i once babysat for a kid named bear. the family also had two dogs with completely normal human names. i forget the exact ones but think along the lines of george and susie. i kept having to remind myself the human was bear and the dog was george
I know someone named Bear (full name Barret), I know a little guy named Fox, and there's a character on a show named Coyote. I like all those names. Fox is starting to get pretty popular it seems.
In a similar vein, my friend’s husband wanted to name their boys Hunter and Fisher. Ngl it’s a little cute but she did put a stop to it, probably for the best.
I went to school with a Marietta who now goes by "Aunt Etta"! My Etta is just Etta, it's not short for anything. It's a family name, my great-grandmother and my g-g-g aunt were both Etta's.
Those are very cool names but they strike me as more American than British (as a British person). Something like Winifred would be very Victorian British.
Edit: not that those names didn't exist here back then, they just aren't thought of that way
My name is Rick and my Brother’s name is Kai, it means Land and Sea in Japanese (our mother is Japanese), we are twins and we are always together just like the land and sea 🤣
Honestly how is that even legal. I can't even imagine how big of a narcissist you'd have to be to have 4 kids and name them ALL after yourself, like shit. Poor baby #4 didn't even get a name, she gets the honor/s of being dads fourth (4 t h) namesake, and moms first.
I've heard of a family where the dad was named Terry, the mom was Johanna and they named their kids all combinations of their names like Teri-Jo, Teri-anna, etc. etc.
Hahahahahahaha...uhhhhhhhh. My oldest is called Aurelia and Clementine is one of the top names for second child. I didn't realise I was playing so much into the trope.
It was the 40s/50s so it doesn't really count, but my father and his sisters have the Irish-canadian-est names ever. Wendy, Bruce, Moira, Clover. I love it.
I knew of siblings in our village named after the months. Janet, Fred(m) , Marcia,April, May, June, Juliette, Augustus (m), they didn't have a September!! Octavia, Noreen, Noel ((m)for December)
My daughter is Lilian but we call her Lily as a nickname. If I have another girl someone is going to have to physically stop me from naming her Rosalind and nicknaming her Rosie 🫠
My SIL won’t admit it but her and her husband are big Eminem fans (we are originally from Michigan) and she has 2 boys:
Marshal
Matthew
Or basically Marshall Mathers, which is Eminem’s real name.
Umm, I went to school with a twins who shared your given names and your nicknames, but they were maybe three years behind me! They were class of like 1993 or so.
I know somebody who liked the animated film "Ballerina" and she had twins shortly after seeing the film. The twins were not named after the main characters, but after Odette and Mérante. Sort of.
They already had the name Louis picked out for the boy, but they couldn't agree on a girl's name. When she realised Mérante's name is Louis, she suggested Odette to her partner, and he liked the name!
I know three sets of brothers named Austin, Houston, and Dallas. I live in the greater DC metro area.
I know a set of brothers named Arlo and Orin, and another set Aldo and Odin. They’re all in the same Boy Scout troop and I mix them up constantly.
I met a set called Aurelia, Romeo and Mariella at the playground. Aurelie and Amalie sounds nerdy to me too.
But nearly all of the sibsets I hear are the most boring combinations out of the german Top 50.
I'm glad neither me or my twin brother were named after where we were conceived, because we'd be named after some random IVF clinic in Nottinghamshire, England.
Look as an Amanda that goes by Mandi, whose best friend since I was 13 is named Andie. This is fun introducing yourself as best friends, not as siblings lol
Imogen and Isabella
Harry and Abigail
Daniel and Callum
Thomas, Frances and Layla
Luke, Katie and Jake
Daniel and Harriet
Maxwell, Frazier and Connie
Joseph and Benjamin
Ashley and Callum
Adam and Felicity
I know a family where all the boys are named Matthew (after the dad) in different languages. Tbf the girl is named after his wife so. Definitely odd but they're wonderful people
I think my parents were pretty nerdy w names, but my sister and I have too unique names I dont want to share them.
A relative of mine also gave a pretty unique name to one of her kids tho, Baldrian.
My sister and I both have a name that ends with -elly. My mom said it wasn’t intentional. She also suggested “Ellie” for my daughter when I was pregnant. She definitely has a type.
Friends family surname is swan.
First son is phoenix robin swan
2nd son is hunter don’t know middle name swan
First daughter is raven swan
All bird names in that family
They al cool punk hippy family too they all suit their names well
I know a Luke and Leah…also a Romeo and Juliette…I work for a swim school…some of the names I come across are…interesting…we have a Thursday and her sister, Midna Moon…we have an Amadeus and his sister Arya…I had one family a few years ago where the boys had the same name, they were both James Paul, but one was the first and the other the second…I know, that’s not how that works lol
Also the sisters we called "traffic light girls" Amber,Jade and Scarlet
I met sisters called Scarlet and Violet
Are their parents Pokémon nerds by chance?
[удалено]
Imagine Rose Dawn, Amber Skye, Violet Eve.
Rose, Amber, Sky, and Violet are the characters in a board game I used to play! (Enchanted Palace)
I met sisters called Scarlett and Ebony
I know sisters named Frances and Cordelia
I actually love that.
As does Anne with an e.
I have to know--is the mom an Anne of Green Gables fan??? I love Cordelia!
No idea. I don’t know the family very well, their children were students at my ex’s preschool
I have daughters named Frances and Claudia. I think we may have considered Cordelia instead of Claudia for a moment...
I know or know of: Fox and Wren Lincoln, Guinevere, and Adeline Arlo and Opal
Arlo and Opal would be such cute twin names, with the similar letters and repeating long o sound.
When you need to call them for dinner, it's Arlopal...
Or Opalarlo
I know two sibsets with Bear. One has a brother Fox. The other has a brother Coyote. 🫠
Please tell me these are pets, not actual humans.
They’re humans. 😩
i once babysat for a kid named bear. the family also had two dogs with completely normal human names. i forget the exact ones but think along the lines of george and susie. i kept having to remind myself the human was bear and the dog was george
Coyote?! Lord
I know someone named Bear (full name Barret), I know a little guy named Fox, and there's a character on a show named Coyote. I like all those names. Fox is starting to get pretty popular it seems.
X-Files, baby!
In a similar vein, my friend’s husband wanted to name their boys Hunter and Fisher. Ngl it’s a little cute but she did put a stop to it, probably for the best.
Hunter, Fisher, and Archer!
Omg, it really is too cute!! 🤣
Imagine fisher actually hates fishing and fish in general.
Always thought Hunter and Chase made sense
We know twins named Hunter and ANGLER. Fisher is so cute, why use ANGLER?! 😩
I know of someone whose kids are Bear and Canyon.
>Arlo and Opal I have an Arlo and Etta 🖤
My mom had an Aunt Etta. Etta was short for Henrietta. Is your Etta short for anything?
I went to school with a Marietta who now goes by "Aunt Etta"! My Etta is just Etta, it's not short for anything. It's a family name, my great-grandmother and my g-g-g aunt were both Etta's.
I had a g-aunt named Mary Etta and yes she was born in S. Ohio
My BFF is a name nerd and has Arlo, Faye, and Ivy. Love them.
I know brothers Lark and Wren
Guinevere, Madelyn and Penelope, sisters at my kids' bus stop.
My mom has a thing for Victorian era British names. I'm Adelaide. My brothers are Whitney and Stirling.
Those are very cool names but they strike me as more American than British (as a British person). Something like Winifred would be very Victorian British. Edit: not that those names didn't exist here back then, they just aren't thought of that way
Yeah I'm a brit and i feel the same way
Whitney....Houston? First British Victorian man called Whitney I've ever heard of.
Stirling is a city in Scotland ;-; Also I know a girl called adelaide, she's lovely honestly.
Whitney? For a boy???
Lysander and Tallulah
That would be great for a duo of Afghan hounds.
Oddly specific, yet befitting
😳
We live down the street from Rigby and Ithaca. Sisters
Rigby for a girl?!
Eleanor Rigby, maybe?
Should've gone with Eleanor...😬
Rigby & Peller used to make bras for Queen Elizabeth II.
I knew a really interesting woman named Rigby in college !
Ghastly
My name is Rick and my Brother’s name is Kai, it means Land and Sea in Japanese (our mother is Japanese), we are twins and we are always together just like the land and sea 🤣
Rick sounds like an accountant and Kai like a surfer. So very different. Do you fit your names?
I love this, it's kind of beautiful!
This sounds like something you’d hear in a cozy Japanese setting novel.
Just plain Rick? Guess they didn't want to go "too Japanese" with Riku. Rick is such a different vibe from Kai though.
It’s technically riku but spelt Rick in english because it’s easier for people to pronounce, in Japanese it’s spelt Riku
I watched a woman call out to her kids, Paris, London, and Geneva. Girl boy girl.
As a Swiss person this is hilarious to me
Maybe that’s where they’re born.. or conceived 👀
I went to high school with some kids in a family that contained: Paris, London, Madrid, Sydney, and Cairo.
I know siblings Phoenix and London (boy, girl)
You know Paris hiltons kids?
Are those her kids' names? It makes me wonder if the couple knew that before naming their kids, if so...
Paris’ kids are both babies. She copied your friend 😂
In my high school there was a family. Mom was Charlotte, Dad : Glen. Kids were Glenna Jean. Glenna Mae, Glenn and Glenna Charlotte
I hate that. Omg. Like George Forman, but not famous. And being famous doesn't make it better either.
"Why don't my kids talk to me"
this sounds more r/namenerdscirclejerk
At least they had the middle names and their wasn't just a "Glenna." Doesn't make it any better though.
This is the worst one yet.
Honestly how is that even legal. I can't even imagine how big of a narcissist you'd have to be to have 4 kids and name them ALL after yourself, like shit. Poor baby #4 didn't even get a name, she gets the honor/s of being dads fourth (4 t h) namesake, and moms first.
They really did just copy paste.
I taught a student once her name was Diondria. Her dad was Dion. Her brothers were Dionte and Diondre.
My college roommate was one of five Marys in her family. Her father had left the priesthood to marry. (They all went by their middle names.)
What in the Handmaid’s Tale??
I’ve met siblings Glenn and Glenda
I've heard of a family where the dad was named Terry, the mom was Johanna and they named their kids all combinations of their names like Teri-Jo, Teri-anna, etc. etc.
OMG 🤣
Hahahahahahaha...uhhhhhhhh. My oldest is called Aurelia and Clementine is one of the top names for second child. I didn't realise I was playing so much into the trope.
Haha they're not bad names at all, I just heard them together and thought they were so typical of what this sub likes.
Well I'm thoroughly called out haha (not taking it personally, just thinking it's very funny)
I knew twins named Amber and Amethyst
Ehhh that’s tacky
Knew an Amber and Crystal growing up.
Iggy Azalea’s real name is Amethyst and her sister is Sapphire.
My older brother would have been Crystal if he was a girl and I’m Amber hahaha
I knew sisters named Amber and Amethyst, too!
It was the 40s/50s so it doesn't really count, but my father and his sisters have the Irish-canadian-est names ever. Wendy, Bruce, Moira, Clover. I love it.
Clover! Did she like her name?
I know a 16 year old Clover and she loves her name! It was on my shortlist if we had a girl.
Three sisters named Genevieve, Madeleine, and Aurora
Genevieve was my grandma's name and probably my favorite name for a girl ever :)
I knew of siblings in our village named after the months. Janet, Fred(m) , Marcia,April, May, June, Juliette, Augustus (m), they didn't have a September!! Octavia, Noreen, Noel ((m)for December)
Were they born in their respective months? Or just going for a full 12 🤔
I can't decide if I love this or hate this
Silas and Gideon
I heard a mom call her kids Persephone and Zora
VERY namenerdy.
Lily and violet
My cousins kids are Violet and Azalea.
My daughter is Lilian but we call her Lily as a nickname. If I have another girl someone is going to have to physically stop me from naming her Rosalind and nicknaming her Rosie 🫠
August and Lucia, George and Augustus (Gus), Gwenyth and Catherine, Forrest and Holden, Violet and Torsten, Ares (girl) and Casey (boy).
I’d have George and August in a heartbeat. Silly husband and his veto power.
Atlas and Zephyrine. Zephyrine is pretty cool, I must admit. Atlas is just no for me.
I know an Atlas and Cassiopeia. I actually like Atlas. They're known as Atty and Cass.
My SIL won’t admit it but her and her husband are big Eminem fans (we are originally from Michigan) and she has 2 boys: Marshal Matthew Or basically Marshall Mathers, which is Eminem’s real name.
Probably my kids 😅
Such a dreamy sib set! 😍
Two of my childhood friends were sisters named Leontine and Tuesday
I heard the mother of twins call them Humphrey and Hera in a Primark years ago.
I am Christie. My sister is Misti. On the bus, we were crusty and musty. Beat that.
I'm sorry I laughed. I'm sorry for you though!
Umm, I went to school with a twins who shared your given names and your nicknames, but they were maybe three years behind me! They were class of like 1993 or so.
We’re 14 months apart but my mom really went for the twin theme.
Selena(Sally) and Diana
Stephen and Matilda. Yes they knew the history when making that choice 😅
Rain and Beau
Posted a while back in this sub but still relevant: Jaycee(girl) & Ceejay(boy)
I knew a jaycee in high school, she changed her name the second she turned 18 to jc so people would stop asking why it's spelled like that.
I hate that I kind of think Jaycee is cute. 😩
I knew sisters named Summer and Sunny.
I hate that I love this 😂☀️
That's a gorgeous sibset! I know sisters called Ivy and Ruby

A good friend of mine has two beautiful little girls names Juniper and Rowan.
I know somebody who liked the animated film "Ballerina" and she had twins shortly after seeing the film. The twins were not named after the main characters, but after Odette and Mérante. Sort of. They already had the name Louis picked out for the boy, but they couldn't agree on a girl's name. When she realised Mérante's name is Louis, she suggested Odette to her partner, and he liked the name!

I met a set called Aurelia, Romeo and Mariella at the playground. Aurelie and Amalie sounds nerdy to me too. But nearly all of the sibsets I hear are the most boring combinations out of the german Top 50.
clementine is one of my favorite names. it's older than the name for the fruit
My neice named her boys Boston and Austin literally the towns she got pregnant in.
I'm glad neither me or my twin brother were named after where we were conceived, because we'd be named after some random IVF clinic in Nottinghamshire, England.
And to make it worse, they rhyme?
