Do you believe?

I say: "This is my daughter, Lavinia Eunice."
You say: What a unique name! I like it!
You think: Ditto, but Eunice is a bit odd. Still, I like it!

---

I say: "This is my daughter, Antonia Linnet."
You say: Beautiful combo!
You think: Ditto... But I'd prefer Linnet spelled Lynnette.

---

I say: "This is my daughter, Matilda Alice."
You say: I love that name!
You think: Ditto... great combo

---

I say: "This is my son, James Riley."
You say: Both names are two of my favorites, and it makes a great combo.
You think: Ditto... But I like Riley spelled Reilly.

---

I say: "This is my daughter, Sayuri Lynn."
You say: Gorgeous! The combo is nice and Sayuri is very pretty.
You think: Ditto... But did she get the name from Memoirs of a Geisha?

I say: "This is my daughter, Lavinia Eunice."
You say: Lavinia is a nice name!
You think: Lavinia is ok, Eunice reminds me of a eunuch

---

I say: "This is my daughter, Antonia Linnet."
You say: Hi Antontia
You think: I don't like Antonia, Linnet is ok

I say: "This is my daughter, Sayuri Lynn."
You say: What an unusual name, it's great!

---

I say: "This is my daughter, Lavinia Eunice."
You say: That is such a neat middle name.
You think: Lavinia *shudder* poor child... Eunice is nice but not in a first name sense

---

I say: "This is my daughter, Antonia Linnet."
You say: Do you like the nickname Tonia?
You think: I really like Antonia shortened to Tonia but Linnet doesn't seem very feminine spelt like that, looks like a last name.

---

I say: "This is my daughter, Matilda Alice."
You say: Why, that is such a lovely name, I really love Waltzing Matilda.
You think: I like both names but they seem funny together... hmmm... "We'll come a Waltzing Matilda again"

You say: James... nice...
You think: very blah name isn't it...

---

I say: "This is my daughter, Sayuri Lynn."
You say: One of my best friends had the middle name Lynn...
You think: What is the polite way to ask "how on earth do you say that again" multiple times... With a middle name like Lynn I'd think they were English-speaking not Japanese
