Re: You Say, You Think
in reply to a message by Victoria
This is my son, Caden Noah.
You Say: Hello.
You Think: Gag. This is the fifth little Caden I've met this month. When are people going to realize what a lame ugly trendoid name this is? Doesn't Cade mean, like, rotund or something? Kill me already! Noah is nice, it's a little trendy now but it's a good old-fashioned biblical name.
This is my daughter, Rosabella Marie.
You Say: Oh, nice to meet you Rosabella!
You Think: Nice. Rosabella's not something you see very often, it's a little flowery but I think I like it. Lots of nickname potential there. Marie's fillery, but it's one of my very favorites of the filler names.
This is my son, Logan Walter.
You Say: How handsome!
You Think: It's kind of handsome. Logan's pretty trendy, but it's always been on my own list as a family name, so I have a hard time classifying it with the others. Walter rocks, I wish I knew more people named it. Walter Logan would be better.
This is my daughter, Miranda Scarlett. You can also call her Mimi.
You Say: Oh, how nice! Nice to meet you, Mimi.
You Think: Mimi's so cute, I love it. That rocks. I love Miranda and Scarlett. Scarlett Miranda flows better, but flow doesn't really matter much to me.
This is my son, Jason Nathaniel.
You Say: Hello, Jason.
You Think: Ugh. Jason is so boring, and if he goes by "Jase" when he gets older I'll roll my eyes a lot. At least it's a name with some good Greek history and not some silly bastardized Irish nonsense like Cade or Caden or whatever. Nathaniel is good, I've always liked it a lot.
This is my daughter, Willa Elaine.
You Say: Oh, that's beautiful!
You Think: It is. Willa is so nice, and so is Elaine, and they go together excellently. How refreshing!
This is my son, Gabriel Rowan.
You Say: Neat
You Think: I like Gabriel well enough, it's really trendy though. I'm really, really tired of Rowan, especially how many people on BtN approve of it.
This is my daughter, Bernadette Elizabeth.
You Say: Awesome.
You Think: Bernadette! It's so ugly and old-fashioned! How wonderful to see it on a kid! I love it! Elizabeth is fillery again, but it goes really well with Bernadette. Yay!
This is my daughter, Victoria Heidi (I don't get offended very easily).
You Say: Hello, Victoria.
You Think: Victoria is SO nice. I hate Tori and Vicky though, I hope she never gets called that. I hate Heidi, but I'm so glad to see it used I'm going to approve immensely here.
This is my daughter, Natalie Maree.
You Say: Hello Natalie
You Think: Natalie is kind of cool as feminine for Nathan. But boy, is it 80's-tacky. And why is Marie spelled that way?
You Say: Hello.

My mom doesn't like Marie.
It's my sister's name. It's pronounced Like Mary only with a huge e sound at the end.
