This is my son, Magnus Henry.
You say: Oh, how unusual...
You think: ... but I like it. I hope he doesn't get made fun of though. Nice combo.

This is my daughter, Rosemary Beatrice.
You say: Oh, how cute is she?
You think: I like Rosemary, it isn't that common and I like Beatrice, but I'm not sure if I like them together.

This is my son, Oscar Theodore
You say: I love his name.
You think: I love his name. I could never really use Oscar myself because of Oscar the Grouch, but I do love the name.

This is my daughter, Anna Cecilia.
You say: Such a pretty name.
You think: And it is... but I would prefer Anne Cecilia or Anna Cecily , because of the double -ah sound at the ends...

This is my son, Jasper Hugh.
You say: Oh hello Jasper.
You think: Neither Jasper nor Hugh are my favorites... they're alright together though.

This is my daughter, Dorothy Alice.
You say: Aww, she's really adorable.
You think: I wish she had just named her Alice. Dorothy reminds me of the Wizard of Oz or a woman in her 60s... although names are being brought back into style lately.

This is my daughter, Pearl Rosemary.
You say: Oh, hello Pearl.
You think: I'm not big on Pearl as a name simply because of the way it sounds... but it is combined nicely with Rosemary.
