Sib-sets

[minga13.livejournal.com]

We talk a lot about the sib-sets we know, so what are the names + middle names of YOUR own sib-set? (Or the set of names of your children?) 

Any particular themes? Letters? Trends particular to the year of birth?

Names of my sib-set to start us off:

Dale Steven (1978), Brendan Charles (1983), Martyna Rozalia (me! 1987), Kirstyn Kim (1991), Zachary John (1992)

Btw, we're a blended family hence the similar ages and age gaps, therefore no particular themes I think :)

My sister is Koreen Marie (75) and I'm Kristina Elizabeth. No real "theme" there, except for the "K".

My sister had twins a month ago and their names are Heidi Elizabeth and Gretchen Elyse. <3 I love their names. :)

Samantha Courtney (1988), Bailey Nicole (1994), Morgan Alexandra (1995)

I'm definately a product of the eighties. There wasn't much of a theme going on, really, but I think all of our names go together well. I'm the only one to go by a nickname - 'Sam' - but my parents don't call me that.

I like that none of us have the same initialis and that our names do not end or begin with any common letters or sounds.

Bailey and Morgan are two of my favourite girls names. And Sam is one of my favourite boys names. lol

Jennifer Neva (1989) and Emily Egan (1981)

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

Neva Egan was my grandmother's name, so it fit well, which is how we got our middle names.

lol funny story. my siblings and i have very...interesting names, as far as when they are put next to one another.
Heather Aileen (35)
Amy Christine (31)
Timothy James (26)
Erin Kathleen (me, 22)

Note first that the middle names of all the girls rhyme: Aileen, Christine, Kathleen.
Note also that the first initials of the first names (in chronological order) spell out H-A-T-E.
My parents deny any conscious knowledge of either of these things and claim that they are purely coincidental. I still wonder, though...

Oh and now that my husband and I are expecting #2, we have been considering a couple of H-names but I had the realization that we would be an anagram of HATE once again. My husband is Andrew, I am Erin, and our son is Travis. But since we really like this one particular H-name right now, I am just going to pretend I didn't have this realization!

Haha, well at least you will be keeping up a family tradition. =P

Alison Sandra (1988)
Sarah Louise (1990)

No theme, other than our middle names being after our grandmothers.

If we had been boys, we would have been Alexander Andre and Paul Mark, or Alexander Mark and Paul Andre.

[1grlrvolution.livejournal.com]

Sarah Louise is one of my favorite names of all time, after the lovely Sarah Louise Bradshaw in "Jacob Have I Loved."

[babyjess8.livejournal.com]

Jessica Maree ('86)
Jamie Kenneth ('88)
Matthew Francis ('93)

Nothing overly special about our names except they are all popular (if you consider Jamie a variation of James).

Our middle names are for my mother and grandfathers.

[jesus--suburbia.livejournal.com]

I'm doing all my cousins too.
John Whittney (Whitt) and Elizabeth Leigh's (Liz) kids:
Lauren Whittney (1991)
Travis Leigh (1993)

Kristin Kay and Michael Jason's kids:
Jonathan Charles (1999)
Samuel Dean (2001)
Shane Michael (2006)

Corrine Marie (Cory) and Craig Franklin's kids:
Craig Franklin Jr (1998)
Colton Dean (Cole) (2000)

James Louis and Mary Erin's (Erin) kids:
Ember Marie (1989) <<<Me Anthony James (1991) Marie/Mary is on both sides, and my Dad hated Ember Mary, so it's Ember Marie. My brother has my dad's first name.

[minga13.livejournal.com]

Ember is such a funky name!

The 'C' theme in Corrine & Craig's family is similar to the 'R' theme my cousins have - Rose, Rory, Rebecca & Renée (none have middle names), their parents are Robert and Deborah :)

[monalyssasmile.livejournal.com]

My siblings and I are Alyssa Jeane (me, 1986), Amanda Mae "Mandee" (1989) and Kevin Todd (1993). Yeah I don't really notice a theme with us. Although I believe Alyssa and Amanda are VERY popular for sisters. I've heard of multiple sisters with these names, and also a Mary Kate and Ashley movie ;-)

My grandpa's siblings' first initials all spell AMEN. They are Arvin (I had to look him up on Ancestry.com though because I wasn't completely sure if it was Arvin or Arlo), Marlen, ElRoy and Norman.

[kitten-wrangler.livejournal.com]

My sister and I are dead boring, so I'll give you my Indonesian host family's names - in order of birth:

Arumsari
Bramantyas
Cakrabumi
Dewanto

Geddit? A-D. I was 'child' #5.. we jokingly changed the spelling of my name so that it began with an 'E'.

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Were you an exchange student? My sister's on exchange right now, but she's in Finland, so quite different from Indonesia. :P

[in_excelsis_dea.livejournal.com]

Jennifer Joyce (1986), Stacey Michelle* (1989), Alexander Carl Robert (1993), Gabrielle Amelia (1997), Guenther Stanislaus (1999), Lucy Michele* (2004), Chloe Grace Maria-Cecilia.

*means that they're my dad's other two kids, the others are all half-siblings from my mother. No real theme and we're spread out over nineteen years and ten months.

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

My siblings and my self.

Angelique Noel (me!) - 1988
Nicholas Tyler Lee - 1989
Alexandria Maria Elizabeth - 1993
Nicholas Gerard Joseph - 1994

:D

[djador.livejournal.com]

Why two Nicholas's?

[politicking.livejournal.com]

also a blended family :)

jennifer michelle (1985)
lawrence joseph (1988)
christopher brian (1989)
randy james (1990)

no big theme, i don't think. longer names, until randy.

my son is:
ryan james clark lastname

my next child will also have the clark in their name, as a second middle name. so that will be a theme.

[politicking.livejournal.com]

& with my cousins:

Michael James
John Ryan

theme- just named after family members.

Cameron Shane
Kylee Mae

theme- they wanted to have the C/K sound for both kids, but didn't want to spell it Cailee or something, hence Kylee. & the middle names are both after family.

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

Catherine Cory (1981), Kristen Elizabeth (1987), Caitlin Lee (1999). My family obvio likes names starting with the K sound and ending with N.

[djador.livejournal.com]

I like Trey as a nickname for a third. I also like Trip. =]

[djador.livejournal.com]

Robert Daniel (Danny)- 85
Megan Leanne - 88

Robert is a family name, it's my Dad's name and his Dad's name and so on. My Dad is Robert Alexander and he goes by Sandy (does that make sense..I don't think it does)

Leanne (my middle name) comes from my Mom's parents who are named Leonard and Anne. But I think that was maybe an accident and my parents realized later. lol.

Anyway, no, no particular themes or anything like that.

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

I'm Sarah Lesley, born 1987, and my sister is Shannan Leigh, born 1975. Big gap! I was a surprise, lol.

My mother claims they didn't realize we had the same initials until after I was born/named. (She's married now so we don't anymore.)


I would have been David Michael if I were a boy, and my sister would have been Shannon Lee, lol.

[nobodynomore.livejournal.com]

Herbert Jeremiah, 23 (goes by Jeremiah; Herbert is a family name); Matthias Jeffrey, 21
Aimee Michelle, 20 (ME!)
Alyssa Catherine, 12
Lauren Elizabeth, 10.

I never thought of Alyssa and Lauren as "trendy"; however, apparently they are.

[nearlyalegume.livejournal.com]

Amy Elizabeth (me) - 1984
Sally Louise - 1985
Mark Joseph - 1987

Let's do my cousins as well.

I'm an Amy Elizabeth as well :)

[sweet-caro1ine.livejournal.com]

Caroline Elizabeth (me)(1976)
Claire Louise (1981)
Alice Jane (1982)

No real theme, except for the little quirky fact that you can make the name Claire out of Caroline, and the name Alice out of Claire. Not intentionally done but none the less a nice little twist.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

I'm Kate Elizabeth, my sister is Joanna Eileen, and my half-brother is James [something]!
My dad's name starts with a K, and my mum's starts with a J, but it wasn't intentional giving us 'mathing' names!

[leeloofe.livejournal.com]

I'm Amy Lyn (77) and my sister is Beth Ann (80).

Obviously there are a ton of Amy's from the late 70's due to President Carter having a daughter named Amy, but my sister and I were named after the characters in Little Women.

[djador.livejournal.com]

I know sisters named Amy and Beth. =] They have a brother named Chad though.

[laurakirstine.livejournal.com]

Laura Kirstine, 23
Emily Elizabeth, 18

All of our middle names are family names. I love my middle name - it's Danish!

My cousins:
Adam Holden, 17
Thomas Garrett, 14

My mom and her siblings:
Janice Louise
Lorain Jean
Douglas John

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

[thejoysofjess.livejournal.com]

My brother is Daniel Allen. He was named after both of my grandfathers Daniel is the first name of my maternal and Allen is the middle name of my paternal.

[jazzyaimsaru.livejournal.com]
