One brother is named after our grandfather and the other was named after my dads brother who died during childbirth in the early 60's...so yeah, old names. My sister has a not classic, old name, but my sister has a different mom from my brothers and I, so maybe that's why. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family/page/2#post-2044312 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 18:18:07 +0000 Shutterbug 2044312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both have pretty common, classic names. Mine was #20 the year I was born, and his was #11 the year he was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family/page/2#post-2044265 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 17:35:01 +0000 Anya 2044265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All classic </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family/page/2#post-2044261 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 17:32:27 +0000 MediaNaranja 2044261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brothers both have classic names. I'm pretty sure I share the same first name as @loveisstrange: and you can probably guess within a year or two when I was born :silly: </p> <p>We all have two middle names--the first is a classic middle name that comes from somewhere in my family tree (for example, mine is the first relative on my maternal grandfather's side to emigrate to the USA). We all have the same second middle name which is my mom's very Irish maiden name. I always have to clarify, though--lots of people think that I have a double/hyphenated last name. I don't! It's a double middle name :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family/page/2#post-2044260 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 17:32:20 +0000 illumina 2044260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I got a trendy/popular name but from the decade BEFORE I was born...so it def wasn't popular anymore by the time I had it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2044257 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 17:29:10 +0000 artsyfartsy 2044257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My older sister and I have unique names, although hers isn't as "out there" as mine. My little sister has a very normal name. Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2044255 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 17:28:18 +0000 LindsayLou 2044255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think our names work together, but are definitely different styles. My name was in the top 50 in the eighties, when I was born, and has done nothing but drop since then. One of my brothers has a very classic, but not overly used name. My other brother has the unusual distinction of having a name was once very rarely used as a boy name and is now a very popular girl name--top 10 for the past 15 years. He pulls it off, but it lends an interesting twist to the sibling name set. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2044246 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 17:22:55 +0000 loveisstrange 2044246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me and my brothers have very simple, classic-but-dated names. My parents were not creative.</p> <p>My name is pretty recognizable as one of those "80s" names, but not as common as Jennifer or Alison or Tiffany, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2044227 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 17:09:08 +0000 Mae 2044227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um... classic but dated? They are names that you definitely associate with a specific decade or two, but still have long histories. My brother's name was more popular than mine, but my name has been/stayed more popular over time because it is biblical and (I think?) still semi-popular in the Jewish community. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2044221 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 17:05:46 +0000 MsHangry 2044221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The "rules" for our names were-<br /> Had to be a word in the English language and not just a name<br /> Had to be a name and not just a word</p> <p>As it turns out they are all recognizable first names but we were the only ones in the whole elementary school with those names. My name got very popular in the early 2000s. </p> <p>Names that fit the rule but are not our names: Girls: Lily, Faith<br /> Boys: Grant... Harder for boy names </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2043579 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 12:05:49 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2043579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a top 5 trendy name that no one uses now. My sisters is more top 50 and still around there. My brothers is top 10 and still there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2043571 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 12:00:53 +0000 AmandaB8 2043571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a popular name<br /> My sister has a popular name (but my mom spelled it weird)<br /> My brother has a more classic name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2043550 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 11:54:26 +0000 Anagram 2043550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm one of 6 and all of our names are very classic/common English names...except my little sister. She got an 80/90's name! We have a Geoff and a Lisa and a Mary and a Jonathan and an Anne and....Marissa! It's so funny and odd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2043521 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 11:39:33 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2043521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a unique name. Three of my siblings have classic names and one has a trendy one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2043509 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 11:34:23 +0000 lawbee11 2043509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of our names were #1 the years we were born. My brother's is more classic, mine is more trendy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2043505 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 11:31:56 +0000 lamariniere 2043505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother has a very classic, common name. While mine has never been popular, it's also not strange. I think everyone knows at least one person with my name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2043504 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 11:31:40 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2043504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My name was Top 25 the year I was born - so common I hated it, but it's grown on me and I don't mind it now. I have always loved my sister's name, a classic and beautiful but not too common name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2043500 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 11:30:30 +0000 BelugaBean 2043500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say both of our names were classic and well known. My brother's was more popular than mine but mine wasn't unheard of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2043497 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 11:28:10 +0000 catlady 2043497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our names don't really go well at all! Mine was sort of trendy and peaked in the late 1970s. When I was born, it was already on the decline and in the 100s on the Social Security list. Nobody really uses my name for girls these days. My brother's name is old and traditional, and has been in the top 20 for something like 60 years now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2043375 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 10:29:05 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2043375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My name and my younger sister's name are pretty classic names and mine was very popular (along with a myriad of other versiins of it spelled with a k). My older sister and brother have uncommon, but not unheard of names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2043367 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 10:25:59 +0000 MamaBehr 2043367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My name is pretty normal, not too unique but I wasn't one of many in my classes growing up. My brother and sister's names rhyme and that always bothered me as a kid (not to mention I was the middle child, so I already had a complex hahaha)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2043360 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 10:20:40 +0000 prettylizy 2043360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both got pretty standard classic names. Mine you can probably guess from my user name, my sisters starts with A and was popular in the 80s </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2043352 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 10:16:57 +0000 MrsSCB 2043352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think our names match well -- both Irish to go with our Irish last names. Neither are super common, but mine is definitely more unique. I've never met a person with my name, but most people have heard of it before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2043351 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 10:16:54 +0000 stiletto_mom 2043351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got an underused name (not necessarily unique). My brother got a rather popular name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2043348 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 10:15:43 +0000 yin 2043348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 older sisters have American names, although not too common. My younger sister and I ended up with very Asian names that kids loved to make fun of. I wish I had an American name growing up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2043336 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 10:11:45 +0000 Ree723 2043336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All three of us have names that were in the top 5 for the years we were born! It never bothered my brother or I but my sister has always hated being 'First name + initial'. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-names-in-your-family#post-2043332 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 10:09:40 +0000 mediagirl 2043332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: hahahaha.

One funny thing - you can write his name with just your left hand on the keyboard and mine with just your right hand. :) </p>
