This is my son, Arsene.
You say: How did you come up with that?
You think: It sounds like Arsen, s*upid parents. This is my daughter, Ophelia. We call her Phee.
You say: That's so gorgeous!
You think: " "!!This is my son, Harlequin. We call him Harley.
You say: . . . . . Qin would be a nice nn as well.
You think: Ridiculous, as if Harlequin wasn't enough, they call him "Harley" - the name of a motorbike. I really hate trendy names, in a few years, they're going to sound utterly ridiculous, especially when the child is grown. And yeah, Quin, MUCH better as a nn than HarleyThis is my daughter, Perdita.
You say: How lovely!
You think: " "!. The parents have great tasteThis is my son, Hermes.
You say: Are you French?
You think: If they're not French, it's just silly to name your kid something like Herems, silly attempt at trying to be ahead of the curve - a child is not a department store!!!!!!These are my twin daughters, Ariadne and Persephone.
You say: They sound great together
You think: They do match style wise, but I persoanlly do not like the names. At least they're better than Harlequin etc. These are my twin sons, Leslie and Valentine.
You say: Valentine is interesting
You think: Weird - the names don't even match. Valentine runs rings around Leslie style wise. Leslie is really dislike, but Valentine is ok.This is my daughter, Constantina. We call her Connie.
You say: So, she just goes by Connie?
You think: Dislike the names strongly, and Connie? - to middle aged for my liking.
