When I was a kid, I read a book called Ten Kids, No Pets by the same author who wrote the Babysitter's Club series, and I can't seem to forget, for some bizarre reason, the names of the characters in it. The kids were named in alphabetically according to birth order; for the first kid, the mom picked the first name under A, for the second kid, the mom picked the second name under B, etc. etc, which sounded completely insane to me, even when I first read it.

Anyway, here are the names, nicknames in brackets. Most of them are terrible but a few are okay. What do you think?

Keegan is the name of their eleventh child, and Zsa Zsa is what they named their cat. I don't know. The family was deranged, if you ask me. I mean, WOODY? Poor fictitious kid.

I loved that book! And the sequel, which admittedly was kinda sucky.

I think I read that too! The naming method was demented.

I picked Calandra because it's the closest thing I've seen to my name!!!

I'm surprised I haven't heard of this book before since I had every BSC book...

Hannah is the only one I can tolerate. I *despise* the name Abigail.

I hate Abigail too, I don't understand why it's becoming so popular.
