Yesterday I met a mom who had 3 kids, and apparently was a fan of CSI because her kids were named Sarah, Catherine, and Warrick. Sarah and Catherine by themselves wouldn't have tipped me off, but Warrick on top of the other 2 character names? A bit much.

Do you know anyone or have you ever met anyone who had a theme like this in their family?

I had a religion teacher who had sons named Matthew, Mark, and John. But then he had a daughter so it messed up the gospel theme.

I don't watch that show, so I would never have known those were all characters. Interesting.

We seem to be in danger of collecting Lost characters, which is mine and DH's favorite show. Totally not on purpose, I swear! Our son's name is Benjamin, and two names we'd consider if having another boy would be Charles and Jack. Two names we'd consider if having a (second) girl would be Alexandra and Claire. We have Margaret picked for our first girl, which isn't Losty at least.

One of my co-workers has two daughters: Destiny and Trinity.

I know a family of 3 whose initials are all D.M.W. They all go by their middle names: [Diana] Michele, [Dina] Meredith, and [David?] Monty. Meredith married Matt, and their children are Mallory, Meagan, and Molly.

My friend is the youngest of 5 and her mother (whose name is Anna Therese) reallllly loves the names Lee/Leah. Her kids are: Sandy Lee (male), Celeste Marie, Carrie Leah, Elise Gay, and Leah Frances (my friend).

Mary? She had a gospel, right?

a girl i'm friends with on another journaling site's last name is green, her name is emerald, and she has a sister kelly and a brother hunter.

lol i would never do that, but i like all of the names separately and i think it was a cute theme.

[likeanunmadebed.livejournal.com]

No, the 4 books of the gospel were by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

[thellamaqueen.livejournal.com]

technically I think she did, but it isn't in the version of the Bible most people are familiar with.

[roseofjuly.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't have known if you hadn't told me because I don't watch CSI faithfully, and I actually like the names (including Warrick).

Closest thing anyone I know has to a name theme is using all Biblical names for their kids.

[thellamaqueen.livejournal.com]

lol that is one theme I could get behind. I like it.

then again, I plan to name my first daughter Clover Jade, if that explains anything. :P

[thellamaqueen.livejournal.com]

I used to go to church with a couple named Aaron and Erin - cute enough since they were married, it's not like anyone planned it... but then they had twins, a boy and a girl, and named them Aaron and Erin as well. Yikes!

[roseofjuly.livejournal.com]

I wonder what he named her -- he could've kept up the theme with Mary, even if she didn't technically have a Gospel, or named her after the deuterocanonical book Judith, or one of the old testament books named after women (Esther, Ruth). There are a lot of female Biblical names that are pretty too -- but I guess still not the Gospel theme, lol.

My family is fairly religious and so I have two aunts that named all of their children Biblical names. Aunt 1 named her three sons Joel, Joshua, and Jonah (also all Js, in case you didn't notice) and Aunt 2 named her children Seth, Josiah, Kenan, and Eden.

Lost uses popular names, so you can't help the theme - I love the names Charles, Alexandra and Claire.

[roseofjuly.livejournal.com]

With Kelly and Hunter it's sort of not automatically noticeable and more like an "OH! Haha!" moment than anything, but Emerald Green sort of smacks you in the face. I think I would've gone with Jade.

[likeanunmadebed.livejournal.com]

Oh, he named her Jessica. She was the 3rd kid and at the time he didn't even realize he had a trend going. So when the last son was born, he decided to somewhat complete the theme.

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I kinda dig it. I'd never DO that, because my family is so full of humorless people... but I would applaud, rather than tease, those kids.

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

At least it's not as bad as George Foreman.

[hoochiehoops.livejournal.com]

I agree. It's cute.

[hoochiehoops.livejournal.com]

I have a friend who's parents are Andrew & Andrea, and then another girl I know has parents Francis & Francis.

[morningapproach.livejournal.com]

in the new bible. But I recall reading in a historical text that there was a Gospel of Mary that was in the bible until it was taken out by the vatican for being Heresy sometime in the 12th century :)

[likeanunmadebed.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. Kinda bad for me to be in a catholic high school and not know what to classify things as years later.

[morningapproach.livejournal.com]

:D I just love vatican conspiracy theories.

[osbick-bird.livejournal.com]

They should have a Lady Heather next.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

He should have named her Lucy... feminine of Luke.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

Haha, Jade could be another one of their kids!

[ivegotbaggage.livejournal.com]

*sheds a tear for Warrick*

[ivegotbaggage.livejournal.com]

Also, my aunt has nine kids...

James (Jamie)
Katherine (Katie)
Jonathan (Jon)
Kelly
Joshua
Jason
Kimberly
Jarred
Joseph (JD)

Jamie married Kandy...
Jonathan (Jon)
Kelsey
Jarren

And Jamie's Jon was born just a few months before my aunt's JD was born, so he was born an uncle, and he's younger than his nephew!

[aimeewins.livejournal.com]

totally reminds me of the Amber Brown books. I think eventually she had a friend named Kelly Green too... and there was a joke about Kelly having a sibling named Olive. haha.

[rowan-belle.livejournal.com]

I have family friends with kids: Matthew, Mark, Luke and Jill.

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

Me too. My husband is nuts about the names Benjamin and Linus. It wouldn't be so bad if they weren't names from the same character. :\

I like Jack a lot, and I love Charlie but something about Charles rubs me the wrong way.

[ohhvelocitygirl.livejournal.com]

I know a heathcliff and catherinre

[ohhvelocitygirl.livejournal.com]

except minus the typos

I can't believe I can't think of many really, I'm sure I know some and just can't remember right now. I know a lot of families that stick with one first initial... I know a Matt, Mark, and Mamie, and I can't remember the kid's name but I know Mamie's child is an "M" also... then a John, Julie, Jennifer... I went to high school with a guy name Matt Matts (first,last). That seemed cruel to me. Also I had a friend named Jaime Joy Johnson and that's J overkill... recently I saw a birth announcement for a Luke Harrison Lastname, and the Star Wars reference was obvious to me but I don't think the kid will be plagued with ridicule over it.
