More on the subject of sibsets

So, you know Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have 2 kids together (and one from Will's previous marriage, Trey). They are Jaden and Willow. Named after their parents.

I think this is ridiculous, but people do it all the time! Can you think of some other examples?

Chris and Rose (my husbnd and I): Christina and Ross

I don't think it's a great trend to encourage, because it's like the gateway drug to creating names that are combinations of the parents names. I had a mini namebook that actually recommended that, with such horrible examples as "Dally" for David and Sally.

I do like tribute names when they are well done, and especially after grandparents. I don't have any IRL examples, but in my sims game I have done:

Lauren after grandmother Laura
Daniel after grandfather Dan
Nora after grandmother Eleanor
Hannah after mother Anna
Cathryn with that spelling in honor of grandmothers Cara and Taryn
