[Opinions] Re: Large sibset IRL
in reply to a message by Janan
I guess they repeated the same family names over and over? Why use Louise 3x and Angie 2x when your kids already have too many middle names?
I'm assuming/hoping that JJ isn't part of the last brother's legal name, but his full name is "Neil Tiny Ricky James John" and he's called JJ for the "James John" part. That one also looks like he was named after several different people, one of which was called 'Tiny Ricky'?
The whole thing looks like they had a ton of people they wanted to name their kids after, but they kept using the same people's names twice, so they wasted spots and/or added extra spots where there shouldn't have even been another name. If you actually have that many unique names you want to use for honoring, then fine, give each kid 3 middle names. But clearly you don't need all that room if you're only going to repeat the same name three times.
Best case scenario without losing any of the individual names:
Frazer Arthur Brian
Roxy Martha Jean
Mia Angie Patricia
Kiera Louise Kathryn
Neil Ricky James John 'JJ'
But that still leave JJ with one extra name.
If I was forced to name these kids while honoring all these assumed people:
Brian Arthur Frazer
Martha Jean Roxanna (or Roxanna Martha Jean, could be called 'Roxy')
Angel Mia Kathryn (or Angeline, Angela, Angelia, whatever full name for 'Angie'. Mia can come first if the older sister has Roxanna first instead of Martha.)
Kiera Louise Patricia (switched Kathryn and Patricia so this one didn't get stuck with two K's)
James Richard Neil 'Jamie'
(John is gone because Jean is already a form of John. Even if there were two people to honor who had the names Jean and John, Jean still does double duty. If you really need 'JJ for some reason... idk, "J" sounds like the first syllable of Jamie so JJ can be short for James in the same way that Lulu is short for names starting with Lu.)
