I'm dropping the "say" part because it's going to be all the same sort of polite dribble, like "Nice to meet you," or "Oh, what a lovely name."

---

This is my son, Lucas Benjamin. Sometimes we call him Luke.
Think: I'd call him Luke all the time; I like it so much better than Lucas. It's not a bad combo, though.

---

This is my daughter, Mira Alexandra.
Think: Cute, but maybe not the best flow.

---

This is my son, Gabriel Noah.
Think: Boring. I don't like Gabriel anyway.

---

This is my daughter, Raina Lily.
Think: Too wordy. But at least Lily has been bumped to MN for a change.

---

This is my son, William Daniel. Usually we call him Liam.
Think: Nice. Very traditional, maybe even "safe." One of the best William NNs, though.

---

This is my daughter, Zofia Catherine.
Think: Sofia Catherine would have been perfect. Zofia looks like it's trying too hard to be unique since it's paired with something so classic.

---

This is my son, Malachi Nicolas. Sometimes we call him Kai.
Think: Ugh. Unless it's Malakai, there's no reason to NN that. And for the love of goodness, please don't take that as a suggestion! :) Combo is cool, though.

---

This is my daughter, Oceana Willow.
Think: Seems hippy, and definitely prn incorrectly, almost painfully!

---

This is my son, Isaac Henry.
Think: Awesome. Great combo!

---

This is my daughter, Noelle Anastasia.
Think: Doesn't really match.

---

This is my son, Asher Benjamin.
Think: Great!

---

This is my daughter, Eliana Selene (seh-LEEN).
Think: It's um different.
