Sibling Names that don't "match"?

[AngelsInWinter]

Never even thought about this until I came on here! But now I'm paranoid that my third child's name is too different to my first two.

Think along the lines of

James
Alice

and

Willow

I haven't ruined their lives have I?!

I have three DC and DD's name is slightly mid-matched compared to her brothers - if you over think it.

I think it really doesn't matter. Hopefully!

Mis-matched

Aww, thanks (not sure why this thread is on here twice! )

I guess the kids will all have their own lives and families one day! Then it really won't matter :)

I don't think it matters one jot. In actual fact it's more interesting - I used to know siblings called Sharon and Heathcliff which I think are fabulously mismatched.

Haha! Love the description "fabulously mismatched".

I suppose it's just at the other end of the scale as, say... Jack, Jacob, Jenny etc.

I don't think it matters much. I have never heard of another child with DD's name, yet my DS is called James. Though one of the MW after he was born commented on him having a traditional name whilst DD is so unusual.

Rhubarb is right, Sharon and Heathcliff is glorious!

They'll spend most of their lives living independently of each other so it wouldn't bother me.

I know a Tom and Maximilian, (which must never be shortened, orders from his Mummy to school)

Not as good as Sharon and Heathcliff though.
