This is my daughter Castle.
You Say: Hi! How do you spell that?
You Think: Castle is... interesting. I've seen worse. Wouldn't be sure if it was the word or some made-up name though.
This is my daughter Adventure.
You Say: hi... *tries not to grimace*
You Think: Um, what?
This is my daughter Neverending.
You Say: hi! What's your name? *tries not to look too worried*
You Think: it's that long, eh? Or perhaps the labor was that long. Or the crying.
This is my daughter Excalibur.
You Say: Hi, do you go by a nickname?
You Think: like Ecstasy, or Sword, or some other cruel joke by the kids at school?
This is my daughter Firefly.
You Say: Hi! That's cute. Is that a nickname or your real name?
You Think: Because it's very cute for a nickname, a bit too far out there for a given name, though I've seen much worse. It's better than Castle, IMO.
This is my daughter Camelot.
You Say: Hi there. *tries not to grimace*
You Think: Ugh. masculine and what teasing potential! poor kid.
This is my daughter Galilee.
You Say: hi!
You Think: Cute. (best one so far.)
This is my daughter Moon.
You Say: hi there.
You Think: I like Moon.
This is my daughter
Hanako.
You Say: Hi there. Is there a story behind your name (if she doesn't look asian)
You Think: Like your parents were really into Anime or something?
This is my daughter
Gethsemane.
You Say: Hi there. What was your name again?
You Think: Because I'm really not exactly sure how to pronounse this, and it looks tricky. Other than that, it's NMS but I wouldn't be bothered by it.
This is my daughter Thursday.
You Say: hello.
You Think: Uhg. another weekday name. hate those. they can be so confusing on identification tags.
Hope she doesn't go into a field were that's a problem.
