"This is my daughter, Amelia. We call her Amy."
You say: How sweet.
You think: Why waste a lovely name like Amelia by calling her Amy?
"This is my son, Seamus. We call him Shay."
You say: That's a nice name.
You think: Not really crazy about either, but whatever.
"This is my daughter, Cait." (Cait is pronounced like Kate)
You say: Kate is one of my favourite names!
You think: Kate is one of my favori... wha? It's Cait? Poor kid will be spelling her name out for the rest of her life.
"This is my son, Philip. He goes by Phil."
You say: It's a good, strong name.
You think: Meh.
"This is my daughter, Lydia. Everyone calls her Lyddie."
You say: What a lovely name.
You think: I wonder if I can bypass Lyddie and call her Lydia.
"This is my son, Christopher."
You say: What a nice name.
You think: ... too bad it reminds me of my whinny, bratty cousin.
You say: How sweet.
