This is my son, Felix Nathaniel
You say........Hi Felix!
You think.......Really love Nathaniel, Felix not so much, but I went to school with a Felix—the nicest guy

This is my daughter, Willow Elisabeth
You say.......Hi Willow!
You think......I like Willow especially paired with the more traditional Elisabeth

---

This is my daughter, Madeleine Jane "Maddy"
You say......Hi Maddy!
You think.....Another Maddy? I really like Madeleine, but the nickname is so overdone. Jane is fine.

These are my twins Calanthe June and Phineas Oscar "Callie" and "Phin"
You say.....Hi Callie & Phin!
You think.....Callie is nice, but Calanthe is kind of hard to pronounce & the June is a little abrupt. I love Oscar, but Phineas is just so old-man compared to other “Finn-“ choices like Finn Finnian,

This is my daughtet, Alexandra Lily
You say.....Hi Alexandra, you have a lovely name!
You think......All around beautiful name. I love Alexandra because has so many nicknames, she can make it her own as she grows up.

This is my son, Phoenix Caden
You say.....Hi Phoenix.
You think.....Really dislike Caden, Phoenix is okay, but always makes me think of River Phoenix...so sad.

These are my twin sons, Noah Caleb and Jacob Daniel
You say.....Hi Noah & Jacob!
You think.....Four of the better biblical names for boys. I like Jacob Daniel as a combination, but Noah Caleb doesn’t flow quite as nicely.

---

This is my daughter, Calliope Eve
You say.....Hi Calli...do you prefer Calli?
You think.....Hate to say it, but this is one of the worst to saddle a kid with. Ends with “pee” which makes her literally the butt of the joke & can’t avoid the association with carny music.

This is my daughter, Ava Chrysanthe Rose
You say......Hi Ava.
You think.....Ava is classy, Chrysanthe is hard to prounounce, Rose is generic as a middle name.

---

This is my son, Nathan Grant
You say.....Hi Nathan!
You think......Love Nathan, Grant is a very nice uncommon name to pair with it.

---

This is my son, Levi Matthias
You say.....Hi Levi.
You think.....Strauss. It’s a difficult name all around. pronunciation questions, too. Is Levi with a short or long “e”, is the ‘h” in Matthias silent? I like Lev and Matthew much better.
