My children's names are all former English tennis players' names!

This wasn't deliberate although I was aware of it. Nobody has ever noticed it, so although it's a theme, it's not a cheesey one.

lilolilmanchester · 04/01/2009 16:38

Not intentionally, but both names end with the same sound. Which coincidentally is the same sound as the end of my "long" name. Much to the amusement of our dentist, who calls us the "(sound)s"

LiffeyAnnaLivia · 04/01/2009 16:35

Duchesse, good names all of them!

PinkPoinsettias · 04/01/2009 15:34

both dd asd ds are 5 letters first and 7 letters middle hebrew names, similar rythym, first names with A as second lettter and vowel second last letter, both second names end in L.

if this baby is a boy it will pribably be 5 & 7 again with A second letter and vowel second last again.

it's just a nice rythym... i don't really do it on purpse but i seem drawn to these names/combnations!

My favourite boys' name has five letters and an "A" in it!

Tis Rowan.

Of your girls' names, I like Darcy best but tbh I prefer it for a middle name. Of your boys I like James best, then Isaac. I don't like Shaun.

Our theme is Hebrew names, although dd2's is a derivative of, rather than an original, Hebrew name.

Duchesse - absolutely gorgeous names.

mrsjuan · 04/01/2009 15:05

I know a family in which all 7(!) of the girls have names beginning with L.

squatchette · 04/01/2009 03:45

LOL no wish I was I'm in Lancashire(England).

duchesse · 04/01/2009 03:42

squatchette- are you in Canada?

misses Montreal

squatchette · 04/01/2009 03:41

I like all your choices I have a baby Talia it really suits her .It also sounds like my 4 year olds name Saskia although not intentional dd1's name doesn't sound like either though.My friend has an Isaac lovely name imo.

duchesse · 03/01/2009 21:54

Liffey- Benedict, Felicity, and Cecilia. (if only to reassure you it's not Ulfric, Theophilus or equally odd choices!)

purepurple · 02/01/2009 17:42

we picked names that we both liked, only realising afterwards that DS is named after my grandfather and DD is named after DH's grandmother. My sis has alphabetical names for her 2, Adam and Bethany but has said she is not going to complete the set

scorpio1 · 02/01/2009 17:38

mine seem to end in 'e' sound, all 3 of them. will follow suit for dc4

sasamax · 02/01/2009 17:37

...not sure why I used a capital A there...

sasamax · 02/01/2009 17:36

Mine are both named after Angels.

LiffeySaysHappyNewYear · 02/01/2009 13:37

Duchesse, early saints' names? that sounds intriguing. Lately I like Popes' names. Which surprises me as I'm not catholic.

What are your children's names? Can you say?

Squirdle · 02/01/2009 12:28

My 3 DS's have an A and an L in their names and are all 2 syllables! Not intentional, we just like the names and they go well together!

NorthernLurker · 02/01/2009 12:24

Mine are all Shakesperean names.

I like Talia and Isaac.

BuwchBywiog · 02/01/2009 12:20

both mine have welsh names with 4 letters and are named after a grandparent

MrsMattie · 01/01/2009 22:28

Yep, we seem to like 5 letter names, too.

gauly · 01/01/2009 22:26

Mine are all 5 letters with a double letter in - not intentionally. In fact I didn't even notice till a friend pointed it our.

More boys names that fit your pattern:
Aaron
Frank
Maxim
Harry
David
Edgar
Jacob
Oscar

winterblues · 30/12/2008 22:40

DC1 has 5 letters, dc2 has 4 letters and dc3 has three letters. So if I have a dc4 will have to call it Id

Eddas · 30/12/2008 22:36

poop

Eddas · 30/12/2008 22:35

I noticed that MIL's grandchildren are alphabetical(not sure how or when I worked this out)

Me/dh have a G and H
Bil/Sil have a B and C
Step SIl/bil have a K and L

Very odd. Shan't be telling anyone as i'll look like a nutter!
