Either amongst you and your siblings or amongst your own children, are there any snappy trends in the way you’re named?

  For instance, a family gives all the children a first name that begins with the same letter —  Ryla, Roderick, Randall, Richard and Reneé

  Or all of the siblings have the same number of letters in their names — Jeanne, Samson, Denise, Walter, 
George, Lauren

  Or all of the girls in a whole generation share the great grandmother’s first name as their middle name — Jessica Arlene, Monique Arlene, Yvette Arlene, Ryla Arlene, Reneé Arlene, Susanne Arlene, Anna Arlene

  Or all of the names rhyme — Terrol, Carole, Sheryl, Farrel, Daryl, Errol, and Merril

  Or none of the boys are ever namesakes and strapped with Junior, or The Third, or The Fourth, etc [this is my family; in the past three or four generations, we’ve never namesaked and tacked Junior onto a boy’s name)
