I came up with the stuff the kid says, but you can use it, it's not patented. :)

This is my son, Christopher Mark. We call him "Topher" because thats how he used to say his name when he was starting to talk
Christopher says: And now I'm stuck with it for life. I wish people would call me by my proper name.
You say: Don't worry, Christopher, I'll call you by your real name. I feel your pain I was stuck with "Kina" until I was like 11 or something!
You think: I like his name! That's awesome.
This is my son Ashley Dean
Ashley says: There's a lot of girls with the same name as me. I hate girls.
You say: Hehe, you remind me of when I was a kid - escept I hated boys because I actually am a girl. By the way, I love your name for a boy, don't let some girls bring you down, buddy.
You think: I really like his name too!
This is my daughter, Crystal Jade.
Crystal says: I like my first name, but I wish it had a more interesting spelling. I might change it when I'm older, any ideas?
You say: You have a great name! You could go for K-R-Y-S-T-A-L or K-R-I-S-T-A-L or C-R-I-S-T-A-L or something like that... there's tons of them!
This is my daughter, Elizabeth Grace. She's a tomboy
Elizabeth says: I hate my name, it's too girly. Can you give me an idea for a nickname?
You say: I've always loved Elsie and Elise, are those too girly for you too? My tomboy friend goes by Izzy, another is Liz and another is Lizzy, and of course there's Beth. There are tons!
You think: Yeah, I like Elizabeth but there are so many great nicknames I'd probably go for one too. Especially to lower the prissy-feminine level.
