[Opinions] NBC Correspondent BA
Andrea Canning and her dh, Tony Bancroft, recently welcomed their FIFTH dd. Wow, can you imagine, lol? What fun!
They are:
Charlotte Brewster
Anna Katherine
Christina Margaret ("Kiki")
Georgia Rapalje
Elle Corbin
Overall, I think the parents did a great job. Elle is my least favorite because it just seems so short and incomplete next to her sisters' full names. My fave names are in order: Christina, Anna, Georgia, Charlotte and Elle. For combos, I'd have to say my fave overall is Christina Margaret which I briefly considered for my youngest. This was after she was born and I had some serious naming regrets. Christina would have honored my bff and Margaret would have honored my mother. I would have probably called her Christa. If I'd had a fourth dd, she probably would have been Christina Margaret. Anyway, I just thought it was interesting to see the combo I considered.
So WDYT of the sibset?

I like Charlotte Brewster an absurd amount. It's the perfect tomboy name.
Christina Margaret is also really nice - I especially love the use of Kiki. I love fluffy nickname like this: Kiki, Mimi, Gigi, Bibi, Dodie, etc. There is something so relaxed-chic about them. I prefer Kiki as a nickname for Katharine myself, but I suppose Christina works.
I also agree that Elle is a bit "meh" compared to her sisters. She should have had a longer name, like Kiki does.

I like Christina best too, but Kiki is so lame, like a seventies drag queen.
Charlotte and Anna are so bland white-bread classic they make no impression at all. Georgia sounds dowdy even though it's kind of trendy now. Elle is just a random trendy sound. The middle names are nothing special, though Rapalje is very strange; I'm assuming it's a family name.
