Opinions, please

We have some friends who now have two daughters: Hannah Kathleen and Addison Rebecca.

They kept both names a SECRET until the birth announcements went out. When Hannah's came, I was totally unimpressed and kind of disappointed. I thought it was the most boring name EVER to have been such a big secret. I don't like Hannah OR Kathleen (though the little girl makes up for it she's so durn cute!). I LOVE the name Addison though, and I like Rebecca just fine, but I'm not sure they go together that well...all in all I thought Addison was more worthy of surprising everyone.

The names just don't "go together," IMO. I think that all siblings should have names of the same overall "type," like all classic names, all trendy names, etc. To me, Hannah and Addison just seem to clash, because it violates that last thought - Hannah is classic, and Addison trendy.

Oh well...to each their own, right?

I kind of agree with you, except that Hannah is so popular that they do go together n that sense--they're both "now" names.


But overall, mine will be similar types as well. I think. :)
