Most common sibling set names you know..

Does anyone else know or know of multiple sibling sets with the same same? I wonder if some names are more commonly paired.

Growing up I knew 4 sets of sisters called Sarah and Rebecca. The Sarah was the eldest sister every time, and all of them had no other siblings.

in current times I know 3 brother sets called Oscar and Harry.

I suppose these are all common popular names but plenty of other popular names I’ve never seen together.

Well you sound just lovely.

If you have kids, what fascinating and imaginative names do yours have?!

I was wondering how interesting your children’s names are as well!

When my dc were young there seemed to be so many sisters called Rachel and Rebecca. Not so sure about now, but I've found that girls with flower names are more likely to have a flower named sister. I've heard quite a few Lily's with a sister called Poppy or Daisy. In one family I know they have 3 dd's who all have flower names.

I know a few Jack and Lilys

So do I!

I knew someone who had a Lily and Grace back in the mid nineties. Then, those names were considered really unusual and old fashioned. How times have changed.

Samuel and Joshua. Two families in the same tiny village. 1 Samuel and both Joshuas are in the same school class (in a year of 10 children)

Harry and Freddie: one sibling pair, one pair of dogs!

Rosie and Jack... Jack and Rosie... Rosie and Jack. I know at least 5 sibling pairings in the age group (5 and under)
So basic and dull. Roll my eyes at the lack of imagination/personality of the parents. Poor kids.

Really! Often when I hear of parents who have ‘used their imagination’ I roll my eyes. Those are perfectly lovely names.
what are your DC called? Trigger and Falafel?

MissHoney85 · 09/09/2023 07:24

Harry and Freddie, had about three of these in a primary school I taught in.
