Yeah, re: Karen and Kathy, my dh's SIL is Karen and her sister is Katherine (Kathy). I've also known a Jill and Julie in the same sibset. And I've even seen a few situations where one child's fn will take a different form in another child's mn or they'll have matching mns (Michelle and Michael -- after their father, Michael). None of these situations were obvious (to most of the population, anyway).

BTW, the woman in question has a very shiny, sparkly personality and maybe she thought the idea of matching names was just precious. Who knows?

I also know ...

A set of three sisters, about ages 35 to 45, named Sharon Ann, Diana Lynn and Holly Ann. Seems the only reason it wasn't a matching trio is because Diana Ann would sound so silly.

For some reason, I think it used to be common for people to slap Ann on as a middle name for each and every girl, although it's not like I have any statistics to back that up.

DF's aunts are Caryn Ann, Cynthia Ann, Christine Ann, and Cheryl Ann.

And then their brothers are John Joseph and David Gerard.
