This is my daughter, Teal Juliette
You Say: Juliette is so nice!
You Think: Teal? Is she insane?!
Meet my daughter, Jordana Eve!
You Say: Oh, great name!
You Think: It's not great, but Jordana is a major GP of mine, and Eve is lovely as a middle or first name.
This is my daughter, Erin Leonora
You Say: How nice!
You Think: Erin's kind of boring, but it's growing on me. And Leonora's very good.
My daughter, Enya Simone, is pleased to meet you.
You Say: Hello Enya Simone
You Think: Enya? That sounds so silly. And Simone is so trashy, I hope it doesn't become a new filler mn.
_______, meet my daughter, Salem Penelope.
You Say: Hey Salem.
You Think: Salem's interesting. I don't usually like place names, but I haven't heard this before. And Penelope is fun, I'm glad someone is named it.
Cambria Rosamund, say hello to _____!
You Say: Hello, Cambria!
You Think: Ugh, I can't stand Cambria, but Rosamund is so good! Br- is so ugly, and Bria in all its forms is so dated and tacky. But Rosamund is so classy and underused. How did two such different names come out of the same parents? And why is Cambria first?
This is my daughter, Lucinda Isabelle.
You Say: Awesome!
You Think: I LOVE Lucinda! And Isabelle is nice, if overused lately. At least it's a middle name.
This is my daughter, Simona Magdalene.
You Say: Cool
You Think: Simona's a little better than Simone, I guess. And I'm glad to see a parent with enough guts to use Magdalene. Simona Magdalene goes nicely anyway.
