This is my son Ludwig.

T:This is my son, Claud-Carl.

T:This is my daughter, Fancy. I see by the look on your face that you are disconcerted; fear not, her actual name is Frances. I wanted to call her Fanny but I think Fancy's a little more workable, don't you?

This is my son Ludwig.
S: Ludwig? Really? You have the coolest name ever! We're best friends now.
T: We'll have to see if Ludwig is cool enough to have that name. It'd be unfortunate if he was not.This is my son, Claud-Carl.
S: Hi Claude-Carl! That's adorable. Should I call him by his full name?
T: Cool. Crossing my fingers he isn't teased in junior high school. That'd be so unfortunate.This is my daughter, Fancy. I see by the look on your face that you are disconcerted; fear not, her actual name is Frances. I wanted to call her Fanny but I think Fancy's a little more workable, don't you?
S: I'm so happy to meet a little Frances!
T: Francy would have been a quad-droople-plex times better.This is my son, Franz Felix.
S: Hey Franzy! Your name rocks!
T: 'Tis true. It kicks ass.This is my daughter, Delight.
S: How sweet!
T: Well, since it's on a real person, I'll force myself to only see the upsides, though I really hope her sister isn't named something like Precious...This is my daughter Wilma.
S: Wilma, that's such an endearing name for a little girl...She just made my day!
T: She really did. I just hope to God that other people can appreciate it.This is my daughter Nella.
S: Nella? That's cool! Is it short for anything?
T: Vanilla perhaps? It's pretty cool though. That association just keeps bothering me.These are my sons, Fingal and Finbar.
S: Cooool! Those are new ones. What nationality do the names belong to?
T: Kind of awesome, but kind of odd. So odd that I as a name-nerd needed to look them up. I do like the names though.

Oh my god I didn't even think of Phineas and Nigella Black. Oh my god.If Ludwig wasn't cool enough, I think he could go by Louis pretty easily. I mean I hope :D
I normally hate normal names on animals; something just tickles me to death about Chris.
Thanks! :D

No problem!Phineas Nigellus Black is what popped to mind to be exact =). I don't think many other people would notice lol. Maybe just use a more normal mn with Ludwig?True. Something is pretty hilarious about a pig named Chris.

This is my son Ludwig.
S: "Nice name."
T: Oh, no.This is my son, Claud-Carl.
S: "Are you named after anyone?"
T: She could have done better than that. This is my daughter, Fancy. I see by the look on your face that you are disconcerted; fear not, her actual name is Frances. I wanted to call her Fanny but I think Fancy's a little more workable, don't you?
S: "Oh, yes."
T: Psh, hell no.This is my son, Franz Felix.
S: "I have to go to the bathroom now..."
T: ... to throw up.This is my daughter, Delight.
S: "That's nice."
T: That's crazy.This is my daughter Wilma.
S: "I have an aunt named Wilma."
T: I never liked that aunt...This is my daughter Nella.
S: "Hi, Nella."
T: Nellie would have been so much better!These are my sons, Fingal and Finbar.
S: "I have to be going, now..."
T: ... before I say something that will insult them.These are my children, Phineas and Nigella.
S: "Hi, you two."
T: Bye.This is my daughter Birdie. Why, yes, since you ask, it's short for Bernadette.
S: "Bernadette is a nice name."
T: "Lord, please don't strike me down for lying."This is my son Sylvester.
S: "Hi."
T: That's a cat in a carton!!

Wait, you actually think Fancy doesn't work better than Fanny?
vote up1
I don't like either of them.

Yeah but the question is, would you rather be named Fanny or Fancy? Since Fanny means bottom and all.
vote up1
I'd rather be Frances, honestly.
vote up1
Yeah but lol
you are ducking the question here
because if you honestly think it's not any less obscene to be named Fanny than Fancy, that's one vote in Fanny's favor.

Sorry, I was checking another site for a little bit. I didn't see that. Well, I would rather be Fanny probably. Because around here "fancy" is a word we use ALOT, so Fanny isn't too common.
