This is my son, Leslie - he goes by Les
You say: Hi, Les.
You think: Sounds dated on a girl, but kind of refreshing on a boy.This is my daughter, Wilma Ginevra - she goes by Billie Jean
You say: Hello, Billie Jean.
You think: Wilma Ginevra is lovely. Billie would be a nicer nickname than Billie Jean, if you ask me.This is my son, Harlequin - he goes by Quin
You say: That's an interesting name!
You think: It is. Quin is nice, and Harlequin could definitely grow on me.This is my daughter, Antonietta - she goes by Nedda
You say: Hello Nedda, nice to meet you.
You think: Antoinette is beautiful, but Antoinetta is a little bit too elaborate for me. Nedda isn't bad, but sounds a little old for a girl. Netta or Nettie would be my preference.This is my son, Pierre - he goes by Pierrot
You say: Hi there, Pierrot.
You think: Don't particularly like it....This is my daughter, Charlotte - she goes by Lotte
You say: Nice to meet you, Lotte.
You think: How lovely!This is my son, Hercule
You say: Hello, Hercule.
You think: Interesting, and probably easier to wear than Hercules.This is my daughter, Amore
You say: Hello, Amore. You have a lovely name.
You think: Very lovely. Although I do admit it makes me think 'armoire' when written out.This is my son, Walter - he goes by Walt
You say: Nice to meet you, Walt.
You think: Disney? :DThis is my daughter, Psyche
You say: Hi, Psyche. What an interesting name!
You think: of Psyche in a Dress by Francesca Lia Block :)

This is my son, Leslie - he goes by Les
You say: Hi, Les!
You think: Not my style at all, but nothing wrong with it.This is my daughter, Wilma Ginevra - she goes by Billie Jean
You say: Hello, Billie Jean. That's such a cute nn!
You think: I wouldn't like it as a full name, but Wilma Ginevra is really stretching. If there was a less awkward full name this could be brilliant.This is my son, Harlequin - he goes by Quin
You say: Hi, Quin!
You think: Quin's nice; the more I hear it, the more I like it. Harlequin is all bad associations.This is my daughter, Antonietta - she goes by Nedda
You say: Hi, Nedda!
You think: Both gorgeous, though Nedda isn't my favorite nn for this.This is my son, Pierre - he goes by Pierrot
You say: Hi, Pierrot!
You think: I didn't realize that was a diminuitive of Pierre. But I do like it, even though all I can think of is the band.This is my daughter, Charlotte - she goes by Lotte
You say: Hello, Lotte!
You think: I love it.This is my son, Hercule
You say: Hi, Hercule!
You think: Not something I'd use, as much as I like Agatha Christie.This is my daughter, Amore
You say: Hello, Amore! What a lovely name.
You think: It's so sweet. I could never use it but I do like it!This is my son, Walter - he goes by Walt
You say: Hi, Walt.
You think: Whether Walt or Walter, I still pity the kid.This is my daughter, Psyche
You say: Hi, Psyche.
You think: It's a great myth and a really interesting name but she'll certainly get teased.

This is my son, Leslie - he goes by Les
You say: Hey Les!
You think: They should have another son called Morgan, who goes by Mor :DThis is my daughter, Wilma Ginevra - she goes by Billie Jean
You say: Like the song?
You think: Why didn't you just name her Billie Jean then?!This is my son, Harlequin - he goes by Quin
You say: Quin is a nice name
You think: Yeah, QUin is nice, but Harlequin isn't (disease & clown)This is my daughter, Antonietta - she goes by Nedda
You say: Cute nickname!
You think: Not a fan of the full name, but Nedda is cute.This is my son, Pierre - he goes by Pierrot
You say: Hi Pierrot
You think: I like the sound of Pierrot, but I prefer it for a pet.This is my daughter, Charlotte - she goes by Lotte
You say: Hi Lotte
You think: Lotte is okay, I can't stand CharlotteThis is my son, Hercule
You say: Hi Hercule
You think: Hercule is awkward, all I can think of is Molecule and ridicule. Hercules would have been a lot better. And preferably as a MN.This is my daughter, Amore
You say: Hi Amore!
You think: GAG!This is my son, Walter - he goes by Walt
You say: Hi Walt
You think: I can only picture this name on a chubby annoying boy...This is my daughter, Psyche

A clown, although the association has since faded...I doubt that, clown was the first thing that popped in my head, I'm pretty sure a lot of people still connect Pierrot to the sad clown.

Oh, truly?I thought the asssociation had faded along with the usage of the name. If not, very well.
