Re: What you say/What you think ((VERY Long))
in reply to a message by *Brogan*
"This is our daughter, Lindsey."
You say: Something pleasant
You think: Another Lindsey?
"This is our daughter, Aurora. She goes by Rory."
You say: What a beautiful name!
You think: I've always loved Aurora, & Rory as a nn as well. This kid has smart parents, they think like me.
"This is our daughter, Lydia. Sometimes we call her Lyddie. She likes either."
You say: Hello Lydia
You think: Gag, her name is awful, her nn is worse. So I'll insist on using Lydia over Lyddie.
"This is our daughter, Maeve."
You say: Something pleasant
You think: Ick
"This is our daughter, Claira."
You say: That's a very pretty name.
You think: I like Claire better.
"This is our daughter, Margaret. We call her Maisie."
You say: Something nice, without calling the child by her name or nn.
You think: Ew. Maisie? Like Daisy? She sounds like a puppy.
"This is our daughter, Kylie."
You say: Something pleasant.
You think: They've given her a name that has relagated her to mediocrity. Every Kylie I have ever known has been tacky, obnoxious, loud, uncouth, etc. Yuck.
"This is our daughter, Bevin."
You say: Something pleasant
You think: Bevin? Is that a girls name?
"This is our daugter, Courtney."
You say: Something pleasant
You think: I like the name better on a boy. Female Courtney's are b*tchy.
"This is our daugter, Eloise."
You say: Something pleasant
You think: How pretentious.
"This is our daugter, Isabelle."
You say: That's a beautiful name.
You think: It is. Isabella is prettier though.
"This is our daugter, Lucy."
You say: That's a pretty name.
You think: It's more cute than pretty, but most Lucy's have sweet dispositions.
"This is our daugter, Rylie."
You say: Hello Rylie
You think: I hate Rylie on girls.
"This is our daugter, Tatum."
You say: Something pleasant
You think: Of the character Tatum in the movie "Scream" who gets killed in the garage
"This is our daugter, Natalie."
You say: Something pleasant
You think: Natalie is cute. It could be worse.
"This is our daugter, Greer."
You say: Something pleasant
You think: Isn't Greer a boy's name? What's with these parents?
"This is our daugter, Zoey."
You say: Something pleasant
You think: Cheap. Zoey sounds cheap.
"This is our son, Charles. He goes by Charlie."
You say: Something pleasant
You think: Charles is stuffy and outdated. Charlie is horrid. I imagine Charlie's as British...and with bad teeth.
"This is our son, Andrew."
You say: Hello Andrew
You think: Simple, but one of those names you can't go wrong with. And I like saying it, thank the Lord they didn't nn him Andy.
"This is our son, Aidan."
You say: Hello Aidan
You think: Great name, too bad it became so damn popular.
"This is our son, Gregory."
You say: Hello
You think: Can I call him Greg?
"This is our son, Patrick. He goes by Patch."
You say: Something pleasant
You think: What's so wrong with Patrick that you had to give him a horrendus nickname?
"This is our son, Robert. We call him Bobby."
You say: Hi Bobby
You think: Is his middle name Joe?
"This is our son, Mark."
You say: Hello
You think: Mark is too popular considering it's a boring name.
"This is our son, Peter."
You say: Hello
You think: I associate Peter with male genitalia. So why would you give that name to a child? Call him Pete, but not Peter.
"This is our son, Tobias. We call him Toby."
You say: Hello
You think: Ick, on both accounts. Tobias sounds rustic and biblical. Toby sounds like a name I would use for a dog, like Benji.
