I say: "This is my daughter,
Lavinia Eunice."
You say: She is adorable...
You think: so is her name.
I say: "This is my daughter,
Antonia Linnet."
You say:
Antonia?
My name is
Toni, so that's kind of the same... how cute.
You think: Think, wow, my name is
Toni... and
My Antonia was a great book...
I say: "This is my daughter,
Matilda Alice."
You say: Oh, how cute.
You think: Of the book by
Ronald Dahl and
Alice in Wonderland, but still like the name.
I say: "This is my son,
James Riley."
You say:
James is pretty classic...
You think: and pretty common.
I say: "This is my daughter,
Sayuri Lynn."
You say: Oh, that's a very interesting name.
You think: Of
Sayuri from Memoirs of a Geisha.
As you can tell I'm a bit of a book fiend.
