This is my daughter Bjork (byerk).
You Say: Cool! How did you end up choosing that name? It's really unusual.
You Think: I've been pronouncing Bjork slightly wrong for about four years...wonder if the kid's named after the singer.
This is my daughter Hudson.
You Say: Oh, how nice, is it honouring?
You Think: Wait, your daughter?
This is my daughter Blake.
You Say: Interesting name! Was she named for the poet, or a family member perhaps?
You Think: Yuck. Another surname/boy's name.
This is my daughter Hero.
You Say: Oh my goodness! That's awesome! What's her middle name?
You Think: Eek so awesome!
This is my son Atlas.
You Say: Whoa. Nice name!
You Think: Bold. Teasing aside, it is a nice name. Atlas and Hero as brother and sister is a little much, though.
This is my son Mackenzie.
You Say: I'm glad to see Mackenzie on a boy.
You Think: Not as glad as I would be to not see it at all...
This is my son Bristol.
You Say: Oh, that's interesting, how'd you come to choose it?
You Think: ...really now? Bristol? Seriously, Bristol?
