This is not meant to be bitchy at all because I LOVE that people do this (subconsciously maybe?). I think most of them haven’t realised or didn’t until a few years after naming their kids! So they’re not really contrived themey names, more coincidental. My own kids accidentally have musicals-related names.

I know siblings:

Fred and Barney (flintstones)
Ariel(la) and Sebastian (little mermaid)
Madeline and Margaret (Maddie and Maggie)
Matilda (Tilly) and Billy
Henry and Harriet (essentially the same name)

and mums and kids:
Ellie and Ollie
Ellie and Belle

I worked with an Anthony. His siblings were Bernard, Charles, David, Edgar, Frances and Georgina! I bet they were expecting Gerogina to be a George!

Not only may Frances have been a girl, but what are the chances of having 7 boys..?! That's incredibly unlikely.

My father is one of 7 boys.
