This is my daughter
Juliet Rose!
You Say: Classic and beautiful.
You Think: I hope
Rose isn't just a filler name. I prefer the spelling
Juliette.
This is my son,
Noah Atticus!
You Say: How adorable, I was once considering the name
Noah.
You Think: You've just brought me tearful memories of losing my
Noah's Ark pillowcase in
Paris. And tearful memories of gruelling my way though To Kill A Mockingbird at high school.
This is my daughter,
Lucinda Violet, she goes by
Lucy.
You Say: Hey
Lucy.
Lucy was my favourite name when I was a kid.
You Think:
Violet sounds too much like violent.
Lucy is lovely but very popular in the UK.
Lucinda would be cute with the nickname Cinda too.
This is my son,
Asher Benjamin!
You Say: Ahhhh *can't contain excitement*! I'd like to call my next son
Asher. Hey,
Ash!
You Think: Lay off one of my favourite names. I usually find
Benjamin slightly tiresome, but it works so well here.
This is my daughter,
Adelaide May!
You Say: Hey,
Adele.
You Think: Kangeroo, put another shrimp on the barby.
May is blatently a filler.
This is my son,
Moses Andrew!
You Say: Hey basket-boy
You Think: Please never call him
Mo.
Andrew works well here in calming down the offbeat
Moses, but
Andrew itself is so overused.
This is my daughter, Lyla
Ruth!
You Say: 1 word,
Lilo. I can't help it, you inflatable mattress.
You Think: That was a bit harsh, the combo is nice enough,
Ruth is underused.
This is my son,
Benjamin Luca!
You Say: Yet another
Ben.
You Think:
Luca doesn't fit.
