This is my son Ludwig.
S: "Nice name."
T: Oh, no.
This is my son, Claud-Carl.
S: "Are you named after anyone?"
T: She could have done better than that.
This is my daughter, Fancy. I see by the look on your face that you are disconcerted; fear not, her actual name is Frances. I wanted to call her Fanny but I think Fancy's a little more workable, don't you?
S: "Oh, yes."
T: Psh, hell no.
This is my son, Franz Felix.
S: "I have to go to the bathroom now..."
T: ... to throw up.
This is my daughter, Delight.
S: "That's nice."
T: That's crazy.
This is my daughter Wilma.
S: "I have an aunt named Wilma."
T: I never liked that aunt...
This is my daughter Nella.
S: "Hi, Nella."
T: Nellie would have been so much better!
These are my sons, Fingal and Finbar.
S: "I have to be going, now..."
T: ... before I say something that will insult them.
These are my children, Phineas and Nigella.
S: "Hi, you two."
T: Bye.
This is my daughter Birdie. Why, yes, since you ask, it's short for Bernadette.
S: "Bernadette is a nice name."
T: "Lord, please don't strike me down for lying."
This is my son Sylvester.
S: "Hi."
T: That's a cat in a carton!!
S: "Nice name."
T: Oh, no.

Wait, you actually think Fancy doesn't work better than Fanny?
I don't like either of them.
Yeah but the question is, would you rather be named Fanny or Fancy? Since Fanny means bottom and all.
I'd rather be Frances, honestly.
Yeah but lol
you are ducking the question here
because if you honestly think it's not any less obscene to be named Fanny than Fancy, that's one vote in Fanny's favor.

Sorry, I was checking another site for a little bit. I didn't see that. Well, I would rather be Fanny probably. Because around here "fancy" is a word we use ALOT, so Fanny isn't too common.
Gotcha. :)
Oh boo you refuse to answer
