Theme names for kids???

steff13914 · June 2010

So I was on FB, and I see this girl I went to high school with has 3 daughters...Chrysanthemum, Lily and Daisy. Hmmm? All I can say is WOW to the first name! I like Lily, though.

Would you ever name your children with a theme like that? I would not, but just for fun, here's my made up theme: Paisley, Argyle and Twill! LOL

*Judge*Judy* · June 2010

I have cousins named Mari, Teri, Sheri, and Lori. Poor Lori.

I would never...never...ever do this. Not even go Duggar style, which means Josephine is most likely out (my son is named Jack). I will also not be using the name Diane or Jill if we have a girl.

No, no, a thousand times no. For fun though - what about April, May and June?

I used to work in a daycare and one of the mothers took her name and mixed, removed, added some letters to all of her childerens names so that they were all a variation of hers.

I've seen flowers, cities, cars, letters. Its really not my style.

Hahaha! That would be wrong. Those kids would always get picked on! Ans so would Wednesday and Sunday!<<<saw that name spelled Sundai on America's Next Top Model. Ewww!

My step sister told us she was going to name her DD Paisley. No Joke. She ended up naming her Harlo in the end. Not sure if Paisley was a fake name or not.

No I would not do a theme. My friend Andrea is one of five girls starting with A's. She is planning on doing the same thing.

Blergh, that sucks. That reminds me of George Foreman, only more annoying.

I have to kind of admit that Chrysanthemum makes me a bit happy, but only because of the Spelling Test in Anne of Green Gables. E-mum.

jesselayne8 · June 2010

I cant even spell Chrysansanthethemumum. Poor girl!

Ricola · June 2010

No, I wouldn't name my kids after a theme. My SIL named her 3 boys after presidents...

But if I would, how about Spring and Autumn? Big Smile

jc51723 · June 2010

I would NEVER do that!! But a girl I work with was telling me about this family she knows....they have 3 girls. Here are the names, starting with the first born:

Bentley

Lexus

CAMRY!!!

How sad for little Camry! That child will probably have some serious self-esteem issues!

steff13914 · June 2010

Mrs*MichelleB:

Oh I have a neighbor family. Their children.

Ky (Kylee), Ty (Tyler), Sky (Skylar), and Bry (Bryden)..

My theme so far has been 6letters for a first name.

That's silly imo!

6 letter names aren't bad unless they all rhyme or something, then I'd say don't do that!

kje120 · June 2010

No way. And I'm also not a fan of when parents name all their kids with names starting with the same letter. My sister did it with my nieces, and while I like the names, I just think it's too cutesy.

Camry at least sounds like a name. It is in no way, shape, or form worse than Bentley. They should have gone with Porche if they were going to go with the ridiculousness though.

Oh no That's kind of sad! I can't stand the name Bentley!! That's a dog name imo.

They should have named her Mercedes instead of Camry. I had a waitress once named Camry. I figured she was concieved in the backseat of a camry.

a person i went to high school with has...

Autumn, Summer, Madelyn .. if I could only share their last name on here you would giggle more.. just think of something weather related that lots of places have in spring.

notkateanymore · June 2010

Well, we have a Lillie and even though it's not spelled like the flower, I've been asked a million times if we'll name the next girl Rose. Umm no.

I knew a family in hs that were all K's, including the parents and their dog. Kelly, Katie and Kristie plus the parents and Kookie the dog. LOL

To be fair, a person could use all those names and it not be for any presidents, just in hind sight. Those are very common names. Now, if they were Abraham, Woodrow, Ulysses, and Nixon (Nixxyn?) then there would be a weirdo...

MissLadyTay · June 2010

Hellz no. In fact, I can't stand families that name their kids with names starting with the same letter (seriously cannot watch a moment of that Duggar show for this reason). Part of how we have picked phantom baby names is that I have practiced writing out what our Christmas card will look like with the whole family written out.

Agreed! My husband's initials are DDD and so are his sister's and brother's!!! I cannot stand any of their middle names either! His oldest brother is WDD, but goes by his middle names starting with a D! I think naming them all the same first letter would get very confusing. And think about the confusion with teachers! The 3 boys still get confused with family friends.

kind of like that..

LadyXaverian · June 2010

I knew sisters named Ruby and Pearl. Amelia and Cecilia. I know a family where every sibling plus the dogs names start with the "Sh" sound. My husband and his siblings all have different names with no really connection, but all of their nicknames start with "B", for example: William is Bill. Apparently it was a complete coincidence lol.

Oh that's a good idea! I usually say it loud like I am introducing myself and my children. I'm gonna start writing it now!

::squee!:: Awesome. Summer Rain is a scent of douche. I am not even joking (no, I don't douche). Madelyn should be Mandolin for the song. I know it probably isn't rain but it is nice to dream!

hehe.. okay it starts with an S... and you have thunder with them or you could have a winter one too hehehe

katib77 · June 2010

Here is my dad's joke...he knows I've like for years the name Brianna for a girl but call her Bree. And my dad knows how much I love cheese. He said I should name my kids Bree, Colby & Jack. As long as I didn't use Munster. LOL.

But no I would never name my kids on a theme. DH & his sister & dad all have "J" names and I asked if he wanted to continue that. Thankfully, he said no!!

I guess to be fair, both of my parents names start with a J, my oldest sister's name starts with a J, and my other sister and I have J for a middle name. So I guess I should yell at my parents for doing it, too!

Chrysanthemum is the name of an adorable character in a Keven Henkes book I read to my student. She's a little mouse and it's a cute name for a little mouse in a book but not for a little girl, and I can't imagine how it would look one day on a resume. I do think Lily is really cute.

lol Too funny. I love cheese as much as the best person, but wow.

DH is a huge Cubs fan and likes the names Addison and Clark, after the streets Wrigley Field is located on. But I give that a big fat no!!

I am not a fan of theme names. However, DH seems very concerned about the initials in our phantom children's names. I like the names Parker and Peyton, however our last name starts with a P. DH says that they will be picked on with the initial "PP". I told him that I didn't think it would be that bad as long as we gave them different middle initials. What do you all think? Would it be mean for us to name a child with the initials PDP or PEP?

To me this is not that bad! I didn't see the correlation until you spelled it out, but I guess based on where you live everyone would know! I love the name Addison, btw.

lovelainie · June 2010

I went to school with a family of five kids: Misti, Thunder, Lightning, Windy (yes, actually spelled like that, ugh), and Dusty.

And three of my very favorite kiddos are theme named Dakota, Cheyenne, and Nevada. For some reason I don't hate those as much as the weather names... But still, the closest I'm going to come to 'theme' names is to use a family name as a middle name for each one of them.

PP is kind of bad. I can see jokes coming from that. Middle names in my opinion don't really matter because you don't really use your middle in school except at graduations!!
