This is my son Seth Michael
You say: Handsome name.
You think: Glad Michael's in the middle and not the fn. I really like Seth.
This is my daughter Adelina Marie "Addie"
You say: Pretty name.
You think: same
This is my son Isaac Theodore
You say: Awesome name.
You think: Same.
This is my daughter Gwenyth Louisa "Gwen"
You say: How nice.
You think: Gwendolyn Louisa or Louisa Gwendolyn/Gwyneth would've been better imo. Gwenyth looks horribly misspelled, and either way reminds me too much of Ms. Paltrow.
This is my son Rowan Oliver
You say: Great name.
You think: same
This is my daughter Estella Juliet "Stella"
You say: Gorgeous name.
You think: It is. But why call her Stella? Estella is prettier, imo.

This is my son Seth Michael
You say: I love the name Seth.
You think: I wish the mn was better.
This is my daughter Adelina Marie "Addie"
You say: Adelina is beautiful.
You think: I hope Marie has some meaningful connection, otherwise it's just a blah filler name.
This is my son Isaac Theodore
You say: Oh! How nice.
You think: ditto
This is my daughter Gwenyth Louisa "Gwen"
You say: What a pretty name.
You think: Not my style but pretty enough.
This is my son Rowan Oliver
You say: What a nice name.
You think: eh.
This is my daughter Estella Juliet "Stella"
You say: What a pretty combination.
You think: I hope this Stella turns out better than the fat, lazy Stella I know.
You say: I love the name Seth.

This is my son Seth Michael
You say: Oh, isn't he adorable!
You think: Too bad about the name, though. Seth sounds lispy to me, and Michael is very generic.
This is my daughter Adelina Marie "Addie"
You say: Adelina's a beautiful name.
You think: It is. Refreshing, too, as I've actually never met one. Marie's a bit of a filler, but I can live with it.
This is my son Isaac Theodore
You say: Theodore's one of my very favourite names.
You think: Which is why I would've prefered Theodore Isaac. Still nice, though.
This is my daughter Gwenyth Louisa "Gwen"
You say: She has a very pretty name.
You think: Just what I said.
This is my son Rowan Oliver
You say: That's adorable!
You think: It really is. I love this name, and it's perfect for a little boy, or a grown man.
This is my daughter Estella Juliet "Stella"
You say: What a beautiful name!
You think: And very literary, too. A little frilly, but in a good way. I wish she went by Estella, though. Or maybe Essie.
