"This is my son, Alister; we call him Alis." [pronounced like "Alice"]
You say: Hey Alis
You think: Alister is not bad. Hope he spells it Alistair. Why does he let himself be called Alis (Alice) though?
(ALSO, what other full name would you suggest for the NN Alis/Alice/other spelling?)
"This is my son, Auberon."
You say: Hi Auberon
You think: of a chubby Barron, or bacon for some reason.
"This is my son, Rose."
You say: Um, hi... Rose
You think: Your son? Poor kid! Must get teased... a lot.
"This is my daughter, Kestrel."
You say: hello Kestrel
You think: hmmm, I like the sound of it. Reminds me of some bird... Hey, it is a bird!
"This is my son, Patrick; we call him Pax."
You say: Hi Pax
You think: Even though Pax is feminine, I like it on a boy, sounds like Max... prefer it to Patrick.
"This is my son, Augustin." [pronounced o-goos-TEN]
You say: Hello
You think: Roman Empire... Ta-daa... Very grandd
"This is my son, Rémy." [pronounced ray-MEE]
You say: hey Remy
You think: Ratatouille! and then: diso-bay-me! or... lay-me. Yikes! Poor kid.
"This is my daughter, Isobel; we call her Iso." [pronounced IZ-oh]
You say: hey
You think: iso, iso, iso, iso... nah. Sounds like sombd was in the middle of a sentence saying "is -" and then gets shocked and goes Oh!
"This is my son, Garnet."
You say: Hi
You think: not on a boy. Can't imagine my boss in the future being a Garnet! Or a taxi driver. Or a boxer. Or an anything for that matter.
"This is my son, Clare."
You say: Hi.. Clare
You think: It looks like a boy, and they introduced him as a son... Am I going blind and deaf? Clare - a boy? Well, guess its not so out there. I mean, ppl use Blair on boys too... Clare-Blair... What the heck right?
"This is my daughter, Agathe." [pronounced ah-GAH-teh]
You say: hello ah-GAH-teh
You think: of a thorn. In Greek aGAthee means thorn. Not too fond of the name and Don't like the pronunciation. I'd rather go with ah-gah-THEE (TH as in THink) and (G the way its pronunced in Greek)... in other words no-no
