Hey all, there's a story in the London Metro this morning that made me think of you. A family of 13 siblings are all being baptised in the same ceremony this weekend, and their names are:

Kelsey (f) Shannon (f) Keavy (f) Tyler (m) Adam (m) Ryan (m) Franky (m) Leo (m) Kaydn (m) madison (f) Cody (m) Keenan (m) and Laura (f)

WDYT?

Well I'm not a fan of any of the names , but It's refreshing not to see a sibset of stupid rhyming names, or names that are all the same letter.

I've started to really like the name Leo...but I don't know if I could name my kid that unless it was just Leo, not short for anything...who knows?

I think Leo works fine on its own, fwiw.

i know the story was in the paper but do you have an idea as to how Keavy is pronounced?

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

Mostly fine names. I particularly like Leo, Adam, Keenan, and Laura. Kaydn is... random (and awful). And what the heck is Keavy?

Keavy is a legit, though rare, girl name with Celtic origins.

Confirmed by Namipedia, though their only information on it is that Irish pop group B*Witched (who I had totally had a cassette of when I was 12) had a member named Keavy. I guess that teaches me to jump to conclusions. I still don't really like it... it sounds too much like "skeevy," i.e. shifty, sleavy, creepy. But at least it is a real name.

I like Kelsey, Adam, Ryan, and Keenan. Hate Leo and Franky, don't even understand WTF is up with Keavy, and am meh about the others.

I like Laura and Ryan.

Kaydn???

Wow, that's such a mixed bag. There are some really classic names in there and some trendy ones.

I love Adam - one of my favorite boy's names - and I like Leo, too. I really dislike the names Madison and Kaydn/Cayden/Kayden whatever and I dislike the spelling Keenan. The rest I'm just meh about.

I just think...I can't imagine a 35-year-old lawyer named Kaydn.
