you and sibs

[wistfuljen.livejournal.com]

I am new to this community, so this has probably been done before but I am curious as to what YOUR names are, and the names of your siblings and how you feel about them?

I am the oldest of three sisters. We are all three years apart. We are, in order:

Jennifer Leigh

Cheryl Ann

Valerie Cecilia

I used to hate my name growing up, it's pretty plain but as names tend to do, it grew on me over my lifetime, haha. I have personally met hundreds of Jennifers and dozens of Jennifer Leighs over my lifetime (I will be 30 this year, GASP!) but I do like my name. I love Cheryl's name but feel blah about her middle name, and I ADORE Val's combo of Valerie Cecilia.

Oh, Cheryl and I also each have one son- she has Ethan Riley (9) and I have Holden James (7).

edit: I forgot to add that I chose Cheryl's name when I was two. My mom gave me the choice between Cheryl and Heidi for the first name.

I really like Valerie Cecilia, but Jennifer Leigh is kinda boring (not bad, though) and Cheryl isn't my style. I love Ann(e), but as a first name.

I am 21 and my name is Lindsay Rebecca. My brother is almost 24 and his name is Michael Paul. I am rather indifferent toward mine (I don't love it, but I don't hate it, either), but I absolutely love my brother's name. He generally goes by Mike, but I prefer the full version of Michael.

I love both of your names! Yours is gorgeous, I like the combo. I know Jennifer Leigh is boring. My mom swears she only knew one Jennifer growing up, she didn't know it would be EVERYWHERE the second she named me, haha. Same with my sister and Ethan.

We have the same middle name only different spelling, :)

I am the youngest of 4 ( our children )

Toby Wade ( Evan, Emily Rose, Ksandra Elise)

Tessa Danielle ( Hailey Maddison, Morgan Paige )

Timothy Michael

Tori Lee (Step daughter Mara Bean, Greysun Michael Wren, Alice Bella, Tyler Danger )


My name was the only planned T since my dad said I would feel left out if named something else..

[wistfuljen.livejournal.com]

Those are all cute. I know another kid with the middle name Danger (Hayden Danger).

Gary Paul- 14 yrs old-I like both though, Paul more. boht are family names

I like all the combos though even if i dont love the specific names that much.

Jennifer Neva
Emily Egan

I'm Jennifer. I love my middle name, Neva and plan to use it on my future daughter (if I have one). My grandmother's name was Neva Egan (Egan being her last name).

Personally, I like putting unique names with unique names (Jennifer and Emily are very plain and Neva and Egan are unique), but my mom didn't use crazy or creative spellings so I'm happy about that!

[wistfuljen.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! I love both of your names.

[taraemily.livejournal.com]

I'm Tara Emily and my brother is Rowan Matthew.

[taraemily.livejournal.com]

Oh and I love both of our names.

And I named my son Asher Riley.

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

I'm in the middle -
kids are in ()

Brian Allan (Alex Arthur)

Lori Anne

Stephanie Nicole (Johnathan Riley, Logan Delaney, Nicole Anne)

[danica.livejournal.com]

I'm a middle(ish) kid

Jason, Vashti, Todd, Me (Danica) Brodie,
Mom gave birth to boy girl boy girl boy.

I've always been jealous of Vashti's name. You have to have quite the personality to pull it off. I think her name did her justice.

[wistfuljen.livejournal.com]

Jason and Todd are a bit plain but I love Vashti, Danica and Brodie. Do you have middle names?

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

I'm Alison Sandra, my sister is Sarah Louise. I like both of our names. Our middle names are our grandmothers' names.

[wistfuljen.livejournal.com]

Very cute and classic! I love family names. My mom is Christine Adrienne, if I have another child (been trying for six years, not likely) I am considering Adrienne for a girl or Adrian for a boy. My husband and I also love the name Francis or Frances for a middle name for girl or boy (my grandfather, his father).

[subluxate]

Cynthia Cherie (half-sister, nn Cindy) (daughters Iyanna Marie, Cecilia Cherie)
KellyAnne Courtney (nn Kelly)
Catherine Elizabeth (nn Catie)
Nicholas Gary (nn Nick)
Matthew Joseph (nn Matt, but I always call him Matthew)

I love my siblings' names, Cindy's less so than the others, and Matthew's is probably my favorite. Catie's queenly name amuses me. I really am not a fan of my first name, and would change it to my middle name if I felt comfortable doing so.

[murderprotocol.livejournal.com]

I would have picked Heidi. But Cheryl is okay too. :)

I'm Kayla Dawn and my sister is Rachael Nicole. I like my name some days, hate it others. I'm not a huge fan of Rachael but I prefer that spelling to any other, and Nicole is one of my favourites.

[moshimoshi-13.livejournal.com]

My name is Sophie and my sister is Madeleine. Both our middle names are Massam. It's my mom's last name. I really like my name, and everyone tells me they could never imagine me with another name. I tend to agree with them. Madeleine really suits her name too, but I usually call her Melon and most people call her Maddy.

Melissa Ann
Maribeth Lauren
Kaitlyn Marie (me)

I used to be annoyed that I was the only K, but I actually like it now, especially since my mother named me after herself (Katherine Marie).

[sevensevenfour.livejournal.com]

Jessica Lea (Pronounced like Lee. She's 25. Her daughter's name is Annabelle Lea.)
Lindsey Renee' (Me)

I can't imagine my sister being named anything other than Jessica. I always call her Jess and she despises being called Jessie. My cousin (Brandon Lee - 32) calls her Jesh, but I don't know why. Haha.

I love my name. I always hated it growing up, but I totally think I'm a Lindsey. I'm pretty fond of my middle name, but I always feel detached from it. I don't know why, really. I just don't feel like it's part of my name for some reason.

[fleckerbug.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean. I love my middle name, but occasionally feel surprised that my middle name is Catherine and also that it's my mother's first name.

[charlotteattack.livejournal.com]

I'm the second oldest for four.

Claire Margaret
Charlotte Irene
Natalie Anne
Zachary Simon

I think all of our names have a nice flow to them.

[wistfuljen.livejournal.com]

Love them all, especially Natalie Anne.

[thursdayx.livejournal.com]

I'm Ashley Elizabeth & my brother is Eric John.

I don't mind my name, but I don't like the popularity of it.
I like my brother's name.

[slang-jockey.livejournal.com]

I like Jennifer Leigh, and Cecilia. Cheryl and Valerie aren't really my type of names-- especially since I knew someone with the name Valerie and she /totally/ ruined it for me.

My siblings and I, from oldest to youngest, are:

Catherine Elizabeth nn Cat ((me!)) --20

Charles Andrew nn Charlie or Chuck --18

Christine Lea ((embarrassingly enough, I'm not completely certain that 'Lea' is the correct spelling-- I think it is, but now that I see it written down, I'm not positive)) --16

Thomas Dean nn Tom, Tom-Tom, or Tommy ((Our parents ran out of 'C' names that they liked! xD)) --13

I generally like all of our names; Dean is actually on my list of favorite names. Charlie's first name is from my maternal grandfather, while Christine, Thomas, and I got our middle names from the rest of our grandparents.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

I'm Claire Maree and my brother is James Edward. Fairly ordinary I guess. I really like the name James, and I'm pretty happy with mine, but I'm not sure what my opinion of the name itself is- just that it suits me well enough.

[ollivander.livejournal.com]

I'm May Dawn and my sister is April Louise

No joke.

[yasue.livejournal.com]

Malorie Ina Nicole (Me)

Steven Kent (named after father, I hate that tradition)

Brenton Chandler (I really like his name, goes by Brent)

[twitchywoman.livejournal.com]

I am Alyssa Jeane (Jeane is for my grandmas Jean and Jeanette), I am 22.

My siblings are Amanda Mae "Mandee", she is 19 and Kevin Todd (our dad is Todd Kevin) and he is almost 15.

[nothingbuthp.livejournal.com]

I'm Meghan Marie--your typical boring early '90's name! Marie isn't filler, though! I have no siblings, which is kind of sad.

[fleckerbug.livejournal.com]

Pretty icon.

[aimeewins.livejournal.com]

I'm Aimee Marie, and I'm 19.
my brother is Steven Martin, and he's 15.
I don't mind either of our names, though they both seem a bit dated for our ages...

[dani2297.livejournal.com]

I'm Danielle Isabella
and my younger sister is Kayla Lois, named after my dad and granddad who both had the middle name Lois
Robert Lee (Bobby) is my older half brothers name..
I love my name and I can't imagine my sister or brother being named anything else either.

[jennifer.livejournal.com]

I'm also a Jennifer Leigh. My sister is Mallory Jo. (The Jo part after a friend of my dad's.)

When I was younger I wanted to change my name, because it was SO popular. I was originally going to be Alicia Ruth, but my mom looked at me and said, "She doesn't look like an Alicia."

If either of us had been a boy, we'd have been Adam Joseph, which I still like.

[sageharper.livejournal.com]

Sage Clair [22]
Richard Thomas [19]

In style terms he got the best name; historical, nn potential, uncommon in his peer group, really suits him. Total opposite of my given name, so yeah I'm a little bitter.
It's probably good and inevitable the names clash (though 'Sage & Rich' has a ring to it) as we're so diffrent as people.

My mn is after my cousin. His I chose for him, after the tank engine.

[fleckerbug.livejournal.com]

I think that is adorable that you chose Thomas after Thomas the Tank!! I like your name better than his. I dunno, I think Richard nowadays is cute, but if you're older than 5 it seems fuddy-duddy (like now it's cute, but then it was lame..?)

Your name is pretty, but I perhaps would not have paired the names together.. it sounds kinda like one word-- Sageclair. Sinclair. Eclair.
