This theme was touched upon in another thread and I wanted to discuss it further.

What is the attraction to family J names? You rarely see any other family starting initial names...

I don't know. My family has a lot of them, but it's not on purpose. We currently have Joel, Josh, Jody, Jonathan and Jessica.

My former SO and his brothers all started with D, and his kids had all Br- names. Brian, Bridgette & Brenda. I thought it was kind of silly. With the first 2 it's one thing, because they were just names that they liked. He told me that with the 3rd, they really had to stretch to come up with a Br- name that they could live with, but they felt like they had to continue what they'd started. Wouldn't it be so much easier just to pick a name that they'd actually llked, rather than feeling obligated to stick with the trend?

Do you know any men on WIC?

Yes. He holds benefits for his youngest son (as the older two have aged out of the WIC program.)

My aunt named all her kids with H names.

We have some friends whose kids all have A names.

The first two was just a coincidence but when they had their third they felt that since the first two were A's they had to use an A name for her.

I just posted that we know a family that did that. Since the first two started with A, they felt they had to continue it with the third.

Oh that reminds me I did know a family with all A names. Well, four kids with two different fathers and they were all A names. Then the mother married a third guy and they had a son, and he wanted a Jr. so that child had a J name like his dad.

That's the thing with naming patterns. Don't divorce and remarry, it could screw up your plans if the new spouse doesn't fall in line.

We have a bit of a pattern in our family. We all have names that end with the E sound (ie and y). It was purely coincidental.
