This is my son, Lysander.
You say: Oh, that's an interesting name.
You think: Hm...wonder where they got that. Shakespeare or Harry Potter...
This is my son, Sargon.
You say: Very unique.
You think: Sargon sounds too much like Sauron for me. Oh God, Lord of the Rings jokes!
This is my son, Alvar.
You say: Do you call him Alvie or Alvar?
You think: Wow...that's just bad.
This is my son, Lorenzo.
You say: Do you call him Enzo for short?
You think: Dunno, not horrible but definitely not appealing to me.
This is my son, Laszlo
You say: Interesting. Where'd you get the idea for that name?
You think: Reminds me of this idiotic show my brother and sister watch.
This is my daughter, Cecilia.
You say: Oh cool.
You think: I actually really like this name, not the meaning, but the name itself is pretty.
This is my daughter, Virva.
You say: Virva?
You think: Uhm...no.
This is my daughter, Selana.
You say: Pretty. Unique.
You think: I actually don't mind this, wouldn't use it but it isn't THAT bad.
This is my daughter, Tondra.
You say: That's interesting.
You think: Sounds too much like Tundra or tonsils.
This is my daughter, Aysel.
You say: Ohhh, that's pretty.
You think: I don't like it.
This is my daughter, Aludra.
You say: That's pretty unique.
You think: Are they /alluding/ to something? *snickers* Bad joke, I apologize.
