over the past 17 years i have been told many, many times my childrens names are odd. maybe someone can get an idea from my names:

harrington commonus alexander (harrington is my maiden name, and we call him harry)
callie courtney margaret maureen
morigan maurice daniel acton
cassius caius epimetheus
kaethe hallan
garren breckin

i think theyre great names. but thats just me! i know its not common to have more than one middle name but i like the way they all sound.

Wow, a Garren. That's one of my top 2 for a boy. I love the name. That's a lot of names, lol. How would you pronounce Kaethe? I like Harrington, Callie, Morigan, and Garren. The most unusual looking one to me would be Cassius Caius Epimetheus.

Wow, those are mouthfulls! :) I wouldn't call any of them weird...really, just original. In fact, only a couple of the middle names are names that I haven't heard of like Epimetheus and Commonus. But hey, they are middle names! So what if they are creative!

I had never really considered giving a child more than one middle name, but I have noticed it a few times on here. The only challenge I see with is that you run out of names you like on the first child and it makes naming your, say fourth child, more difficult. :)

Thanks for sharing!

Someone has already asked this, but how do you pronounce Kaethe? I know one who pronounces it just like 'cat,' but I was never really sure if this was actually the pronunciation or just a nickname.

Great names!

Harrington isn't very odd and neither is Cassius. I know a Harrington by the way. The names are very unique I must admit that and I am sure you have your reasons for naming your children these names. I have a Napoleon Demarco and a Jessiah Andre' Eugene I am currently pregnant and we are hoping for a girl I am really into powerful names and if the baby is a girl I really want to name her Nefertiti because she was one of the first powerful and independent women of all time. I know this is an unusual name but I am really into names that mean something or stand for something and I think you should continue to give your children names that will set them apart from the rest of the followers because they will definitely be leaders in their own.
