This is my daughter, Hera Raziela.
You say: Nice to meet you.
You think: Hera? Awful! Raziela... eh... so-so.
I'd like you to meet my son, Roth Albus.
You say: May I call you Ro?
You think: Can you say "awful"?
This is my little boy, Lorcan Orion.
You say: Do you have Celtic in you?
You think: Never--I repeat, NEVER--end your child's first and middle names with the same sound. *Shudders inwardly*
These are my little girls, Estrella Xena and Arista Eris. They're twins.
You say: Nice to meet you. May I call you Ella and Ari?
You think: Yuck! Estrella? Just stick with Estella. Get rid of the "R" please. And Xena? No way! Arista? Eh... sorta pretty. Not my style, though. And Eris? Puh-lease!
My son here is named Sirius Astrophel. We call him Astro.
You say: Nice to meet you. You have a very astronomical name.
You think: Ew. Ew. And double ew. Sorry, but I'd NEVER--repeat, NEVER--name my kid after a star. Even if that name were "hip."
This is my baby daughter, Ione Azula.
You say: What a pretty name!
You think: Ione is gorgeous, but Azula? Please, if you're going to be around me, find a different name.
I'd like to introduce you to my sons, Severus Azar and Sorin Harris.
You say: Nice to meet you, Severus, Sorin. Do you go by anything?
You think: Severus? Azar? Sorin? Harris? Ever heard of disgusting?
