Re: You say, you think
in reply to a message by Loz
This is my son - Alexei James
You say - What a great name! Do you have a nickname, Alexei?
You think - I love it! It's gorgeous. If he was mine, I'd call him Sascha.
This is my son - Atreyu David
You say - Cool name--is it after the Neverending Story?
You think - Dear God,
If you love me, this sweet little boy won't have been named for one of the crappiest bands on the planet.
Love,
Amy
This is my son - Ewan Marcus
You say - Nice to meet you, Ewan.
You think - I love Marcus. It's so cute, in that I-just-killed-a-duck! way. Ewan's too closely associated with McGregor, though.
This is my son - Sebastian Edward
You say - How nice! I love Edward.
You think - But Sebastian is horrible! At least he could go by Seb. And at least he's not named Bastian--that's worse yet.
This is my son - Maxwell Joseph (Max)
You say - Nice to meet you, Max.
You think - "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is going to be stuck in my head forever now.
This is my daughter - Seren Alice
You say - Seren's an interesting name. Where is it from?
You think - I love Alice--and I might love Seren, too. Reminds me of my sister's name.
This is my daughter - Megan Lily
You say - Nice to meet you, Megan.
You think - Boooooooooooooooooooooooooring.

Atreyu...(m)
Is a horrible band. Their music would probably pass for hardcore. (This is a pretty good definition of "hardcore" from Urbandictionary.com: "A branch of underground/indie music influenced by faster abrasive punk rock. Originating in the early 80’s as a variant of punk rock, hardcore evolved to a modern sound that can be compared to non commercial metal.") Of course, it's not my favourite genre of music, but they really, really suck. They're insipid, their lead vocals are monstrously bad, and their music is irritating.
And I just generally don't like them.
Here's a praise-riddled biography of them from MTV: http://www.mtv.com/bands/az/atreyu/bio.jhtml
And here's their official website: http://www.atreyurock.com/
On a much happier note, I think Seren is very pretty. :) I also like Steren. Names that mean "star" are cool.
