This is my son, Arnold.
You Say: Hi Arnold! Do you have a nickname?
You Think: I doubt there's any nickname that could make Arnold sound like he belongs in this century.This is my daughter, Bree.
You Say: What a sweet little girl.
You Think: Meh, what's wrong with Aubrey or Brianna?This is my daughter, Flynn.
You Say: Hi Flynn.
You Think: Too masculine for a little girl.This is my son, Eugene.
You Say: He looks just like you!
You Think: No, thanks.This is my daughter, Nellie.
You Say: Hi Nellie.
You Think: Cute, but not really a name that "grows" with a child.This is my son, Lemuel.
You Say: I'm sorry, what did you say his name was?
You Think: Like a lemming?This is my daughter, Myrtle.
You Say: She's adorable. How old is she?
You Think: ...because that is not a name that belongs on anyone under the age of 80.This is my daughter, Bernice.
You Say: Hi Bernice!
You Think: It's okay, but I've always liked Bernadette better.This is my daughter, Amaryllis.
You Say: Hi Amaryllis.
You Think: Pretty, but maybe a little complex.This is my son Dudley.
You Say: Hi Dudley. Do you call him by a nickname?
You Think: ...because if you don't, some schoolyard bully is going to christen him "Dud" and it's probably going to stick with him for a long time.
(Hope I wasn't too harsh, it's all in good fun)

No, you weren't too harsh. I expect this and it's not like they're all my favorite names ;-) I love to read funny answers. Isn't it what this game is all about?
