"This is my daughter, Elaina Halle." (HAL-ee, not HAY-lee)
You say: What a pretty name!
You think: I much prefer it spelt Elena. I don't care for Halle at all and it doesn't seem to fit with Elaina.

"This is my daughter, Lilah Cordelia."
You say: Lilah Cordelia is such a beautiful name!
You think: Lilah is sweet but getting trendy. Cordelia is gorgeous.

---

"This is my daughter, Lilah Rhiannon."
You say: How lovely!
You think: Ditto above Lilah comment. I don't care for Rhiannon but it's an interesting middle name.

---

"This is my daughter, Isabel Aurora."
You say: Such a pretty name.
You think: Isabel is lovely, it's a shame it's gotten so popular. Aurora is okay but a bit princessy.

---

"This is my daughter, Isabel Helena." (hel-AY-nah)
You say: She has a beautiful name.
You think: Ditto above Isabel comment. Helena is gorgeous and it's a lovely combo.

---

"This is my daughter, Eleanor Ophelia. We call her Elle."
You say: Ooh, I love the name Eleanor.
You think: I do love Eleanor, it's my favourite name. Why ruin it by calling her Elle? Ophelia makes a nice middle name.

---

"This is my daughter, Fiona Scarlett."
You say: Ooh, that's pretty.
You think: It is pretty, I don't hear Fiona a lot. Scarlett is nice but getting trendy.

---

"This is my son, Sebastian Oliver."
You say: Such a handsome name.
You think: It's okay but I don't care for either name. They sound a bit pretentious when paired together.

---

"This is my son, Rhys Alexander."
You say: I love that spelling of Rhys.
You think: I do love that spelling, but neither name is my style. It's nice enough.

---

"This is my son, Parker Aidan."
You say: Gosh, that's original!
You think: The epitome of trendy. Parker should not be used on a human being.

---

"This is my son, Clark Gregory."
You say: I don't hear those names very often, how refreshing.
You think: I like Gregory but I'm not sure about Clark.

---

"This is my son, Owen Connor."
You say: That's cute.
You think: Meh, both names are okay but I hear them all the time.
