My roommate's girlfriend is at my house, and we happened to be watching TLC. 19 Kids and Counting just came on, and we started talking about how all the kids names all start with J. She mentioned that she knows a family who has four boys, named:

Tyler
Tyson
Taylor
Tanner

Wow. Just ... my mom mixes mine and my sister's names up all the time, and they're nothing alike! These parents must be so tongue-tied! 'Come here, Tay - Ty - Tan - Tyson!'

I work in a daycare, and three of my six boys start with N -- Noah, Nolan, and Nathan. I get tongue tied on them all the time! I don't know why you would voluntarily do that to your kids.

I would just call them all "T"

I mix up my kid's names and they're not anything alike. I avoided using my favorite names that are way too similar because I figured I'd mix them up even more than now. haha

I have three sisters and our names all begin with an A. It was my dad's idea. He has two sisters and their names all begin with a G. I will not be doing that to my children. :(

My parents did that with us sometimes (four girls all with the same initials) and stuck a number after it: "A1 and 2 in the front, A3 and 4 you get in the back seat." . To this day if I see something marked "A1" I think it's for me, haha!

I knew a family of all Ts, too!

Tabatha
Tania*
Tamara* (I think it's Tamara anyway... always Tammy)
Tiffany

*twins

Tab/Tabby, Tan (beginning of Tania, not rhyming with Dan... sometimes Tan-Tan), Tammy, and Tiff. Talk about confusing.

Sheena
Shauna

No lie

No idea how their parents kept their names straight.

Oh lord, that's worse than the family of "Sh" names I heard about! At least theirs weren't similar sounding like these are!
