Teal JulietteYou Say:
Juliette is so nice!

Teal? Is she insane?!
Meet my daughter,
Jordana Eve!

Jordana is a major GP of mine, and
Eve is lovely as a middle or first name.
This is my daughter,
Erin LeonoraYou Say: How nice!
You Think:
Erin's kind of boring, but it's growing on me. And
Leonora's very good.
My daughter,
Enya Simone, is pleased to meet you.
You Say: Hello
Enya SimoneYou Think:
Enya? That sounds so silly. And
Simone is so trashy, I hope it doesn't become a new filler mn.
_______, meet my daughter, Salem
Penelope.
You Say: Hey Salem.
You Think: Salem's interesting. I don't usually like place names, but I haven't heard this before. And
Penelope is fun, I'm glad someone is named it.
Cambria Rosamund, say hello to _____!
You Say: Hello,
Cambria!
You Think: Ugh, I can't stand
Cambria, but
Rosamund is so good! Br- is so ugly, and Bria in all its forms is so dated and tacky. But
Rosamund is so classy and underused. How did two such different names come out of the same parents? And why is
Cambria first?
This is my daughter,
Lucinda Isabelle.
You Say: Awesome!
You Think: I
LOVE Lucinda! And
Isabelle is nice, if overused lately. At least it's a middle name.
This is my daughter,
Simona Magdalene.
You Say: Cool
You Think:
Simona's a little better than
Simone, I guess. And I'm glad to see a parent with enough guts to use
Magdalene.
Simona Magdalene goes nicely anyway.
