HelpRe: Think/Say
in reply to a message by Kate
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!
Think: Vail Hayden's parents, are you taking notes?
This is my son, Zachariah London.
Say: Neat name! Zachariah is so much nicer than Zachary.
Think: Thank goodness London is just the middle name.
This is my son, Anakin Asa.
Say: Asa is cool.
Think: Insert Star Wars joke here.
Sometimes I just feel like smacking people with the dictionary, just to see if they absorb any intelligence through osmosis.
