Question

[barelyshocking.livejournal.com]

I've been a member of this community for a while, and I've noticed something that baffles me.

Some people worry that if they give two of their kids an A name, and the third kid a B name (for example), then the third kid will feel left out/unloved/awful.

I just don't get it! I think that you should name each child individually and not worry about whether or not it rhymes or matches with other names in the family. My name starts with A, my mum's name starts with S and my father and siblings have T names. I don't feel a thing! I've never thought "Hm why don't I have a T name" - it just seems so unimportant!

I respect that everyone has different opinions and ideas, which is why I'm bringing this up. Is it really that important?

ETA: I think I worded this a bit wrong. When I say you shouldn't worry about whether your children's names rhyme or not, I mean you shouldn't deliberately choose names that rhyme (think Cayden and Brayden). This drives me nuts. If you happen to like Cayden and Brayden, fine but if you're trying to create a rhyming sibset, why?
