You say: I've never met someone named Maisie!
You think: That name is awesome.
This is my son Jack:
You say: That name works for everyone.
You think: Everyone is naming their sons Jack!
This is my daugher Elanor (nn Ellie):
You say: What great taste in names.
You think: I prefer it spelled Eleanor.
This is my son Thomas (nn Tom):
you say: No one uses good simple names anymore, do they?
You think: Ugh, another Thomas.

You think: I've never heard someone use Millie as a nickname for Emily. That's cool.
