Oddest sibling set you've come across

[IamaRevenant]

I recently met a Tiger and a Bob. Primary aged brothers, both lovely kids.

I also went to school with Claire and her brother Zephyr, and with sisters Beatrice, Georgiana, Victoria and...Cindy. Not short for anything, just Cindy.

Any sib sets you've come across that just don't seem to fit?

I know twins called silver and gold. Then a woman with 5 daughters 1-4 have names I've never heard of before very unusual number 5 has one of the top 10 names from her birth year

Teddy and Franklin.

Apparently unaware of the Roosevelts.

Robert and Patzi-Vera

names which are very similar- twins Ted and Tex (identical twins too with virtually the same name), Leah and Liam, Lucy and Lewis

Sarah, Caroline, Lucy and Presley-Anne

sisters Summer and Winter. Last name House

What’s random about Evan, Owen and Ieuan?

Also have a friend called krystina with a brother called Christian both called Chris!

The spellings, I’d say?

The first two are Anglicised, the third Welsh.

Ifan, Owain and Ieuan wouldn’t raise any eyebrows as a sibset.

I think that every time I see their names too!

🙈🙈🙈

I knew brothers in the 70s called Wayne and Edward, so different and they both kind of lived up to their names

Ah thanks. I live near the English border so Evan, Owen and Ieuan would be quite a normal sibset here where people seem to have quite a mix of welsh and anglicised welsh names

Irish siblings

Niamh, Nuala, Owain, Aisling and …… Jayvon?

In our village in the 70s we had siblings Claudette and Claudia.
They then had a boy and disappointingly they didn't call him Claude.

One of my sil's family has a Fiacra, Sadhbh, Donnacha and Amelie. I think it just sits oddly, but hey ho, their children to name.

The legend of Paul and Paula is the title of a film made in the GDR ca. 1974, which was censored for its hippieish vibes. After a book of same name by an East German author.

It was brought back into cinemas after 1990, and quite popular for a bit. I remember it fondly.

Andrew is a shite name for a royal too.

Next door neighbours with 4 boys, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John but not born in that order.

Through my work I came across twin brothers called Shayde and Shayden. The identical birthdate and near identical names caused them to be mistaken by someone doing admin as one person... confusion ensued!

I'm not a fan of matchy names, and particularly dislike the very common practice of giving all siblings the same initial. I mean, two is potentially a coincidence, but 3+ is a bit silly.

Having said that, many parents seem to ho for names with a similar vibe in terms of popularity/ length/ meaning, or nature/ traditional/ modern.

The combination that most surprised me has been two brothers called River and Simon.

I know another family with three children who have very popular, traditional, old-fashioned names, similar to Olivia, George and Florence. Then they called their fourth child Juniper.

I know of three siblings names with the same initial, same amount of letters and same sound at the end of their names. I would get so confused 😬

It’s the same name though

Oli, Molly, Holly and Chris

Melanie, Melissa and Marissa.

Melanie and Marissa not related to each other but both a half sibling to Melissa.

Was very confusing

Twins called Atlanta and Ocean.

I know sisters who are Lea and Leah

Mine! Eldest has an Arabic name, youngest has a name from Roman mythology.
