Help[Opinions] Odd sibset, Alex, Axel and
Saw this sibset on the news:
Alex (13)
Axel (12)
Xela (11)
Lexa (10)
Xael (9)
Xeal (8)
Exla (5)
Leax (4)
Xale (2)
Elax (1)
Alxe (nb)
The family is Flemish. All the names are pronounceable in Dutch, although Xeal is a bit confusing. The parents said they're hoping to have 12 children in total.
Let's just say it isn't really my thing. They named Alex after a family member, then they had Axel and thus a theme was born...

Wow, they went this far, why stop at twelve, when they could go to sixteen? I love the dedication but I question their motives and priorities.

Wow! That is impressively eccentric yet unoriginal. I wonder why anagrams bring them such joy.

Yikes!

I guess it's good that most people in their adult lives won't know their siblings' names. Still horrendous.

Horrible.

Why? Wouldn’t some of the names be pronounced the same? I don’t know about Dutch, but Xael and Xale would be pronounced the same in English.
1
In Dutch you'd say KSAH-EL and KSAH-LƏ, so it's slightly less bad...

Huh, interesting. The only one I like in the slightest of this list is Alex.
1
Awful. Is there even another way to rearrange the same four letters? It’s so confusing.
1
Well, Alex sure did get lucky.

so if they do have one more... Laxe? Aelx? Exal?
Poor kids, even the ones with tolerable names must constantly be getting mixed up with each other.

Hi!!!
It is horrible.
For their whole lives those children will be not only mispronounced and teased but also confused.
I can imagine Xale's classmates saying 'oh, this is your brother Xeal" and she/him "no, it's my sister Lexa. And Xeal is actually a 'she' too". What a mess.
All these names are also genderless.

In another article I found about them after nr 10 was born, the mother even said she didn't use certain combinations bc she didn't want her kids to get teased...
The new addition was a girl, but there's indeed a reason I didn't list m/f behind them. I'm simply not sure about all of them.
