This is my daughter
Echo Anthea.
You say: Hi
Echo!
You think:
Echo is lovely for a cat or something, but terrible for a real person.
Anthea is really pretty--the more I think about it, the more I like it.
This is my son
Raphael Harpo, we call him Harpo.
You say: Hi Harpo!
You think: I love
Raphael! Harpo is truly hideous. Ew.
This is my son
Alison Bartholomew.
You say: Nice to meet you,
Alison!
You think: It's a truly hideous and cruel thing to name your son
Alison. It's a form of
Alice! Why would anyone name their son a form of
Alice (even though the site says it's unisex)?
Bartholomew is ugly.
This is my daughter
Leah Adelaide:
You say: Nice to meet you,
Leah!
You think: Not the best flow but both names are gorgeous.
This is my son
Karl Cináed.
You say: Hi
Karl!
You think:
Karl looks tryndeigh and I hate
Carl and all variants.
Cinaed is just weird.
This is my daughter
Ingrid Brunhild.
You say: Hi
Ingrid!
You think: I love
Ingrid!
Brunhild is laughably bad.
This is my son
Lyle Delmar.
You say: Hi
Lyle!
You think:
Lyle is ugly--slippery and slimy sounding.
Delmar has a nasty sound but a nice meaning.
This is my daughter
Thea Camille.
You say: Hi
Thea!
You think: I
LOVE Camille! I really dislike
Thea and wish it were a nickname.
This is my daughter
Sarah Elaine:
You say: Hi
Sarah!
You think: Gorgeous name, though I'd prefer
Sarah Elena.
This is my son
Rafael Cesaire.
You say: Hi
Rafael!
You think: Yes!
Rafael as a first name--I love it!
Cesaire is bad.
This is my daughter
Lucy Hermione.
You say: Hi
Lucy!
You think:
Lucy is adorable, but so cutesy for a full name.
Hermione is awful; it was ugly before
Harry Potter and is now waaaay too tied to such. The double -ee endings sound bad.
This is my son
Rylan Patrokles.
You say: Hi
Rylan!
You think: Gag me with a spoon.
Rylan is a surname and what the hell is a Patrokles?
This is my son
Leonidas Beowulf, we call him
Leon.
You say: Hi
Leon!
You think: Ewwwwww.
Leonidas is just too much (though I
LOVE Leo) and I hate
Leon.
Beowulf has got to be a joke.
