I was watching a documentary a while back on the ethics of having lots of children in modern times, and one the of the sib-sets fascinated me.

Calantha Carys ["Calli"]
Evander Charlie ["Evan"]
Adonis Caelum [no nickname]
Briseida Cade ["Bree"]
Deucalion Chace ["Leon" by the parents and "the Duke" by his siblings]
Zenovia Chloe ["Zenna"]

The Mother originally wanted to have all their first names starting with 'C' but the father talked her down to middle names instead.

I can't help but notice that their first initials are the first 5 letters of the alphabet (Adonis, Briseida, Calantha, Deucalion, Evander) - and then there's Zenovia. :P I noticed this before I noticed that all of their middle names started with C...

...oh wow, I only noticed when you pointed it out to me! I wonder if it was intentional? Poor Zenovia, she should have been a Fiona of something.

"the Duke" is hilarious!

I actually really like them all... Evander is a favorite of mine as it is and I really love Calantha and Zenovia. I don't like Chase, Caelum or Charlie (why not Charles?) but, still.

It really was quite funny. Whenever he'd get fussy the other kids would yell "The Duke demands food!" and the run away. lol kids.

I liked them all too, but it kinda bothers me that they spell it Chace, instead of Chase.

Maybe they initially wanted to go through the alphabet but they realized that 6 would be pushing it, so they decided to skip to the point and call it a day with a Z.

I am... only half joking.

haha, I had the same thought!

Interesting! They're all unique without being hideous; not an easy task to accomplish!

I wouldn't use any of these names, though.

I'm so happy to see Briseida being used! they are basically all greek/roman names.

I love Chace. I like Caelum.

i surprisingly like calantha "calli" :]

I didn't even realise each of their middle names started with C until you mentioned it!

[spaceandclouds.livejournal.com]

I love Evander. Briseida is interesting, too!

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

I actually like Zenovia--prefer it over Zenobia, in fact. Briseida and Calantha are interesting, too.

Love the nicknames for Deucalion!

Oh, Evander is one of my favorite boys names! I really like Calantha, too. I like this sibset overall.
