People’s reactions when you tell them your baby’s/child’s name.

For DD1 i always get oh like Ava Gardner ... umm yeah exactly like some old startlet i've NEVER heard of
And now we Have A & Z and DP and i are L & M i get did you deliberately pick the start, middle & end... NO we did not but thanks for being the 100th person to point it out

The nicest comments are that they are beautiful names and that they suit them... lucky we chose fairly 'common' names without meaning too i guess.

Love that you get äre you "Greek"

Love your story Epacris George is such a lovely, strong name!

For us, people always have positive comments for DD and DS1's names (L ily K ate and L iam J effery) but when I get asked DS2's name (C aelan J ames), I often get 'Caleb?' or 'That's unusual' and it usually gets compared to my first two 'normal' names and I have been asked if we made it up (no we didn't) and why on earth I would choose such a 'different' name for #3. Well....because we liked it!

Hmm can't really remember getting many comments about DD's name (Imogen), people have said nice things but usually I'm paying them eg. Hairdressers, Waxers, Optomotrists, Doctors so who knows what they really think!
