Meet my daughter, Delta Pansy.
You say: What an interesting name.
You think: But I much prefer one word name per combo. And pansy doesn't work well as a name for me; the majority of the time I hear the word used, it's an insult.
Meet my daughter, Poet Blue "Poe".
You say: Hello, Poe.
You think: Poet is lovely, why ruin it with the nickname? The combo, however, is a bit too short for me.
Meet my daughter, Zealand Clover "Zea".
You say: Nice to meet you, Zea.
You think: Well. I can picture the name working on a rabbit, at least.
Meet my daughter, Gage Papillon.
You say: Hi, Gage.
You think: Papillion?! Are you serious? It doesn't even sound pretty!
Meet my daughter, Nehemiah Sabella.
You say: Uh, hello!
You think: What a mouthful. Sabella is interesting, though.
Meet my daughter, Oliver Haven "Olive".
You say: Nice to meet you, Olive.
You think: Haven is lovely, but Oliver on a girl is horrible to me. Why not just name her Olive?
Meet my daughter, Viper Posey.
You say: Hello, Viper.
You think: ...Poor child.
Meet my daughter, Jagger Tulip "Jag".
You say: Hi, Jagger.
You think: I could live with Jagger, but Jag is waaaay too masculine sounding, imo.
Meet my daughter, Barn Opal.
You say: Did you say Barn?
You think: I hope not I hope not I hope not I hope not.
Meet my daughter, Mannequin Reed "Quinn".
You say: Hello, Quinn.
You think: *seething* Mannequin? How can that possibly be a nice thing to be named? The poor girl is going to go through life feeling LIKE a mannequin!
Meet my daughter, Bengal Victoria "Benji".
You say: Hi, Benji.
You think: Odd sort of charm... I like it. If Bengal and Benji are too unprofessional sounding (which they are, imo) for her, she can always go by Victoria.
Meet my daughter, Yosemite Harriet.
You say: Hello, Yosemite.
You think: I dislike it. I definitely dislike it.
Meet my daughter, Zaire Dorothea.
You say: Nice to meet you, Zaire.

You say: Hello, Pilot.
You think: Sounds like a title. Dislike it.
Meet my daughter, Seven Leilani.
You say: Hi, Seven!
You think: I like it!
Meet my daughter, Seal Willow "Sea".
You say: Nice to meet you, Sea.
You think: Seal? :( They're adorable, but I sure wouldn't want to be named after them.
Meet my daughter, Rosemary Wyoming "Rose".
You say: Hello, Rose.
You think: Cute.
Meet my daughter, Ryder Orchidea.
You say: What was her middle name again?
You think: Or-KID-ah... Or-KID-ee-ah... Or-KID-ee?
Meet my daughter, Reef Sopheary.
You say: Hello, Reef.
You think: Dislike both names.
Meet my daughter, Summit Teal.
You say: Hi, Summit.
You think: I really like Teal but not Summit.
Meet my son, Tennessee Joel.
You say: Hello, Tennessee.
You think: I think he'll grow up to resent that name.
Meet my son, Wolf Isaac.
You say: Hi, Wolf.
You think: Isaac Wolf would've been nicer....
Meet my son, Coast Washington.
You say: Hi, Coast...
You think: Washington Coast?
Meet my son, Sawyer Sherwood.
You say: Hi, Sawyer.
You think: Too much 'S' sound.
Meet my son, Lasher Raphael.
You say: Hi, Lasher! Is your name from the Mayfair Chronicles?
You think: Oh yay! I LOVED the name, but the character its on would make me very hesitant to use it.
Meet my son, Cerulean Oliver.
You say: Hello, Cerulean.
You think: Cerulean sounds feminine to me.
Meet my son, Gage Clydesdale.
You say: Hi, Gage.
You think: He doesn't look like a horse to me.

You say: Nice to meet you, Halo.

You think: Stag? :(
Meet my son, Paige Talamascan.
You say: Hello, Paige.
You think: Another Anne Rice reference?

You say: Hi, Delta.
You think: I dislike both names.
