I really don't mean to offend you!!
Parent 1: Hi, this is my son, Hudson
You say: Great name!
You think: Nice. He's going to be popular: the Hudson Hornet. Very cool.
Parent 2: Hello. This is my daughter, Tegan
You say: What a lovely name.
You think: What does everyone have against this name? It's so sweet.
Parent 3: Hey. I'd like you to meet my son, Dante
You say: Cool name.
You think: Dante was a character in a book I read, it's not to bad but not my style.
Parent 4: Hi. I'd like to indtroduce my daughters, Imogen and Emilie
You say: What lovely girls.
You think: Ugh- Emilie. Imogen gets my vote.
Parent 5: Hey. This is my son Charles - we call him Charlie. And my daughter Evangeline - everyone calls her Evan
You say: How wonderful.
You think: Oh why did you keep talking after "Charlie" I might still have respect for you if you did. I can bearly think of a name worse than Evangeline "Evan". *dry heaves*
Parent 6: Hello, I'd like you to meet my son Emlyn
You say: Wow, interesting name.
You think: Could you not wait to use it until you had a girl? I hope his middle name isn't Anne or something.
