You Say: Evie! That's lovely! [nothing about Evelyn]
You Think: of Evelyn Waugh, the male author. I do like Evie tons though!

This is my son Desmond
You Say: Cool.
You Think: Well, it's a bit geeky but I guess they'll call him Des; that's neat. At least it's interesting and not very common.

This is my son Niall
You Say: Great name.
You Think: Glad to see that one used, I like it.

Thsi is my daughter Liviana
You Say: Pretty.
You Think: It reminds me a bit of too-popular Olivia, but not bad. I hope they don't call her Liv or Livvy.

This are my sons Raphael and Gabriel (nn Rafe and Gabe)
You Say: Nice names.
You Think: Rafe is cool. Such butch sounding nicknames, interesting; I kind of like it but I'm tired of Gabriel. And: she must be quite religious.

This is my son Walter:
You Say: That's a fine name.
You Think: Nerdy & dated. Rough till he's about thirty. Wally is great though! ..Walter must be a family name.

This is my son Jedidiah (nn Jed)
You Say: Jed, nice.
You Think: Whoa, hard core antiquated bible name, verging on archaic sounding. You must be religious. Jed is pretty dashing, though, and updates the name very well.
