What are you asking? You have four DC and are having a fifth? Which is the name? The names are fine, but don’t go together. Jacinta, Elizabeth and Xavier are good. Patrick is great. Not keen on Blaine.

Are you writing a novel or are these real people?

For children or a novel?
Elizabeth fine
Jacinta ok
Xavier depends upon pronunciation
Blaise saints name but awful
Paddy awful as in Paddy Power, Paddy pants down (Patrick is ok)

"Sib set" 😂
Collect one, collect em all!

Erm, none of those names go together IMO. None of them feel of the same "Ilk"

All over the place.

One Irish diminutive, one Spanish, two French, (well Xavier could be either French or Spanish), one Swiss.

Oh no these are siblings who I know.
I've always thought that the parents had done quite well in a time when you have families emulating the Kardashians/attempting to stick to a 'theme.'

Paddy is Patrick on the birth cert afaik.

The Kardashians stick to a letter not a theme.

Thats why the slash was used in the sentence.
For clarity, I'm not a great fan of either.

Who cares?
Are they Irish Catholic?

Well I care, obviously Grin
Catholic but not Irish.

I like themes as long as they’re not too matchy matchy.

Report
HotSince82 · 02/12/2019 19:00

Actually the fact that they all have saints' names probably counts as a theme...

I suppose it does but it’s rather a random selection.

Why do you care? All you’re doing is criticising.

HotSince82 · 02/12/2019 20:26

No I'm not.
I haven't criticised them at all, quite the opposite.

Do you not think listing the names of someone else's children and inviting public judgement on them is a bit sinister/mean spirited/ odd OP?

Report
HotSince82 · 02/12/2019 22:28

No, not really. Though I take it from your comment that you do.

It would be entirely different if these were your own DCs names

How many families are there with 5 DC of these names?

One, I'd imagine

Imagine being the DM of these DC sitting at a computer thinking "which of my "friends"has done this?"

"why do they care so much?"

I'd be freaked out so bad

Fair enough, people differ I suppose.

If it were me I'd be chuffed; although as I think they have named their children well I wasn't expecting many negative responses.

However I suppose its prudent to add; Hi, if you're reading this, its your friend with the orange coat here. I immortalised your tribe on MN, mine's a mocha when you next see me Wink

Jacinta is shocking.

Blaise is awful.

Elizabeth is beautiful and Paddy is great.

Xavier - old fashioned yet a bit ‘try hard’
