This is my son Ainslie Blaise
you say: Hi, Ainslie.
you think: Do the parents realize how girly Ainslie sounds? Blaise isn't so bad, but horrible with Ainslie. He needs a strong, masculine name to anchor the combo.
This is my daughter Liesel Marguerite
say: Hi Liesel. That's such a pretty name!
think: Liesel--German, pretty; Marguerite--French, stuffy and fussy. These don't match up.
This is my son Gideon Asho (or Asher)
say: Hi, Gideon.
think: Gideon Bible? Okay, moving on...is Asho a real name? Asher is nice, though, soft but strong and masculine. Too bad they didn't use that as the first name.
This is my daughter Evangeline Órlaith (prn Or-la) nn Eva or Lena
say: Hi, Eva.
think: Eva is pretty (prn "EE-vah", preferably) and Evangeline is nice, but I'm not sure about Órlaith. It looks pretty, but I wouldn't have known how to prounouce it and certainly not how to spell it from its pronounciation.
This is my son Sebastian Alaric nn Bastian
say: Hi, Bastian.
think: Sebastian is a nice, strong name and Bastian is beautiful--makes me think of "bastion," part of a fortress. Alaric is nice, too, at first I thought the combo might be too much, but it's growing on me! Sounds like a strong, serious young man.
