Watching a rerun of Supernanny. The names of the children made me go "Bwah?"

Parents: Beverly and Eric
Emily, 11
Emmett, 9
Emma Jo, 7
Emerson (boy), 4
Ember (girl), 1 1/2

Why would you do that to yourself?! I've heard plenty of stories where parents trip over their kids' names when they aren't even remotely similar. I can't imagining purposely setting yourself for that.

Wow. Why would parents do that?

I like Emma Jo, but that kind of theme isn't healthy for anyone involved.

I actually like each of those names individually, but altogether as a sib-set, they sound mushy.

And here I was going to comment "well you know they can't use the nick name 'Em'". How wrong I am apparently!

I know a family in which the kids are named Marie, Maria, Marcos, Marina, Maricela and Marissa. Their last name begins in Mar as well.

I am not a fan of names like this.

I saw this one tonight too. Emerson cracked me up.

I like all of the names, but as a sib set it's a bit much. In my DH's family there are three Ds (father, son and uncle.) His Mom was always "Da, Du, De, WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS." I imagine there is a lot of that in their household.
