HelpInteresting Sibset
I was just reading about this Australian surfing family on Buzzfeed (http://www.buzzfeed.com/simoncrerar/meet-the-coffeys-australias-kardashians) and their children have some interesting names...
Warning, if you don't like double first names, you won't like this..
Ellie-Jean 19
Holly-Sue 16
Jackson 18
Ruby-Lee 14
Bonnie-Lou 11
What do you think of these names? What do you think of the individual parts of each name and the way they've been doubled together? I think they all have a nice ring to them and flow well but.. ick. If they were just Ellie, Holly, Ruby and Bonnie I think it would be much nicer.

I don't know very much about Australia, but don't they sort of have their own kind of hillbilly cowboy culture there? I saw a movie once, set in some godforsaken scrub-desert part of the country where it was suuuuper cowboy-redneck-y. So I could see names like Bille-Sue and whatnot being used.

Yep.
I live and work in the middle of that area. They aren't all bad names or anything but there is a much higher incidence of names like Nevaeh, Lakeisha (on little blonde girls), Harleys etc. I recently met a baby Stevie-May, sister to Ashlee-Sue. I rarely encountered names like this living in the city. It makes it more interesting for a name nerd though!

In the US, you would be no more likely to meet a white Lakeisha than you would to meet a two-headed calf. Possible, but highly unlikely.
Ashley has been popular for a couple generations now, but Stevie has never really gained much ground, not even as a tomboy nickname for Stephanie. And double-barreled names haven't really been in fashion since around the forties and fifties, when Mary Ann, Jo Ellen, Betty Jean, and Linda Sue were in vogue.

The first names aren't so bad and the names aren't that bad individually, but way too cutesy for me en masse, and two of the sisters rhyme which makes it worse. At least it's not all of them! And at least Jackson escaped and didn't end up with Jackie-Boo. ;/
