[Opinions] Friends' BAs
I've been waiting for one last baby to be born to post this and now he's here. A lot of people I know have have babies recently so here are the announcements, parents are in parentheses:Keziah, sister to Christian (7) and Zachariah (1) {Mary and Frank}Kohen Allen, brother to Peyton [g] (1) {Hannah and Kaylan}Francesca Grace "Frankie", sister to Luca (3) {Briar and Kyle}Emelia, sister to Garrus (3) {Trudy and Ethan}Johnny Warren, brother to Jack (3) {Laura and Anthony}Summer Jayde {Hayley and Will}Freyja Primrose, sister to Arielle (4) {Caitlin and Codey}WDYT? I like Christian and Zachariah and I like Keziah, but together they're too matchy, particularly Zachariah and Keziah who are also close in age. I knew Peyton's brother would have a trendy name that I'd dislike (I never could get behind Cohen/Kohen/Koen) plus the double -n endings make life difficult. I know every single person on this board will disagree with me about Francesca but this is one of the worst BAs I've ever heard and what makes it worse was that I was expecting something grand after Luca. I don't at all like the way they've spelled Emelia but it's worlds better than Garrus. I find Jack and Johnny too close for brothers, I would have preferred to see Jack and Jonathan. Summer Jayde feels very "5 years ago" to me but it's okay, in fact it'd be my favourite out of these BAs. Again, I expected a decent name after Arielle and was sorely disappointed by the disjointed, ugly-sounding "Freyja Primrose".

This is slightly off topic, but why the big age gap between Christian and Zachariah? I've always wondered if there was a story behind big age gaps in siblings.Anyway, I adore Summer Jade (this spelling) and Francesca.

The big age gap was because Mary was 16 with Christian. I actually don't know if any of the 3 were planned =P

Freyja Primrose sucks seriously. Any combo with Primrose sucks.I like Summer, but Jade paired with it sounds cheap and tacky, and also like something in a Chinese restaurant.Jack and Johnny sound so hillbilly in the same family.Luca and Francesca go well together, sounding very Italian, but the other two don't even sound like they're related to them.

I like Freyja Primrose, mostly for Freyja with that spelling. I love Luca, but not liking the -ca in Francesca too. I love Frankie for a girl though. Calling children names derived from the same name irks me, so Johnny and Jack is a no. Emelia and Emilia bug me in general. Summer Jayde I find too wordy, and not in an original way either.

Hi !!!Mary and Frank have a kind of classic childset. But Keziah is quite out of place here. Keziah is nice! The others are boring.I suppose that Briar and Kyle have a bit of Italian ancestry to name their child Luca and Frsncesca. Anyway I love Briar and Grace as first names.I really like Trudy for a girl but I dislike the other names.I love Jack.Anyway... CONGRATULATION to all these parents and their families !!!!
