Do you think it's necessary for your kid's names to "match"?

[Miaou]

Was thinking about this earlier as there was a poster the other day wanting a flower name for her second dd to go with her dd1's flower name. I thought ... hmmm, then realised that my kids' names "match" in the sense that they are all gaelic!

And I once knew a woman with three girls called Sharon, Tracy and Clarissa, which I thought was a little strange ...

However your siblings are only with you on a daily basis during your childhood, and for the most part of your life you will not be living with reference to them ... so how necessary is it really?

Just interested in your thoughts ...

Used to think it would be nice if they did sort of 'match'. DD has a Welsh name, DS doesn't - did try to think of one, but DH and I couldn't agree!!! Was a bit worried about it at first, but now it doesn't bother me at all, and DS's name suits him!!!!

Hazellnut - I went out with an Anthony and his sister was Anne. Did think it showed a severe lack of imagination on the part of his parents, though!!!!

We are not Polish (my dh's grandfather was) but have a Polish surname and so have given them Polish names.

Is that deeply deeply suspect moondog?

My boys' names got laughed at on one of the silly names threads I was gutted. I still like them though, so f*ck 'em.

Greeny what are they?

I love unusual names...

What's your email address? I'm not posting them on here for more wounding derision....

OOooh this will mean my list of email addresses that I want to have will almost be completed.. mwahahahahahahahahaaaaaa

Let hope I don't have to choose a third eh lockets!

I love Nell... (Thea and Saskia and Theo and Sophia match perfectly, they should so meet!!)

No Misty.
Sounds eminently reasonable.

I think choose names you like and forget anything else, it was years before I noticed that ds and dd2 had the male and female version of the same name one as a middle name though and their initals are the same but the other way rtound..in fact only noticed when they started getting post

GS,what a sensitive flower you are!
My ds's name (Aneirin) was the subject of a post along the linesof 'OMG,Idon't believe what my brother wants to call his son!'

It made me laugh!

Greensleeves, don't be offended! people are so funny about names. I bet they're lovely names

Thanks for your approval Moondog.

MM

Greeny's kids have lovely names!

And her name is lovely too... bit biased there though

At least we spell it differently... otherwise I'm afraid I would have had to have you killed

The names people choose for their kids invariably 'mean' one of the following..

gift of the sea
gift of God
chosen by God

Not mine!!

You can be my fwend A and A

my sons name means crooked nose

...The AA team eh greeny, eh? lol

Yes.... we can be a double-barrelled pain in the arse!! Think how much more efficient we would be at winding people up!!
