This is my daughter, Athena Scarlett.
You say: What a nice combo!
You think: Anything but Scarlett! Athena is fineThis is my son, Loki Blade.
You say: How unusual!
You think: Loki? LOKI?? And I'm not saying anything about Blade!This is my daughter, Claudia Rindolen.
You say: That's unusual - where does Rindolen come from?
You think: I can guess - you like Tolkien and you made it up after reading elf names all day. At least it's a middle name. Claudia is ok.This is my son, Lucius Holden.
You say: That's a nice combo!
You think: . . . for a car! Oh, Lucius is fine, it's just that with Holden I think "the new Holden Lucius, only 29,990 with free air conditioning!" I'll never "get" car names.This is my daughter, Orchid.
You say: How sweet! They're such beautiful flowers.
You think: That's so sweet it's sticky. And she'll be nicknamed Orky, bet on it. Ugh.These are my twin girls, Fiffi and Tiffi.
You say: Ah, right
You think: Oops, I should have said something polite! But really - how HORRIBLE!This is my son, Herman.
You say: That's a nice name . . .
You think: . . . a nice name for a 40-year-old Mexicano, anyway.This is my daughter, Yolanda.
You say: Lovely! And so underused, too.
