Daughter: Summer Jennine (je-NEEN)
You say: That's cute

Son: Ian Brady
You Say: How cute
You think: How cute (in a good way)

Son: Damian Kristjan (Kristjan is not prononuced Christian just for a side note, if I could get it to work on my computer, the a is accented, so it is Krist-jon, or to that effect, Im not very good at the sounding out part, if you follow the link though you will find it, its Icelandic)
You say: How original, I like it
You think: Damian not a favorite, hopefully he won't act like the kid in The Omen. But it's not overly common and the mn is different and interesting (in a good way).

Son: Johnathan Brock
You say: That's nice
You think: Johnathan is boring and misspelled but not horrible. Brock is great, would've better a better first name.

Son: Nicholas Leif (nn. Nichol)
You say: How nice
You think: Nicholas is way overdone, and calling him Nichol (Nickel or Nicole???) doesn't help much. But it is a nice, strong name. Leif is ok.
