Completely OT: "theme" names

[ECB]

I was watching House Hunters the other day. The girl on the show was named Winter (which I visualize, for some reason, as Wynter. Help me).

She has 3 sisters. Wanna guess what their names are?

[agnes]

Summer, Autumn, and Spring?

[RitzyHeifer]

Yech.

Our financial planner's children are all named shades of green - Hunter, Forest, Sage, Kelly, etc. We figure maybe it's a good thing for a money person to be obsessed with green?

Wow. I am sort of impressed. But also rolling my eyes. And here I thought having everyone's name starting with the same letter was bad.

We had siblings at our school named Cinnamon and Sage. But this was Oklahoma, so we also had Sterling Silver and Chase Manhattan Banks. I'm not kidding. As well as a plethora of Crystals, Brandys, and Candys.

My mom works at an elementary school had three sisters come through her class:

Mercedes, Bentley, and Lexxus (not sure why there needed to be two x's, lol)

One of our neighbors has kids all named for his favorite college team, the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Kinnick (the stadium), Hayden (former beloved football coach) and Gable (former wrestling coach).

The worst I knew were 3 boys named for guns- Colt, Ruger, and I can never remember the other one.

Spring seems like such a weird name. I get Summer, Autumn, and even maybe Winter...but Spring just doesn't sound right.

I agree!

A couple I went to highschool with named their 5 kids after the water/ocean/sailing.

Mer, Mast, Lake, Key and.... can't remember the last.

My friend's husband and his three siblings all have A-names. His siblings have followed the tradition, so now all the grandkids also have A-names. My friend is pregnant and is feeling pressured to name the kid an A-name. I would not like that!

I went to HS with twins: Austin and Dustin.

I think the theme depends on what the theme is too. You could say biblical names are a theme, but they are so common and there are so many of them that noone seems to notice.

I went to school with 2 girls named Brandy and Sherry. Their dad was an alcoholic and they had a brother who was named after a drink too. I can't remember what it was though.

Family growing up had 3 kids- Kristy, Kristin, and Kristopher.

ILs have 8 "Br-"s. I also know a family with 7 "-in"s.

OMG! Brian, Brenda, Bradley, Brandon..?

[agnes]

MIL did the same first letter as the first and last name (e.g. Scott Smith) for her first set of kids and the second set of kids. She swears she didn't do it on purpose.

I went to high school with 5 sisters that were all old testament names like Judith, Rachel, Sarah, etc.

I also went with four sists, Whitney, Courtney there was another one with 'ney at the end and then one that was named something that didn't rhyme like meredith.

And I shouldn't talk because if DH would have let me all three of my boys would have been famous "warriors"

[hisno1girl]

I had a client whose girls were all named after gems: Diamond, Jade, Sapphire, Opal, and the best one: Platinum.

Also, their last name was a type of metal (think: Steel/Silver/Gold), so, uh yeah.

I guess she didn't know the rules: No naming girls after spices, gems or cars, lest they end up on the pole.

[littlemisssunshine]

I knew a girl who's name was Brooke Lynn Bridge. Why do people do this to their kids?! H and his siblings and dad all have the same initials...JKB. I find it dumb.

I know a Chaser who was named because of his dad's affinity for whiskey with a beer chaser.

Most of the Brandy (and Brandi, Brandey, etc) that I know were named that because one or both parents thought it sounded really classy.

Booby- were they the inspiration for My Big Fat Greek Wedding?

DS is named Jack. Jameson was #2 on our list. We laughed that we can never use Jameson if we have another boy because people will think we're alcoholics

She spells it Wynter. My DVR says.

Oh, really? Ha. Now I wonder if her siblings Spryng, Autymn and Summyr.
