This is my daughter, Lavender Amelie.
You say: Oh, how nice!
You think: Yes, very nice. Lavender is good to see. Hm. I like Lavender a lot. Amelie is a bit precious, but it's still very good.
This is my daughter Kreszentia Jane.
You say: !!!!!!!
You think: !!!!!!!!! She's going to have a hell of a time telling people what her name is though. But that's really cool anyway.
This is my son, Luka Desmond.
You say: How handsome.
You think: How btn trendy. But it's fine, I guess. Desmond IS handsome. Luka and Luca are very overrated.
This is my son, Frederick Ryder.
You say: How handsome!
You think: Frederick is definitely one of the handsomest things ever. It can even make up for that atrocious middle name, which better be a family name or Ima toss some punches.
This is my son, Riordan Blaise.
You say: O.
You think: [I have this inexplicable hatred of Irish names.] Riordan is NOT COOL. WHY WOULD ANYONE THINK IT IS COOL. Blaise is awesome, but not enough to override Riordan.
This is my daughter, Vivien Madeline.
You say: Oh awesome!
You think: It is, I like it a lot. Madeline is growing on me, but at least it's a middle name. It's a very rhymey combo though.
This is my son, Dimitri Aleksei.
You say: OMG BROTHERS KARAMAZOV.
You think: LOVE! I would have picked Ivan over Dimitri, myself, but Ivan and Dmitry are the best-named of the brothers, and Alexei is definitely the coolest of them.
...
I really hope this is a reference to The Brothers Karamazof.
This is my daughter, Lisbet Persephone.
You say: Oh how awesome.
You think: It is nice. I like Lisbet better as a nickname, and Persephone is pretty btn trendy but it's growing on me a lot, especially as a middle name. But yeah. Very good.
