This is my daughter Amy Beatrice.
Think: You don't hear Amy on little girls much anymore.
Say: Because its a bit dated, and completely mismatched with Beatrice, I wonder if they're family names. Nice apart, but a little off together.
This is my son Ciaran Michael.
Think: I like the spelling.
Say: At least you spelled it right, that and Michael (though way over-used), at least make it seem not so trendy.
This is my daughter Julia Mary.
Think: Julia is quite nice.
Say: But a boring combo.
This is my son Aidan Stone.
Think: Aidan is cute.
Say: It is, and very trendy, and why not just cut to the chase and name him rock?
This is my daughter Marjorie Florence "Marjie"
Think: That's a lovely name, very old-fashioned.
Say: I love it, but what is with "Marjie"???
This is my son Simon Douglas.
Think: Douglas has always been a name I liked.
Say: Rather geeky combo.
This is my daughter Lydia Faith.
Think: I like Lydia, esp. with the nn Lydie.
Say: A little popular, and maybe a bit of a stuck-up stygma to it, not bad, until you add the ever tacky Faith, try something more on parr with Lydia.
This is my son Colin Laurence.
Think: Very cute!
Say: It is, a little common sounding, but I love both names, and they go well together.
This is my daughter Beatrice Elena.
Think: I quite like that combo.
Say: But it makes me think Italian Catholic School Girl. I still like it though.
This is my son Matteson Peleg "Matt"
Think: Ahh, Matt is cute...
Say: But not that cute..., Matteson/Madison is not a boys name or a girls name, it's a last name, only. And what is with the mn, are they pirates or something? (pegleg is what I read). Even pronounced correctly, it's not at all appealing.
