Today's Topic: Good Sibling Names
Instead of kvetching about really heinous baby name choices for siblings, I'm going to give examples of good, acceptable, and sometimes downright GENIUS sibling sets. Please note that all of these are taken from real life friends and acquaintances of the Drummer. If you see your sibling names here, you're welcome. If you don't, well, I'm sorry...again.
Drew and Clay (m,m)*
Grace and Clare (f,f)
Simon and Julia (m, f)
Henry and Gracie (m, f)
Elijah and Isaac (m, m)
Carter and Max (m, m)
Hope and Kate (f, f)
* I shouldn't have to indicate gender with this little parenthetical---but sadly I do.
If YOU have an example of good sibling set names from your real world, let's hear them. If you just can't RESIST sharing news of appalling sib set names...well...far be it from me to stop you from posting those as well!!

The Dada Drummer is sweet, but she isn't thoughtful enough to put their names their because you were reading it--just ask some of her other real world friends (insert apology here).
I just dig the names.

Orbiwx and Ikebntu
Good match-
Adelaide and Bernadette (f,f--I would hope that would go without saying)
Sister names at my church that don't go together:
Schyler and Anastasia
I always thought my sister and I's names went well together:

Naming #1 was easy. Devoted to my grandfather, I knew I'd name my son after him. And by my sheer will I made sure everyone else in my family had girls lest they steal the name. (Don't ask me how I did that... just fear me because I could.)
#2's name was much, much harder. I always felt #1 was such a good name that I couldn't give #2 the shortshrift. Hubby Magnus Patris wanted 'Steve' for #2. But Steve was our cat, and I just new that in future years #1 would say "They named me after great grandpa... they named you after the CAT".
