Are Colin and Joel too obvious for sibling names?

I'm a huge fan of both Billy Joel and Phil Collins. :)

Ooh I like that as a sibset. And I love the 'meanings' behind them! :)

Both nice names, I think they'd make a cute sibset!
And I didn't even get the musical association until you mentioned it - I don't think it's too obvious.

Not obvious at all, and rather nice together. If you wouldn't have posted the association, I'd still be totally confused as to what was supposed to be "obvious" about the two. I think you're safe!

Same here. I would never have guessed.

I think two of Jon & Kate's sextuplets are named Joel and Collin. :)

But I like the names.

The first thing I thought of was Jon & Kate Plus 8. But I like both of those names.

I would never have made the connection, although I like both Billy Joel and Phil Collins. It's the same way that nobody ever gets the reason I spell Elliott with two sets of double letters, and Conor with none. But if I were to use Elliott it would be after Elliott Smith, and Conor would be after Conor Oberst (I swear I am not always emo... but they were[Elliott]/are[Conor] brilliant songwriters).

Not at all. I think they're awesome, alone or together.

No they go great together!!

I really don't think that they're too obvious. I didn't get it when I saw them, the first thing that jumped to my mind was Jon and Kate + 8. I thought that that's what was too obvious about it.
