These are my daughters Miguela and Norma.
You say: Hi, Miguela. Hi, Norma.
You think: Hmm, I like Miguel, but don't really care for Miguela. And Norma makes me think of "normal".This is my son Timothy.
You say: Hi, Timothy!
You think: Yay, they're actually calling him Timothy, not Tim!This is my son Harrison.
You say: Hi, Harrison.
You think: Eh, I like it better than plain Harry, but it doesn't really sound like it's meant to be a first name.This is my daughter Lashawn.
You say: Hi, Lashawn.
You think: Sounds too needlessly "made up", and besides, I end up wanting to say Lashawna instead, because it seems like the normal pattern is La-[name]-a rather than just La-[name]. At least it has normal capitalization, rather than being LaShawn.This is my daughter Ernestina.
You say: Hi, Ernestina. That's an interesting name; I used to know a woman who was named Erneta, after her dad, Ernest.
You think: I like Erneta better as a feminine form of Ernest. I don't care for the "-tina" ending, and it just sounds like it's a masculine name with a tacked-on, overly-feminine ending, rather than a separate name.This is my daughter Circe.
You say: Hi, Circe; that's a cool name!
You think: That *is* a cool name! She'll have to correct pronunciation a lot, but it's not too hard. There might be a bit of joking if her class reads the turning-men-into-pigs story, but who knows, everyone might think that just makes the name cooler!
