Family's with Themed names

[Sum Dum Gai]

Calling anyone roo roo is a bad idea.

[Plain Old Petunia]

Right?  That little girl will have a lot to work out in therapy some day.

I knew a Charina and Charice, we called them Rena and Recee.

My kids names sound like the start with the same letter, but they don't (C an K).
The only pattern we have is that they have a first name all their own, a middle name from my side of the family and their Dad's last name.


I knew sisters once named Gabrielle and Goodrin.

But they went by Gabby and Goody.

One lady gave all her kids the same initials. When she was pregnant with #4, she couldn't think of another name with a V. A roll of Viva paper towels fell out of the cabinet, and the girl is named Viva.

I worked with a guy whose son was Tyler and daughter was Tayler.

And my wife worked in a small family-owned business where the sisters were name Joy, Hope and Faith.

My brother and I have the same initials. My Mom let me name my brother. I was 8 years old, I don't know what she was thinking. I have an odd name, so I gave him one too. I don't think people even know his real name, he has at least 3 nicknames. You know where people know him from by what they call him. Now I have a nephew stuck with the same name. Tee hee. Nobody calls him by his real name either. My other nephew's Mom named him something that kind of sounds like my brother's name, but a lot more complicated. He's 6yo and I still cannot remember his real name.  We call him Trey, I'm not sure why.  I have a niece whose first and middle name is similar to my daughter's (on purpose) and another niece whose name is similar to mine (on purpose). That was their Mom's decision, I had nothing to do with any of it.

My children have the same initials, their Dad's. They have normal names, and they don't sound similar. My grandson's first name is a mix of his parents' names, but fortunately it's not as odd as it sounds and it's actually a fairly common name around here. His middle name is something "different". I don't use any of it, I'll keep calling him my Butterbean until DD asks me to stop.

I also had a friend who named their 2 kids Christopher and Christina.  Maybe if you yell Chris they both answer.

And had a friend who named 2 girls Rachel and Raquel.  I guess she just liked the names.

How could I forget my niece and nephew...Kristen and Christopher...I thought it was odd at first but now I'm used to it (they are in their 20s now)

My mom's and most of her sister's names start with K: Karen, Kathy (they're twins), Kris, Michelle, and Kim. My Aunt Michelle is pretty much the only normal one of the family. We'll blame the names. :-)

My kids have themed names. Their first names begin with the same letter and end with the same letter. My daughters middle name is part of my name. Sons middle name is part of dh's name.

Pretty much that!  I know someone who named their sons Hunter and Fisher.  Oy.

This just reminded me of a lady who is a geologist. Her boys names: Stone, Slate, Clayton, Colton.

Sounds like a family that I went to high school with.  Rocky, Dusty, Stoney.  If you had a large family, I suppose you could continue with Pebble, Dirt (as in your name will be dirt), Gritty, Boulder, and so forth.

[toomuchreality]

All the girls in my family, have names that start with the same letter as my mom's. But they don't sound he same and they aren't written the same, so it never really bothered me. I always blamed the fact that people got our names mixed up, with the fact that there were so many of us. The last 2 are twins (boy/girl). Their names sound alike, but that never bothered me either. Seemed pretty normal.

Yikes!  Hopefully there aren't a lot of heads and fish hanging on the wall!

[toomuchreality]

I always wondered why you'd name your kid Peder, when your last name was Pederson.

[toomuchreality]

When you are naming everyone starting with the letter V, and you have 13 kids, it becomes quite a stretch. (I know someone that did this)  Oy.

[ners]

My sister's and I have first names that start with C and the same middle name.  My brothers both start with a J and have the same middle name.

pink cashmere, if he gets freckles, they'll call him speckled butterbean.

One of those is DH's name...never thought about going with a dirt theme! LOL.

My hippy (druggy) niece named her kids Rebel, Wisdom, Justice and Liberty.


OH and my kids went to school with sibs named Sunny  and Shayde

[Apple]

I forgot about my cousin and his wife.  They named the daughters after rivers and the son after a mountain.  The first daughter's name and the boy are pretty common names so you probably wouldn't even notice.  But when they had the second daughter, no one could figure out where in the world they'd come up with a name like hers--that's when we found out about the theme.  It's not really crazy or anything, it is just a weird name.  I adore my cousin's wife, and if any kid can pull off the name, it would be her kid.

[raeoflyte]

Considering we were pretty set on naming dd Cordelia I probably shouldn't post on this thread. We went with our other choice after she was born and I saw her. She looks too much like me to pull off that name. personality wise though she would have been fine.

My sister and I have themed names: Beth and Amy Jo.  Mom was an English teacher and adored Little Women.  The Catholic Church wouldn't let her use Beth so I am actually Elizabeth but no one ever used that other than on my Baptism Certificate.

My girls have a theme only in that they are named after dead relatives! 

[Nazgul Girl]

The only good themed names are the ones which work well with the last name, i.e., Shanda Lear or Jack Pine.   No, just kidding.   No themed names in my family, thank goodness.

[Nazgul Girl]

   I forgot about my stepsisters.   Cecelia, Cynthia, Caren, and Carolyn.   And, of course, their brother, Lou.       All true names.

Oh boy.   Those are some names, although all are better than the unfortunate " North West " baby.

My family ended up with an accidental theme. Me and my 2 female cousins go by unisex names. I know it wasn't intentional but I guess my Mom and her sisters are more feminist than they realised.

[midjd]

My uncle's ex-wife was the daughter of a guy named Don. She was Dawn, her sister, Doncella, and her brother...Paul. Never did figure that reasoning out!

You married a guy named Pebble?!?!

My two male cousins (on my dad's side) have five children between them - all with the initials K.K.  None of them have a middle initial of K, thankfully!
