 I was reading the local newspaper the other day about a woman who was talking about healthcare in the region - she was about to have her seventh child! The interesting thing? All of the children (I assume the pattern will continue onto baby #7) have been named in alphabetical order!

Anastacia
Beatrice
Cecilia
Dominic
Edward
Francis
G... 

What do you think about the alphabet pattern? I think it's a little over the top myself, but the sib names go really well together. If I had to guess, I reckon the baby will be called George if a boy, or Georgia/Genevieve if a girl.

If you were naming A-G yourself, what would you name? (I'll leave the sex to you!)

I'd have:
Asher
Benjamin
Caitlin
Dominic
Evan
Francesca
Georgia

As to the other question, I think going alphabetically is pretty hokey (although I guess it's the naming equivalent to school uniforms--just makes things simpler). On top of that, unless you have a lot of damned kids, there are going to be really great names later in the alphabet that you'll never get to use, R's, S's, V's...

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

I loove their names. I don't even mind the pattern because its not THAT obvious. Mine would be

Asher
Beatrice
Catherine
Dominic (nn Nico 100% of the time)
Eleanor
Finn
Gabriel (sometimes Gabe)

[inmeggsyoutrust.livejournal.com]

it reminds me of that book i read as a kid, i can't remember the name of the book, but all the kids were named alphabetically but the mom used, like the first A name, second B name, and so on and so forth. there were like twelve or so kids in the family.

all i remember were Abigail and Bainbridge...

I agree, it's a little over the top, but I like it better than most other theme names =)

Bronmai/Bram
Carson/Collen
Dagmar/Dominic
Emily/Eli
Florence/Finian

(I wouldn't use Grant, but it's the only remotely likeable boy's name with a G I can think of right now)

OMGAD i LOVED that book. i must have borrowed it like a thousand times from the library. i think their names were:

Abigail
Bainbridge
C
D
E
Faustine (?)
Gardiner (?)
Hannah
Ira
Jan
Kelly/Keegan (it was their unborn sibling)

my memory is failing me, but some of the names were pretty unforunate. :(

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

Annabelle/Asher (love that too!)
Bridget/Brennan
Catherine/Corbin
Daylia/Declen
Eden/Ethan
Faith/Finn
Gabrielle/Gabriel

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

That should be Declan, rather

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

Calandra "Candy"
Dagwood "Woody"
Eberhard "Hardy"
Gardenia "Dinnie"
and Jan was short for Janthina.

The cat was named Zsa Zsa, and WHY DO I REMEMBER ALL THAT, I HAVEN'T READ THAT BOOK IN FIFTEEN YEARS!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_toasterhead/]

LOL cos the book ROCKS. :D thanks for reminding me of the names.

[x-cherrydarling.livejournal.com]

April Alexandra/Andrew Braden
Bridget Frances/Beckett Richard
Claire Esther/Conor Paul
Daisy Olivia/Darren Jonah
Elsa Renee/Edward Ellis
Faye Lucille/Fenway Kingston
Georgia Eve/Grady Cohen

Some of them are a little...interesting, I know.

I feel like I should explain Fenway in particular; I'm a huge Red Sox fan and I love the nickname Finn, but I couldn't decide between Finley and Finlay, so I chose Fenway instead.

Go sox!

Avery

Avery, Beck, Cohen and Gabriel are actually on my top favorites

[ugottafriend.livejournal.com]

Alphabetical naming is fine with me, as long as the names are acceptable and spelled correctly.

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

I have Bronte on my big list, too. Do you pn it BrontE or BrontA?

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

I've never read Harry Potter, but Bellatrix has really grown on me!

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

Yay for Beckett!!

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

I love Beck, Cohen, Delilah, and Gabriel!

[sageharper.livejournal.com]

Well with my accent it's somewhere in between lol. But like the writers anyway. :)

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

Agatha / Ansel
Beatrix / Bjorn
Claudia / Conrad
Diana / Darius
Elaine / Eamon
Flannery / Ferdinand
Ginevra / Gryphon

I realized after blinking at this for a bit that the problem is the G line, since BOTH could be Harry Potter tributes (they're not). But since my theoretical G kid would only be one, not both, I suppose it's not HP overkill and the choices stay.

thanks!!!

[inmeggsyoutrust.livejournal.com]

i'm so finding this book and re-reading it
