This is my son
Blake.
You say: Hello.
You think: Not very pretty... but it could've been worse.
This is my daughter
Willow, it's short for
Willoughby.
You say:
Willow is very nice.
You think:
Willoughby? Seriously? That is crap, masculine and pretentious. I'm glad she's called
Willow.
This is my son
Shannon.
You say: I've never heard of a male
Shannon before.
You think: Interesting. I hope he doesn't get picked on at school.
These are my twin sons,
Raymond and
Murray.
You say: Oh, hi.
You think: I don't like
Raymond, but I guess it's ok. I don't understand
Murray. It's hideous.
This is my daughter
Anastasia, we call her Stasi.
You say: That's very nice!
You think: I really like
Anastasia nn
Stacy.

These are my daughters
Aurora and
Summer, and this is my son
August, they're triplets.
You say: Cute!
You think: Very machty... especially
Summer and
August. But I love
August and
Aurora, and
Summer is ok. So this sibset gets thumbs up from me, despite it's matchiness (is that a word?).
This is my daughter Jensen.
You say: Whoa.. ok..
You think: Absolutely hideous. 1) Jensen is a Danish/Norwegian surname meaning "
son of
Jens". 2) Surnames are not even used as first names in Norway/Denmark. Name fail.
This is my daughter
MorganaYou say: Very cool!
You think: I prefer this over
Morgan for a girl.
