HelpRe: You Say, You Think ...
in reply to a message by Ciarda
You Say, You Think:
This is my daughter Ayla (AY-la)
You Say: Oh, that's nice.
You Think: Yawn. Yawn yawn yawn. Yeah, it's nice, I guess. But so boring. Oh well, it could be way worse.
This is my daughter Lily
You Say: Oh, pretty.
You Think: I love Lily. I may get sick of it in a few years but right now every time I see one it is nice!
This is my daughter Mira (MEER-ah)
You Say: Cute.
You Think: Bleah. I hate Mira. I wonder if this mom is one of those BtN nerds, Mira seems to be a BtN trend.
This is my daughter Mirabelle
You Say: Cute.
You Think: Well, yeah, it's cute. And it's a little more substantial than Mira. But come on, it's SO cute and SO flowery. Vomit.
This is my daughter Vivienne
You Say: Oh, that's one of my favorite names.
You Think: It is. Spelling confusion, but it's very nice. It's not one of my FAVORITE favorites, but it's definitely a good one.
This is my daughter Willow
You Say: Oh, that's pretty.
You Think: Yeah, Willow's pretty, I love the long O. It's a little silly though, I wouldn't use it.
This is my son Desmond
You Say: Oh, how handsome.
You Think: It's very handsome.
This is my son Dominic
You Say: What a nice name.
You Think: Bleah. I am over this name. I know I ought to like it but I don't.
This is my son Hugh
You Say: Oh, good!
You Think: I've never liked Hugh that much actually, but I love it on other people, and it's a huge family name for me anyway. I prefer Hugo, but Hugh is very handsome and southern.
This is my son Percival
You Say: Oh, how wonderful and delightful!
You Think: Pehhhh-sival! I am so happy you exist, ickle Percival.
This is my son Asher
You Say: Oh, that's handsome.
You Think: Handsome and way trendy and girly. Asher and Ashton and such are major GP's for me.
This is my son River
You Say: Oh, that's nice.
You Think: It's nice enough. I've never been into River, but I feel like I should be.
This is my son Rory
You Say: Reetings, Rory.
You Think: Roraororoaororor. Rooaaar I'm a lion. Roroaroror. This is a ridiculous name, I am going to call him Lion as I can't say Rory.
This is my son Roux (ROO)
You Say: What? "Roo." What?" "Roo. R o u x." "Oh, that's cool."
You Think: It is cool, I like it a lot. But that kid's going to run into a lot of trouble.
This is my son Rune (ROON)
You Say: What? "Rune." Oh, neat.
You Think: It is cool. It's not very name-y though, so again about the trouble.
This is my son Rupert
You Say: Oh, a Rupert!
You Think: I can't decide whether this is delightfully nerdy like Percival or really snotty-rich-gross-awful like Reuben. I'm inclined to give the benefit of the doubt, though, just because I don't know any Ruperts and I really like R's and long u's.
