Fake family
What are ur opinions on the following sibset an do the names fit the descriptions?Whitlee Bethanne (Whit)- 15yr old female. Most popular in her grade, athletic (better than most boys at all sports) gymnastics and cheerleading are her favorite, everybody's best friend.Lorenzo Francis (Zo)- 13yr old male. Older half of an identical twin. This kid is loud, boisterous, more and more in trouble at school and after school programs, acting out more than ever but blaming it on his twin.Maxwell Scott (Max)- 13yr old male. Younger half of identical twin. As a toddler/preschooler this kid was a hand full. Always had to watch him and had many disciplinary actions. Now as he is older has become quite the helper and is very calm and relaxed eventhough he finds himself taking the blame for most of his twins troubles.Isaac Roman (Izzy)- 9yr old male. Walks to the beat of a different drum. Kind of sticks to himself even in this big family but has a n extremely close bond with his mother. Noah Daniel- 5yr old male. The love of everybody's life. This kid came late and unexpected to the family but he is such a charmer that he is everyones favorite. Handsome, athletic, funny, and such a joy to be around.

They seem disjunct to me. I can see a gradual change of style though, so assuming this is for a story, that could be used with the parents' change of lifestyle/circumstances or something. Like they get more conservative and/or religious by the younger two. And Lorenzo seems out of left field, but it could be excused by being a family name. Zo and Izzy are a little contrived, though.Also it has nothing to do with the names, but I'd have a hard time believing that a girl who's better than most boys at all sports would only do gymnastics and especially cheerleading. That was me in school, and I did a ton of sports, but definitely no cheerleading... also in my experience, that makes you the opposite of popular. Unless that also can be an aspect of their story too. Maybe she only does those two sports from peer pressure to stay cool and popular and girly or something.

I have to agree, Lorenzo seems a bit out of place among the other classically named boys. Oliver (Ollie), Bennett (Ben), or Elias (Eli) would fit better to me. Also, I have a hrad time really seeing a boy named Isaac going by Izzy. To girly. And then with classic names boys, it makes Whitlee stand out a bit too. Even Whitney works better than Whitlee and then she could still go by Whit. But something like Elise (Ellie), Natalie (Nat), Emmeline (Emme), or Theresa (Tess)would be cute too.

Half of an identical twin? lol. I think you meant half of a set of twins.Anway, they all seem believable, with the exception of Lorenzo. Especially with the nickname Zo, which seems very artificial.

If she really loved Zo, she could maybe call him Zoel, that might go better.Though Zoel hardly needs a nick name.

I'd be surprised to meet a family with such normally named boys and such a bizarrely named daughter, especially if the girl was 15, rather than say 5.Lorenzo also seems a bit out of place. Noah, Max and Isaac all seem to fit together very well, I think Jacob, Caleb, Eli or Samuel would be more likely.
