[Opinions] Most mismatched sibset you know?
Do you know any siblings whose names don’t match together at all?I know two sisters named Annabella and Joey. Maybe one parent named Bella and the other one named Joey? I honestly don’t know.

Here's a sibset of three sisters I used to know.Natalee, Emilee and Alissa.There's another one, but I can't seem to remember...
I think the spellings really let this one down....

William and Zoey. William is a classic name while Zoey is a modern trendy name.

Chelsea and Kaiden. Ultimate 80’s name and like, uber trendy 2000’s name.Reign and Violette. Super odd to me. Violet was always an old lady name to me, and then adding a more modern name like Reign was weird.I also knew a set of 8 siblings. I don’t remember all of them, but a few were Barbara, Cassandra, Natalie, Cheyenne, Timothy, Octavius. They were (are) from like maybe 20 on down to around 2-3.

My neighbors have four kids- Rachel (mid-20s), Tammi (late teens), Brooklyn (12 or 13), and John (8 or 9). Rachel was popular at the time of her birth, while Tammi was dated when she was born, Brooklyn was trendy I guess, and then John is classic. They don't go to me.Another one is two brothers, Jaydon (14 or 15) and Joseph 'Joey' (6 or 7). First they go for a creative spelling of a trendy name, and then a classic?Another trendy-dated mix, sisters Barbra-Ann 'Barbra' (16 or 17) and Madisyn (14 or 15). Barbra-Ann is dated, while Madisyn was uber trendy at the time.

Taylor and IsabelleI know sisters named Taylor and Isabelle.

Does the Isabelle go by Izzy? That would match up a little bit more. Otherwise I agree, completely different genres.

Family that lived next-door to me throughout childhood:Jaksen (f)
Arturo
JoshuaJaksen was a year older than me and who I hung out with regularly. Arturo was a couple years younger. And Joshua was born while Jaksen and I were in junior high.I always thought that none of them sounded related to each other.

I know of an Alayna and a Charles. Charles is so classic and Alayna seems like a spur of the moment kinda thing.

Caleb and Remi (g)I'm kind of used to it now, but I was definitely expecting Remi's name to be something more like Amelia or Sarah or Sophie!And my own sibset is kind of mismatched! Mara, Stefanie, and Abigail. A name that's never cracked the top 500, an alternate spelling of a name that was most common over a decade before she was born, and a name that was in the top 10 the year she was born XD

I can see what you mean about your set, but I really like it anyway. It seems like your parents named each kid for each kid, which is nice. I like all the names to varying degrees. Stefanie seems the odd one out, but it's actually pretty traditional and just seems to me initially like it's not because of its history of usage.

All these siblings are senior citizens. Barbara
Patricia
Harold Jr.
Richard
Jon (no h, but still ... very traditional)
and Ainslie (m)The story was that Ainslie was named after a friend of the family.

I knew some sisters with the last name Sweet.Honey Sweet, Summer Sweet and... Shaughnessy Sweet.I thought the cutesy word names were ridiculous, but to abandon it part way might have been even more so.

2 main ones come to mind. I used to look after 3 boys named:Thyrecce
Jermayne
And... CharlesThat family now has 4 more kids but I don't know their names. The other family is:Steele
Jessica
JohnnyThey're in their 30's. It's funny that these parents started off with an unusual name for their son but then went with such common names for the next two.

The first that popped into my head was a set of grade school aged siblings I know named Amy and Jadyn (not 100% certain on the spelling but I know it’s not Jayden). So the sister gets a traditional, but slightly dated name and the brother gets an alternative spelled trendy name? Huh?

My little cousins, both girls, are Sophie and Chase. I don't think they go together particularly well as one is traditional and the other is a typically-masculine surname.I know of a Gracie and a Caysen sister and brother. I think they're terribly mismatched.
