this is me procrastinating: the Kennedys

[laminy.livejournal.com]

I'm working on an American history take-home exam, ended up on RFK's Wiki page, and realized that he had a lot of children in his short life. 11 to be exact, though the youngest was born after RFK's assassination.

Kathleen Hartington
Joseph Patrick II (after RFK's older brother killed in WWII)
Robert Francis, Junior
David Anthony
Mary Courtney (goes by Courtney - has a daughter named Saoirse Roisin, which I love)
Michael LeMoyne
Mary Kerry (goes by Kerry, or M. Kerry)
Christopher George
Matthew Maxwell Taylor
Douglas Herriman
Rory Elizabeth

WDYT? Thoughts on giving children the same first name, if one or neither of them go by it?

What boy names go well with Winnifred? My husband and I like the name Rowan, but both agree that as a potential sibling-set, it's a little W-heavy.

Other boy names we like but aren't sold on:
-Quinton
-Amos
-Graeme



Additional question: how do you feel about the name Juno? Would it age well? Obviously there's the movie, but ignoring that, think of the name itself without that connection (if you can).
