This is my daughter, Cleopatra Sophannagh. We call her Patra.
You say: Hi Patra.
You think: A lot to live up to, but a nice name
This is my daughter, Annabelle.
You say: Hi Annabelle
You think: A bit frilly for my taste
This is my son, Bruno.
You say: Hi Bruno
You think: Hmmm Bruno? I’d never consider it.
This is my son, Kenneth.
You say: Hi Ken.
You think: Kenneth strikes me as the ultimate geek name.
This is my daughter, Gemma Juliette.
You say: Hi Gemma
You think: Nice, though I prefer it spelled Juliet. Jemma Juliet would be nice too, giving her the JJ nickname option.
This is my son, Rameses. We call him Ram.
You say: Hi Ram
You think: Bam Thank you maam. Ouch. This is way too suggestive for anyone but an adult movie star. Isn’t Ramses a brand of birth control, too?
This is my son, Fiyero.
You say: Hi Fi.
You think: Mis-spelled car name (Pontiac Fiero)
This is my daughter, Cassiopeia. We call her Cassy.
You say: Hi Cassy.
You think: Cassy is classy, Cassiopeia, not so much.
This is my daughter, Tobey.
You say: Hi Tobey.
You think: Okay, but keep in mind it’s used for boys too.
This is my son, Shiloh.
You say: Hi Shiloh.
You think: Last Shiloh I heard of was a girl (jolie-pitt) and I don’t care for it for either sex, honestly. It falls into the pet name category for me.
This is my daughter, Patience.
You say: Hi Patience.
You think: I hope she doesn’t go by Patty. Also, as virtue names go, impossible for a kid to live up to.
This is my son, Kai.
You say: Hi Kai!
You think: Love this one!
These are my twin girls, Hermione and Helena. We call Hermione Hermia.
You say: Hi Helena & Hermia.
You think: Someone lovees Shakespeare. :) I don’t care for twins names starting with the same letter—too cutesy. Hermia is not an attractive name, and using Hermione instead will get Harry Potter jokes forever. Helena is classic & rolls off the tongue.
These are my twin boys, Terrian and Luke.
You say: Hi Luke & Terrian...?
You think: I really like Luke, but Terrian is very unusual. I don’t dislike it. I don’t like the two together though. Unlike Hel & Her which were too similar, these names are too different. The names have very different personalities.
These are my mixed twins, Minerva and Tom.
You say: Hi Minerva & Tom.
You think: Same problem as Terrian and Luke. Minerva is very unusual, Tom is ultra-traditional. Minerva is a tough name, I’d consider it maybe for a middle name, but not a first name. Tom is just too plain, it looks lonesome by itself. Maybe just swap Tom and Terrian in these last two sets to solve the problem? Luke & Tom Terrian & Minerva
