Any of you used to watch that cooking show called "The Two Fat Ladies"?  Apparently one of the ladies names is really long.  Here it is:  Clarissa Theresa Philomena Aileen Mary Josephine Agnes Elsie Trilby Louise Esmerelda Dickson Wright.

Also I was reminded of Warren Beatty and Annette Bening's kids names the other day and thought their names were somewhat interesting, considering they all only seem to be named after Warren's side but not Annette's.
Kathlyn Elizabeth (Kathlyn is Warren's mother name)
Benjamin Maclean (Maclean is Warren's mother's maiden name)
Isabel Ira Ashley (Ira is Warren's father's name)
Ella Corrine (Corrine is Warren's mother's middle name)

And here are some sib sets I came across on some (MN) politicians websites:
Thor and Rolf
Nicolas, Eleanor and Conrad

Poor Thor has a lot to live up to.

That's amazing. I want to give my kids such long fantastical names..

Thor is great, I named something special Thor.

Is it your vibrator?

No, my boyfriends penis.
God of Thunder, I get weirdly turned on by thunder and lightning.

I've named all the important penis's in my life. There has also been Buzz Lightyear & Aslan.

Whenever a name is longer than 4 names, it just seems like a bunch of random names thrown together (like a group) instead of a person's name!
She has a lot of options if she doesn't like her first name though.

I know Ira is unisex, but it's a boy's name to me.

Nicolas, Eleanor & Conrad, that's so nice. And it isn't even my style ;)

How do you pronounce Corrine?

[nothingtolose19.livejournal.com]

Not sure for every case, of course, but I know a woman named this who pronounces it like 'Core-een'. I think I've also heard it pronounced like 'Core-in' (I suck at typing phonetically, in case you couldn't tell lol)

i generally like the beatty/bening names, although it irks me that all of them are named after him, but whatever.

so, i like all the names, in theory (ie: i strongly dislike the name benjamin, and kathlyn is odd to me, but i appreciate that theyre pretty classic)

i LOVE isabel ira ashley (even though i had to take a second look to make sure it was a girl, because ira and ashley are both male names to me)

also love ella corrine, although ella doesnt seem as timeless and classy as all the other names.
