So i was reading an article in the Washington Post today about a family with "presidential" names. Apparently they named the first child and just kind of kept going..

What do you think?

Regan Nicole
Tyler Landmon Keith
Madison Elaine
Grant William Earl
McKinley Ann
Kennedy Kate
Harrison James

They are actually cool names seperately, but having them all in one family is such overkill!!

Harrison James is alright. Don't like the rest, especially McKinley and Kennedy Kate. Hate the K.K. initials, it sounds so harsh.

Seperatly they're fine names... but together... I'm not one for themes

Regan Nicole - Regan is beautiful, Nicole is boring
Tyler Landmon Keith - I hate all these names.
Madison Elaine- Madison is just too overused, I don't like Elaine
Grant William Earl- Earl? Please no.
McKinley Ann- I actually think McKinley is very pretty!! Ann, meh.
Kennedy Kate- Not so much. I don't think I'd want a nickname for a girl to be "Ken"
Harrison James- I don't like Harrison, James is alright, I guess?

I hate McKinley & I hate Kennedy, especially on a girls. I'd take them as all brothers, (barr madison) if we didn't have the middle names.
I wouldnt like to be Kennedy, named after the one who had the 'incident' lol

Well, they spelled Reagan wrong, for one thing. Regan is, I believe, one of the daughters in King Lear.

Personally, I'm not a fan. But I would dislike those first names even without the presidential association. I hate Madison as a girls name.

i agree i like the names... some of the middle names are a little boring, but who cares, middle names (imo) are just to have some to fall back on later in life if you dont like your first name, also it could be for a family name, or the parents creative expression... in other words, middle names dont really matter in the long run
