in the "you think" if you hate the name, it amuses me.)
This is my daughter Echo Anthea.

Come on, if you're Harpo, you're in love with Thea. It's just the truth.
Also, as Vivian, my middle name is Lucia, so "Vivian Lucia is a better name" would have made more sense.
Oh, and Rafael is neither French nor Italian...it's German...a German variant of Raphael...which is so Jewish it puts, well, Harpo to shame...though it can't...cause it's his name...I have confused myself.
My damn transliterations are straight. There isn't a Greek variant of Rylan.
And about the Zalman thing....HAHAHA. Yes he is. (I almost used the name Zalman by the way and then realised that would be weird...)

Something's wrong. Here's the rest.
For some reason I can't put all of it into one post. So here's the rest.
This is my daughter Ingrid Brunhild.
You say: Ingrid? That's a good strong name.
You think: Ingrid? That's a good strong name. Brunhild? Not because it's too consantant-y, but I just don't like it. I dunno why...
This is my son Lyle Delmar.
You say: How nice.
You think: Lyle. Another silly name. Harpo Lyle? *bursts into laughter*
This is my daughter Thea Camille.
You say: How beautiful!
You think: That is a gorgeous name!!

Heavens! And more...
Any idea why this is happening?
This is my daughter Sarah Elaine:
You say: What a pretty name. Hello, Sarah.
You think: Sarah is a nice name, but so overused...
This is my son Rafael Cesaire.
You say: What is up, Rafael?
You think: Hmm. What nationality is he? I don't mean to sound rascist, but I would love this name on a Hispanic boy and dislike it on a white. I'm not rascist, promise...
This is my daughter Lucy Hermione.
You say: Hello, Lucy.
You think: Lucy. How utterly childish. No growing room with that one.
This is my son Rylan Patrokles.
You say: Hey, Rylan.
You think: Rylan. I like it muy muy mucho. It's a hot name. Patrokles?? Is that Greek? Cause if it is (which means it's probably pronounced something like pa-TRO-klees) it's ok. But I'm picturing it pronounced pa-TRO-k'ls... Which goes right beside Lyle and Harpo. *snicker*
This is my son Leonidas Beowulf, we call him Leon.
You say: Hey Leon.
You think: I like Leo better than Leon. As for the other names? ...I'm not even gonna touch those. *grimace*

you're right, Patrokles is Greek, and is pronounded pa-TRO-klees. Patrokles was the lover and companion of Achilles in the original Illiad.

He was also, as indicated in my signature, totally Achilles's cousin.
(He actually was not, it's a joke on the movie Troy. *whistles* Definetly not here...didn't say anything... who said that?)

You think: I love her first name too, but elementary school must be/must have been horrible for her.
This is my son Raphael Harpo, we call him Harpo.
You say: Interesting.
You think: Harpo. HA! Now that's a laughable name. Harpo. That will keep me laughing through the next week of boring science class.
This is my son Alison Bartholomew.
You say: Alison! Great to see that name used on a boy.
You think: Although society will probably not think so; he'll get teased for having a girl's name. As for Bartholomew, I hate long names, especially boys' names. Maximilian, Bartholomew, Sebastian -- they all are horribly wussy and overbearing in my opinion.

Why yes, I do live in the Pioneer Valley! And I am a hippie. I mean, you've been to PVPA, you know how we roll. No, we do NOT go to church. Why would you say that? I named my son Alison because it is an AWESOME name. Also because, clearly, I'm mean and want my kids to be teased (note that my daughter is named Echo). I am not a rich snob! How could a hippie be a rich snob? Keep your insults straight.
Lyle Delmar is indeed charming, though he seems to lack a Jack. *sighs* Alackaday. (Of course in RL Lyle's mn is Harrison, which is gross. His first and last names are so pretty together and then...ew.)
Yes, like HP. Only totally not. I weep because nobody can use that name anymore. It's like Adolf. *really likes the name Adolf* Then again, Benny claims I'm a nazi so... Why yes, I am an art critic, except totally not. And yes, we are royalty. My name is actually Elizabeth. Elizabeth XIV.
And I love you too, Stell.
