Re: Stealing Caroline's idea... You say / you think with my fave names
in reply to a message by Laura
This is my son Dylan:
You say: Nice.
You think: It's like a new classic.
This is my daughter Maisie:
You say: How sweet.
You think: Kinda hokey isn't it? She'll end up May.
This is my son Jack:
You say: Jack, great.
You think: Another generic Jack. It's alright though.
This is my daugher Elanor (nn Ellie):
You say: That's nice.
You think: How thirties. Ellie, blah.
This is my son Thomas (nn Tom):
you say: Great.
You think: Tom, underrated. Nice.
This is my daughter Emily (nn Millie):
You say: Nice, I love Millie.
You think: But why not Mildred? So much less common.
This is my son Oliver:
You say: Cool.
You think: Hip name. Bet he'll be a nerd.
This is my daughter Alice:
You say: Aw, Alice, that's sweet.
You think: Boring, but sweet.
This is my son Alex (first name Alexander):
You say: A nice strong name.
You think: Gosh I hear that name a lot.
This is my daughter Ayla:
You say: That's pretty.
You think: Too bad it's from that godawful Clan of the Cave Bear. I'll try to forget that since it sounds pretty.
