This is my daughter,
Adriana Sofia. (
Adriana is said ah-dree-ah-nah, like Audrey-ana)
Say: How feminine!
Think: I love the names individually, but hate when first & mns both end with the same vowel sound.
This is my son,
Ian Alexander.
Say: That's such a great name!
Think: Ditto
This is my daughter,
Olivia Simone.
Say: How pretty.
Think: I love
Simone, but
Olivia is getting over-used.
This is my son,
Nathaniel William. We call him
Nathan.
Say: So classic.
Think: That's such a long combo. Why not
Nathan William?
This is my daughter,
Charlotte Amelia.
Say:
Charlotte is a gorgeous name.
Think: I hate
Amelia. Good thing it's her mn & no one will have to know when she gets older.
This is my son,
William James. We call him
Liam.
Say: Ohhh, I love the name
Liam! And what a masculine combo.
Think: Why didn't I use
Liam? Oh, yeah, b/c DH hates it.
These are my twin daughters,
Emmeline Hope [
Emmeline is said EH-meh-line) and
Sophia Rachel.
Say: What gorgeous, old-fashioned names!
Think:
Emmeline is a nice change from
Emily, but
Sophia is a bit to popular for my taste.
This is my son,
Jacob Oliver.
Say: Does he go by
Jake?
Think: I love the names
Jake &
Oliver.
Jacob is ok.
This is my daughter,
Noelle Tatiana. (
Tatiana is said tah-tee-AH-nah)
Say: Hi,
Noelle.
Think: I love the names, but they don't flow well.
This is my son,
Joseph Henry. We call him
Joey.
Say: Is he named after family?
Think: I like the names individually, but together, they don't have much sparkle. Then again, maybe she doesn't want her boy to "sparkle!" :o)
This is my daughter,
Emilia Rose. (
Emilia is said eh-mih-LEE-uh)
Say: I've only met one other
Emilia. It's such a nice name.
Think: But the combo is boring.
This is my daughter,
Anneliese Natalia.
Say: I had a room mate named
Anneliese. She was such a sweetie.
Think: That's a gorgeous (if slightly long) combo.
Proud adopter of eight PPs! See my profile for their names.
