Old friend I went to highschool with and her siblings names:

Angela 23
Jesse 20
Jamie 16
Joey 14
Aradia, 5
Zaria, 4
Sianna, 1


Joey might be a nn for Joseph but I've never heard him called anything other than Joey.

The first four names are boring, but okay. I kind of like Jesse. Jamie is probably on a girl here, but I like it on boys, especially as a nickname for James or Benjamin. They got a bit strange on the last three kids.

oops, sorry. Jamie is a boy.

Oh? That's excellent then.

I agree that the last 3 kids' names are certainly a departure from the first 4, but I do like Zaria! Jesse and Jamie are nice, too.

None of these names are really my style, but it kind of bothers me that they gave your friend "Angela" and then gave her 3 brothers J-names. I guess it's not as big a difference since they're boys, but still. And her little sisters' names are just... completely unappealing to me, to put it nicely.

yeah, they are matchy in a few ways. All boys are J names ending with the long E sound, and all the girls end with the letter A.

I agree with her little sisters' names... when I read them I was just kinda like, "...oh, really?"

It's almost like this list of names is a timeline of how these parents became more and more progressive with naming their kids. Not a bad thing, just funny how they went from Angela - probably the first page of a 1980s babyname book - to eventually Aradia and Sianna.

I love Zaria, I think it's such a pretty name!
