Hello, these are our daughters
Julia and
Helena.
You say: Nice to meet you.
You think: I like
Helena better, but
Julia is okay, too.
Meet our son,
Milo.
You say: Hi,
Milo!
You think:
Milo is an average-sounding name.
These are our kids
Charlotte,
Benjamin and
Cecilia. They go by
Lottie,
Ben and Cee.
You say: What great names!
You think: I don't like
Benjamin that much (it's very popular), and Cee as a nickname sounds like a last resort.
These are our kids
Stuart and
Margaret.
You say: How are you guys?
You think:
Love Margaret, hate
Stuart.
These are my twin daughters
Daphne and
Alexandria.
Alexandria goes by
Alexa.
You say: I love your names!
You think: I love
Alexandria, and
Daphne and
Alexa are okay.
These are our sons
Henry and
Christopher.
You say: Pleased to meet you.
You think: Perfect, normal combo.
This is our son
Achille.
You say: That's a very brave-sounding name.
You think: That's a very brave sounding name. Maybe a French variant of
Achilles.....?
