This is my daughter Mirabelle:
You Say: Hello, Mirabelle! Do you go by your full name?
You think: It's nice, but a bit too froofy for me. I hope I can call her Mira or Mirrie without getting the hairy eyeball.

You Say: Dominic's a sweet name.
You Think: A bit too common for me, but nice.

This is my son Vincent:
You Say: What a handsome name. Did you pick it for the artist?
You think: I like it--if I get to know this Vincent, he'll be hearing quite a bit of Don McLean's song.

This is my daughter Willow:
You Say: What a beautiful name!
You Think: I love how the word Willow sounds, especially when Desdemona sings her little willow song in the Larry Fishburne version of Othello.

This is my son Desmond:
You say: Heya, Desmond. Do you go by your full name or Des?
You think: Love, love, love pouring out for this woman. :) If I get to know this kid, he'll hear a lot of "Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da."

This is my daughter River:
You say: Hi, River! What a pretty name.
