Think/Say
You may be brutal. Don't hold back on the "think" category.

This is my daughter, Eliana Faith.
Say: Hi, Eliana.
Think: Eliana is a pretty; Faith doesn't quite match in tone.
This is my son, Tristan Micaiah.
Say: Hi, Tristan.
Think: Micaiah? I love Micah, but Micaiah sounds weird to me. Still...it's kind of growing on me...
This is my daughter, Vail Hayden.
Say: Hi, Vail. Is Vail short for something?
Think: There's got to be more to it than that. And Hayden is a boy's name.
These are my twins sons, Britain Ira and Noah Oliver.
Say: Hi, guys.
Think: Britain? Is this a kid or a country? And please, at least give him a strong, pretty normal middle name to fall back on. Noah Oliver is nice, though.
This is my daughter, Emma Tanner.
Say: Hi, Emma.
Think: Emma is pretty ordinary and bland; too bad they didn't give her a strong, interesting middle name to use if she wanted to--Tanner is a surname or a boy's name.
This is my daughter, Charlotte Adelaide.
Say: Hi, Charlotte.
Think: Charlotte is pretty, though rather bland in my opinion. Charlotte Adelaide sounds like an old lady. Adelaide would be pretty with a more interesting and less "old-ladyish" first name. Charley would be a fun nickname, but it sounds silly with Adelaide.

Well, you asked for brutality...
This is my daughter, Eliana Faith.
Say: Eliana. That's a pretty name.
Think: Eliana is pretty, but come on... Faith? Did you think you were naming a child or a Precious Moments figurine?
This in my son, Tristan Micaiah.
Say: That's a cool name.
Think: I might have gone with a more masculine-sounding first or middle name, since both of those are slightly feminine sounding, but at least they're both good names.
This is my daughter, Vail Hayden.
Say: That's a neat name.
Think: So, did you want a boy, or do you just want your daughter to grow up gender confused?
These are my twins sons, Britain Ira and Noah Oliver.
Say: Great names! I love Oliver!
Think: Great names! Except for Britain, which makes me want to bang my head against the wall!
This is my daughter, Emma Tanner.
Say: Lovely. Emma is one of by best friends' names.
Think: Better get used to hearing that, because EVERYONE knows someone named Emma. They're everywhere. Oh, and I don't care if Tanner is a family name; if you're going to give her an ultra-popular first name, she ought to have a good, uncommon middle name to balance it out. (My friend Emily was given her mother's very masculine maiden name as a middle name, and she's annoyed that she got the most popular name in the country AND a boring, completely unusable middle name.)
This is my daughter, Charlotte Adelaide.
Say: How pretty!
This is my daughter, Eliana Faith.

Think: That's such a darling combo I'm only mad I didn't think of it first! :)
This is my daughter, Vail Hayden.
Say: Hello...Vail
Think: What in the world? Vail as in a nn for Valerie and Hayden is so a boy's name! I really hate this combo!
These are my twins sons, Britain Ira and Noah Oliver.
Say: Hello you two!
Think: Noah Oliver is so perfect and cute! Britain is okay but Ira?
This is my daughter, Emma Tanner.
Say: I adore the name Emma!
Think: But not Tanner on a girl, it's strictly a surname or a boy's name!
This is my daughter, Charlotte Adelaide.
Say: What a beautiful name!
Think: It is so pretty, though a bit long.
This is my son, Zachariah London.
Say: What a strong name!
Think: I really like it, though I do think I like London better on a girl but it is better than Landon!
This is my son, Anakin Asa.
Say: That's cute!
Think: And it is cute, though a bit essentric and too many As!

This is my daughter, Eliana Faith.
Say: Eliana; what a pretty sounding name!
Think: It's okay. I have nothing against it, I'm pretty neutral. Faith is alright as well.
This in my son, Tristan Micaiah.
Say: What a strong sounding name!
Think: Well, the only Tristan I know is a girl, so my first thought was of her. However, I like the name much better on a boy.
This is my daughter, Vail Hayden.
Say: Hello, Vail, what a unique name!
Think: I don't really like Vail. Or Hayden.
These are my twins sons, Britain Ira and Noah Oliver.
Say: Hello, boys. Noah Oliver is such a nice name.
Think: Noah oliver is nice. Britain Ira I don't particularly care for.
This is my daughter, Emma Tanner.
Say: Emma is such a pretty name!
Think: Emma is lovely, though very popular. I don't really like Tanner.

Say: That's a gorgeous name, Charlotte.
Think: It is a gorgeous name. Both are in my top 5.
This is my son, Zachariah London.
Say: Helli, Zachariah, that's a nice name.
Think: Zachariah is quite nice. London is nice if you have some sort of connection to the city, or if it used to be a surname in the family, otherwise I don't particularly care for it.
This is my son, Anakin Asa.
Say: Hello, Anakin, your parents must like Star Wars?
Think: Of Star Wars. And I've only even seen one of the movies.
