Book related names

[http://users.livejournal.com/_xasphyxiax_/]

One of my favorite book of all times is called 'Flowers in the Attic' and some of you might have read it. I was just wondering what you thought of their sibset and what you think of sibsets starting with the same letter in general.
Their names were:

Christopher
Catherine Leigh, but everyone called her Cathy (on a side note I loooove the spelling of this name with a C not a K)
Carrie (twin)
Cory (twin)

Oh and I was also wondering what you thought of the name Lorraine (nn Ray) and Corrine (also in the book, the mother's name)

Thanks!

I adore Flowers in the Attic and the sequals written from it, also by Andrews. I am reading If There be Thorns At the moment, and love it.

I LOVE the names chosen in the book, though all the C's cause my speech problem when reading allowed, but still!

I also love Cathy's child's name, Jory. Julian. She calls him Jory. If you continue to read the series you'll understand the naming.

Beautiful names choices.

I am not fond of Lorriane, but Corrine is an older name I like a bit.

yay another fan of the book! I read If There Thorns and was starting to read Seeds Of Yesterday but I got too involved in the books that I couldn't get past the first two sentences of it. I got waaay too involved in the books and my husband took them away because I cried for like... hours after certain things happened and stuff, but it was because I love the books so darn much! Well, I'm sure I'll finish the series eventually.
Jory is a cute name and so is Julian but I don't like Bart and I looove Cindi/Cynthia but I'll stop myself before I give anything away ;)

lol, yes please do stop! LOL.

I am very into them, and my mum just glares at me. I even toyed around with changing a name I've had my heart set on for my child to include Jory. Very sad. I still think my youngest boy will be forever burdened with the nn Jory...

I'm excited to finish this one, and start the next one, but I'm reading them carefully. It's very rare I find an author who can write so many, and so FAST (in times of how fast the book moves) that captures my attention. I'm loving it!

Like I said I loved them too! I'm so glad to find someone that loves the books and is continuing them instead of kind of... being disgusted by them.

The ending of If There be Thorns is FABULOUS! Or at least I think so ;D

lol, now you have me reading. I'm just at the part where Chistopher confronts mother. Oh traumatic!

Yes yes, the lady who I co-teach with HATES them, says they are disgusting... but alas, to eacht heir own!

I know! People seem to have a thing against them but there's a reason they were best sellers!

Oh it gets waaaay better just wait it gets like... I can't explain it and I better not and leave the surprise up to you.

Add me! That way once you're done reading it we can discuss it and stuff!

[confusedanswers.livejournal.com]

Will do!

Added!

haha from what i remember of flowers in the attic, it isn't exactly a sibset i'd want to use as a sibset.

i like carrie and christopher is okay. i'm not a fan of cory and i like catherine better spelled kathryn or katherine.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_xasphyxiax_/]

I'd use it as a sibset if my husband liked the names. I understand why you wouldn't want to name your children Christopher and Catherine though lol... lets just leave it at that.

[p-inkjeans.livejournal.com]

hahaha, yeah, that just seems a little creepy to me. i mean, if you like the names, use them -- i just personally would never be able to because of that book.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_xasphyxiax_/]

Yeah I understand what you're saying lol. Me, on the other hand, would use them because of that book but I totally get you... most of my friends think the same way. One of my friends was thinking of naming her daughter Catherine and she just couldn't after she read the book so she named her Cathleen... we still call her Cathy though lol.

[p-inkjeans.livejournal.com]

LOL i could use then separately, but there's just something about using them TOGETHER that would bug me.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_xasphyxiax_/]

lol that was the problem with her, she already had two boys when Cathy was born, the eldest one (who was 7 at the time) was named Christopher and the other one (who was 3 at the time) was named Christian. She had another baby girl a year after Cathy was born and named her Candice. She had a thing for C names because her mother was named Camilla and she died when my friend was young so she wanted to honor her by naming all of her kids with the letter C. Now she is done having kids though... she always tells me "two is too much" and then laughs, she loves her kids but I can see how they might drive her crazy sometimes.

Its tragic that VC andrews died after writing the original Heaven book, Her kids who write under her name are ok, but dont do her justice.

It took me a long time to realize how Corrine is said, Core-rin. lol, but i think its a beautiful name, the others are really traditional and not ones i would pick. Jory on the other hand is a great name lol.

I've always heard it pronounced cor-INNE.

[silveroonmyst.livejournal.com]

ok, :) I was trying to think of how i would write the last part and rin just looked right :)

I always thought sibsets starting with the same letter was overrated.
I mean I wouldn't mind 2 kids in the same family with the first same letter but all of them including the mother is a little ridiculous in my opinion.

Also I don't like Lorraine but that could just be because I hated all the Lorraine's I ever knew.
Corrine on the other hand I like.

I agree about the same letter sibset thing. Growing up my best friend was Jenny who had a brother named Jesse and a sister named Julie.

My Fiance's brother and sister are named Debra and David but he is named Benjamin so that's fine. Two names with the same first letter is coincidental. Now his middle name is Daniel and if that were his first name it'd be a little much.
