You hear: Andreas Raphael
You say: Andreas is a nice name ...
You think: ... But I still prefer Andrew, were it not for overuse. Raphael sounds stuffy.
You hear: Leonard Allan
You say: Probably nothing, because if someone has a plain / very ordinary name, you don't generally comment at all.
You think: Leonard is not ready for a comeback. Far too dated - embarrassingly dated, so that he'd cringe introducing himself, rather than attractively dated.
You hear: Katarina Falk
You say: Katarina is a beautiful name.
You think: As above, although Caterina is my preferred form. Falk has a good meaning ... but the sound is just very unattractive.
You hear: Helen Amarante
You say: Amarante is very pretty!
You think: The same. It would've been too much as a first name though. Wasn't a good idea to pair it with Helen - Amarante just highlights Helen's dullness.
You hear: Morgana Elise
You say: Morgana is such a beautiful name.
You think: The same. Elise sounds like a filler, and the vowels run together in an awkward way (giving that jolty ah-eh sound).
You hear: Bridget Helen
You say: Probably nothing, because if someone has a plain / very ordinary name, you don't generally comment at all.

You hear: Alistair Philip
You say: Probably nothing, because if someone has a plain / very ordinary name, you don't generally comment at all.
You think: Aaargh! Not another Alistair to remember!!!!! (Where I live, it is not too overused at the moment, but consistently has been for a bout 60 years, and I must be acquainted with 30 or more.)
You hear: Samuel Kenneth
You say: Probably nothing, because if someone has a plain / very ordinary name, you don't generally comment at all.
You think: OK, but a bit dreary and grey.
I always think I sound overly critical in these say/think things! But I'm always looking for perfection in a name and can hardly ever find it :-(

Actually ...
... Falk has grown on me since this morning :-) Assuming it's pronounced "fawlk", not "fahlk".

Wups - forgot my thinking on Bridget
You hear: Bridget Helen
You say: Probably nothing, because if someone has a plain / very ordinary name, you don't generally comment at all.
You think: Helen is very dull indeed. Bridget is sweeter, perhaps because it's longer since it's been overused. They both need a more interesting combination though - together they're both dull.

You hear: Andreas Raphael
You say: Nice name.
You think: I don't care for Andreas. Reminds me of the San Andreas fault, and looks like the plural for Andrea. Raphael is good.
You hear: Leonard Allan
You say: Is he named for someone?
You think: Leonard? Call him Leo and it's all good. Allan seems like a filler mn to me, and is misspelled.
You hear: Katarina Falk
You say: How pretty.
You think: Katarina is very pretty. Hope Falk is a family name.
You hear: Helen Amarante
You say: How pretty.
You think: Helen is kind of blah, and the name of my annoying aunt. Aramante is pretty.
You hear: Morgana Elise
You say: Very pretty.
You think: It is.

You say: Very pretty.
You think: It is. Helen is better in the middle.
You hear: Alistair Philip

You think: I just can't warm up to Alistair, sorry.

LOL
The comments were hilarious. Just a heads up - Leonard Allan was my grandfather, my dad is Lynn Allan, and I want to honor them both, hence Leonard Allan. And yup, I hate Leonard, too.
Falk is the latter part of my last name.
And Kenneth would be the dad, and its a tradition to give a form of the father's name and mother's name to one son and one daughter.

You hear: Andreas Raphael
You say: Those are both nice underused names
You think: I do like the names but as a combo it's a little vowel heavy.
You hear: Leonard Allan
You say: You don't hear those names much anymore. Do they have meaning to you?
You think: There's a reason you don't hear those names much anymore.
You hear: Katarina Falk
You say: Katarina is such a pretty name.
You think: I hope that kid doesn't end up as another Kate or Kathy.
You hear: Helen Amarante
You say: Helen is such a nice name
You think: Helen is just okay. Amarante is reminding me of amaretto and absinthe. Maybe I just need a drink.
You hear: Morgana Elise
You say: What a pretty combination
You think: Eh. Combo's okay. Morgan Elise sounds better imo but Morgana Elise has more character.
You hear: Bridget Helen
You say: Bridget is such a nice name.
You think: Bridget is such a nice name.
You hear: Alistair Philip
You say: What a nice flowing combo!
You think: While it is a nice flowing combo it sounds kinda wimpy. And all I can think of is Alistair Cooke.
