I've just read yesterday's Guardian. There's an article about the Pheonix family. There seems to be an odd one out here, too:

River
Rain
Joaquin
Summer
Liberty

It's amazing how little imagination some people have. What a shame for these children growing up being called something so similar to a sibling. It's not like there is a shortage of names.

There is a girl on MTV Teen Mom who has twins called Ali and Aleeah.

My DC names don't really go though. DS1 and DD have very traditional names but DS2 has a name that some may consider chav. So they probably sound odd together.

I knew two brothers in the 70s when I was at uni in Glasgow, called Jesus and Moses.
Also knew a family of 4 girls, all called -Anne: Carolanne, Maryanne etc. Mum's name was ............ Anne!

Matthew, Mark, Luke and Angus is the best!

I love Matthew, Mark, Luke and Angus! The Scottish apostle, written out in the authorised version perhaps!

Mary Beth, Mary Pat, Mary Jo and Mary Kay.

I used to know a family with 4 girls, Tina, Tara, Tracey and Tanya. Children of the 80's as you can probably guess. I suppose once you've done 2 the same you have to commit to it and continue the theme.

Tim and Tom

Love Matthew, Mark, Luke and Angus!

A guy I work with has a nephew and niece called Sam and Ella which are lovely names but it always sounds like he is talking about Salmonella...

OwlMother · 07/07/2011 18:38

Charlie and Lola, both girls.

cookielove · 07/07/2011 18:38

I knew a Storm (g) Skye (g) and Maia (g) - i thought there was a theme going until the last one, but i think mum chose the first two then dad for that last one.

Rihanna, Lola and James.

Urban legend has it that there are Dolce and Gabbana twins somewhere in Glasgow.

I used to know a family who had six children, all beginning with L, and lots with versions of the same names, something like Leon & Leo, Lewis, Louis, Louise and Lola.
