This is my son,
Rory Antoine.
You say: Hello Rory...that's a cool name you have.
You think: Except
Antoine... ew.
This is my daughter,
Priscilla Jean.
You say: Hi,
Priscilla.
You think: This is probably the worst name I've ever heard of... both of them, in the combo.
Elvis fan or something?
This is my daughter,
Amynta Regan.
You say:
Amynta, huh?
You think: I kind of like it, unusual, but pretty sounding... if I had seen it spelled I would say
Aminta instead of
Amynta... and
Regan, nuh uh... give this name something more traditional and feminine to fall back on in case your child doesn't like it.
This is my son,
Seth Gray.
You say: Hello,
Seth!
You think: What a cool name.
Seth Gray. I like
Gray as a middle name, but not a first name. Reminds me of a new age
Dorian Gray.
This is my son,
Andrew Bryce.
You say: Hello
Andrew...
You think:
Andrew is a bit bland for me, and
Bryce is a bit trendy, but it does tend ot spice
Andrew up a bit, so it isn't unbearable, just boring.
This is my son,
Uriah Balthazar.
You say: Hi,
Uriah.
You think: Are they highly religious?
Uriah, I like linguistically, especially in the auditory since, but
Balthazar is just all horrible.
This is my daughter,
Ivy Jael.
You say: Awe isn't she cute.
You think: What is she, the future bad girl in a super hero comic?
This is my son,
Caden Reilly.
You say: Hello,
Caden..
You think: Both kind of alright names, but far too trendy and popular for my tastes.
This is my daughter,
Ayn Crystal.
You say:
Ayn, like the novelist?
You think: Seriously, a nod to
Ayn Rand? Kind of a nice name, but I prefer
Aine or
Anne... do not like
Crystal, as I do not like most 'noun' names...
Crystal could be a stripper name.
This is my son,
Saul Patrick.
You say:
Saul Patrick? That's neat.
You think: It really is.
Saul is not a usually used biblical name, and
Patrick is known, but not overly common... I like it.
This is my son,
Shiloh Alexander.
You say: Hello,
Shiloh.
You think: I hope they don't call him Shi. These people are either History buffs that like the Civil War, or huge Brangelina fans. Other than that
Shiloh sounds like something I might name my dog.
This is my son,
Cornelius Tadhg.
You say:
Ah,
CorneliusYou think: Not a bit fan. It's something I would name a fairy in a book or something...
Tadhg (pronounced Tag?) Isn't much better... at all.
This is my son,
Javier Bennett.
You say: Hi,
Javier.
You think: I kind of like the combo, but not crazy about it.
