Well, just tell me if I'm doing it wrong...
This is my daughter,
Anna Sofia.
Think: Makes me think of a Spanish dancer. For whatever reason also of the song '
Santa Lucia'. Not sure why though...maybe the double As.
Say: "You have a beautiful little girl."
This is my son,
Nathaniel Jacob. We call him
Nathan.
Think: I like the name, though I wonder why they don't just call him
Nate.
Say: "Nice to meet you,
Nathan."
This is my daughter,
Adriana (ah-dree-AH-nah)
Sofia.
Think: Sounds like a very British name. I'll have to be careful of pronouncing this one.
Say: "Hello
Adriana. How are you?"
This is my son,
Benjamin Joshua. We don't use a nickname.
Think: Doesn't flow very well, but I like the names separately. Why no nickname?
Say: "Good morning,
Benjamin."
This is my daugter,
Anne Katarina.
Think: Sounds elegant and a little stuck up, but I can live with it.
Say: "Wonderful meeting you
Anne. Do you go by
Annie?"
This is my son,
Nicholas Ian. Sometimes we call him
Nico.
Think: Why not
Nick or
Nicky?
Say: "Hello
Nicholas. Nice to meet you."
This is my daughter,
Tatiana (tah-tee-AH-nah)
Camille (cah-MEEL).
Think: Another British name...I like this one though. A nickname would be nice.
Say: "
Tatiana is a very nice name."
This is my son,
Luca Nathaniel.
Think: Reminds me of a stuck up boarding school boy.
Say: "I don't think I know another
Luca. You'll be easy to remember."
This is my daughter,
Lila (LIE-lah)
Simone.
Think: I suppose its okay. I like the
Simone, not so much the
Lila. If it was
Lily, that would be another story.
Say: "Your name sounds so pretty!"
