Pom, Flore and Alexandre (yes I know they are the French spellings - think elephants)

Bad, bad, bad! Also as you never know how many children you might have or what sex they might be so your theme could go seriously wrong. Having said that my cousin has named her four children alphabetically (as in A, B, C and D) and it seems to work - they are all nice names though and individual in their own right. One of the things I dislike about that American family with millions of kids is that they are all "J"'s, somehow for me it makes them even more sausage factory like.

My great-aunts were Mary, Margaret and Dorothy, known to all as Polly, Molly and Dolly.

There was a family in my village with three dcs called Michael, Michelle and Michaela. Dad's name was Michael. No idea what the mum's was.

If I had my time again, I'd simply name all 3 SmallDragons "Child". Then I'd never get the wrong name.

Knew a brother & sister named Paul and Paula when was growing up - what were they thinking?

Also know twins called Nadine & Nadia and always have to think hard before getting the right name out.

And if they have a brother called Malcome, they can be like the Kennedys in Neighbours
