babynamesMy Brother was watching an old episode of Wipeout yesterday and the Winners were from a large family with 10 children. 9 boys and a girl. Here are their names:
Courage
Liberty
Storm
One
Gentle
Now
Amina (f)
Vision
Pacific
Loyal
My dad's theory was that they picked the first word in the local newspaper for their sons. That seems a good a theory as any for this strange sib set.

That'd be confusing! And it'd be worse for One, I think.
I do like Storm and Liberty though, for girls.

Date: 2012-10-25 08:22 pm (UTC)We had a certain population of immigrants move to an area where I taught. I can't remember where they were from... I want to say Burma. I could be horribly wrong, though.
Anyway, all the children, not all related, that were born and named after their parents had immigrated had odd names. Our ESL teacher finally asked, and it was because the parents loved the sounds of some English words so much, they would name their children those words.
In our school we had July Twentyfour (boy - guess his birthday, I kid you not) and his brother Trillion, a girl named Theory, and another little boy named Marathon.
Any time you give children actual words for names, you best be prepared to reap what you sow. When I worked at a summer camp I had a child for 3 weeks named Tempest. After the first day, it was clear why her parents would pay for 3 straight weeks of camp - this little girl was doing every last thing in her power to live up to her name.
