This is my son -
Alexei James
You say - What a great name! Do you have a nickname,
Alexei?
You think - I love it! It's gorgeous. If he was mine, I'd call him
Sascha.
This is my son - Atreyu
David
You say - Cool name--is it after the Neverending Story?
You think - Dear God,
If you love me, this sweet little boy won't have been named for one of the crappiest bands on the planet.
Love,
Amy
This is my son -
Ewan Marcus
You say - Nice to meet you,
Ewan.
You think - I love
Marcus. It's so cute, in that I-just-killed-a-duck! way.
Ewan's too closely associated with McGregor, though.
This is my son -
Sebastian Edward
You say - How nice! I love
Edward.
You think - But
Sebastian is horrible! At least he could go by Seb. And at least he's not named Bastian--that's worse yet.
This is my son -
Maxwell Joseph (
Max)

Max.
You think - "
Maxwell's
Silver Hammer" is going to be stuck in my head forever now.
This is my daughter -
Seren Alice
You say -
Seren's an interesting name. Where is it from?
You think - I love Alice--and I might love
Seren, too. Reminds me of my sister's name.

Megan Lily

Megan.
