Feel free to only do the "you think" part, if you want.

---

This is my daughter, Arielle Rain Lily, nn Ella.
You say: What a musical name.
You think: Hippie mermaids!

---

This is my son, Milo Johann.
You say: Pleased to meet you.
You think: I think I can get over thinking Milo is the name of an orange cat.

---

This is my daughter, Caitria Romayne, nn Cait.
You say: Hello, Cait
You think: Yike! It sounds like a snobby variety of lettuce.

---

This is my son, Noah October.
You say: Sounds like the name of band leader.
You think: My cousin Noah was born in October

This is my daughter, Arielle Rain Lily, nn Ella.
You say: how sweet and cute
You think: just name her Ella

---

This is my son, Milo Johann.
You say: nice name
You think: and Otis; two names seem to clash

---

This is my daughter, Caitria Romayne, nn Cait.
You say: that's different
You think: lettuce; it's kind of cute

---

This is my son, Noah October.
You say: nice name
You think: Are you expecting a particularly rainy autumn?

This is my daughter, Arielle Rain Lily, nn Ella.
You say: Hey, Ella! Do people ever tease you for sharing a name with Ariel the mermaid?
You think: Lily is the only one I like, so it's buried in the third slot...come to think of it, why three names when the other kids get two? And why Rain?

---

This is my son, Milo Johann.
You say: Hi, Milo. Your name is great, esp. Johann.
You think: Lovely, though the repeated O is a bit off.

---

This is my daughter, Caitria Romayne, nn Cait.
You say: Hello, Cait. Wow, that name's very unusual. I like it.
You think: Caitria is nice and so is the nickname, but the spelling of it bothers me. It's a personal tick, but I think all spelling other than Kate look so precious. I can understand why you'd rather go with a spelling more logically connected to the name, though. Romayne? Like lettuce?

---

This is my son, Noah October.
You say: Hey Noah.
You think: October? Really?

This is my daughter, Arielle Rain Lily, nn Ella.
You say: Oooh like the mermaid?
You think: It's a pretty name, but I'm not sure if I'll ever get over the whole Disney princess connotation.

---

This is my son, Milo Johann.
You say: It's so nice to see an old fashioned name like Johann used again!
You think: I've never liked Milo much, but Johann is gorgeous.

---

This is my daughter, Caitria Romayne, nn Cait.
You say: Caitria is beautiful.
You think: Romaine lettuce.

---

This is my son, Noah October.
You say: Hello, NoOctober... NoAcktober... oh I give up.
You think: The names are cute, but kind of blend together a bit.

---

If you like the name Caitria, you might like Katery. That's my cousin's name. It's pronounced Kate-ery and I find it gorgeous.

This is my daughter, Arielle Rain Lily, nn Ella.
You say: Hi Ella
You think: I don't like Arielle, Rain Lily remidns me of Tiger Lily, but oether of those would have been a better FN

---

This is my son, Milo Johann.
You say: Hi Milo
You think: Milo is a bit of a dog's name, Johann is nicer as Johan or Jowan

---

This is my daughter, Caitria Romayne, nn Cait.
You say: Hey Cait
You think: Caitria Romaine would have looked better, Caitria is ok, and Romaine is ok as well

---

This is my son, Noah October.
You say: Hi Noah
You think: I like his mn. I always found Noah rather feminine (maybe because one of my favs for a girl is Noa)
