Help[Games] You say, You think...
I haven't done one of these in a while, and the story I'm currently writing has quite a few purposely outlandish names, so I thought I'd give this a try again...
1.) This is our son, Wren Alphonse. Wren, say hi

You say: Nice to meet you, Wren. Is that Wren like the bird?
You think: How emo!
2.) This is my daughter, Minerva Mae.
You say: Nice to meet you, Minerva. Can I call you Minnie?
You think: Minerva is great, but something about that combo just makes me think of a lady having a nervous breakdown.
3.) I'd like you to meet my son, Cadmus Luciano
You say: Hey, Cadmus! What a cool name.
You think: What an odd, juicy name. Hope his fate is better than either of his namesakes'.
4.) This is our daughter, Remembrance Charlotte - everyone calls her Remy
You say: Hi, Remy!
You think: Bet she's spoiled rotten...
5.) This is my son, Vladimir Pavel. He's a little shy

You think: Vladimir Pavel? Amazing.

1.) This is our son, Wren Alphonse. Wren, say hi
You say: Hi, Wren. How ya doin'?
You think: I like Wren for a girl, but I could get used to this.
2.) This is my daughter, Minerva Mae.
You say: Hi, little one.
You think: Why would they name her something so ugly?
3.) I'd like you to meet my son, Cadmus Luciano
You say: Hey, Cad.
You think: A bit much but it works in a handsomely clumsy way.
4.) This is our daughter, Remembrance Charlotte - everyone calls her Remy
You say: Wow, what a name!
You think: I hate the nickname Remy, but her name is … a lot.
5.) This is my son, Vladimir Pavel. He's a little shy
You say: Vladimir is quite an intriguing name.
You think: Black and red. And a cape. Fangs.
6.) We'd like to present out daughter, Marguerite Emerald
You say: How sweet!
You think: Maya Angelou's birth name is Marguerite. Admittedly, it's not the freshest name on the block, but it has a sweetness to it that I like more than a little bit.

1.) This is our son, Wren Alphonse. Wren, say hi
You say: "Hello, Wren!"
You think: Wren is a peculiar name. It's nice enough, but a bit peculiar.
2.) This is my daughter, Minerva Mae.
You say: "She's absolutely gorgeous."
You think: Minerva is a bit fancy, and brings to mind Professor McGonnagal. Mae is rather plain, and brings to mind a Southern Belle. Strange contradiction.
3.) I'd like you to meet my son, Cadmus Luciano
You say: "Wotcher?"
You think: Now that is a name not unfitting a Harry Potter character. A bit unusual, and Cadmus makes me think.
4.) This is our daughter, Remembrance Charlotte - everyone calls her Remy
You say: "Would you mind if I call you Remy?"
You think: I always think Remy is a male name. Oh, well. Remembrance is a mouthful, and a tad bit cheesy for me.
5.) This is my son, Vladimir Pavel. He's a little shy
You say: *smiles at the boy* "Hello there."
You think: A very Russian name. Not my cup of tea, but not - to carry on the metaphor - a cup of mercury either.
6.) We'd like to present out daughter, Marguerite Emerald
You say: "Pleasure to be of your acquaintance, Miss Marguerite."
You think: A fancy name! Not all to objectionable, but a bit too frilly and lacy for me. Not too fond of Emerald, but not bad.

1.) This is our son, Wren Alphonse. Wren, say hi
You say: Hello! Pleased to meet you!
You think: I've heard of Wren as a girl's name, but not a boy's name. And Alphonse isn't really my cup of tea, but whatever floats your boat, I guess.
2.) This is my daughter, Minerva Mae.
You say: Minerva? Hi.
You think: Minerva as in Minerva McGonagall, and the Roman Goddess of wisdom, etc? I like Minerva, but I don't think I'd ever use it. I like Mae, too, but I don't necessarily like Minerva and Mae together.
3.) I'd like you to meet my son, Cadmus Luciano
You say: One more time, please? Cadmus Luciano?
You think: Cadmus makes me think of Cadmium, and Luciano makes me think of Lucius Malfoy. God, I really am a geek...
4.) This is our daughter, Remembrance Charlotte - everyone calls her Remy
You say: Hi Remy! How are you?
You think: Remembrance is quite a mouthful, isn't it? No wonder she goes by Remy. I actually like Remy better... I love Charlotte, though.
5.) This is my son, Vladimir Pavel. He's a little shy
You say: Happy to meet you, Vladimir.
You think: Does the family have Russian roots? Vladimir and Pavel are both strongly Russian. If they do have Russian roots, I wonder why the rest of the kids don't have Russian names.
