A pippin is some kind of apple.
So I guess they going for a fruit theme here.
I think they're nuts.

LOL
I thought they just lifted names from books (Mark Twain and LotR), and was wondering which book had a prominent character named Ella. In either case, she lucked out compared to her brothers.

It's hard to believe all these names are of real kids in a single preschool and their families.

This wouldn't be an unusual list in my specific town in the Deep South. You'd definitely throw in a few names that are culturally African-American but besides that, it would be pretty standard. Lots of children of academics. Go 10 minutes from here and you'd see something vastly different.

Not hard for me to believe. Browsing through the local elementary schools yearbook, I remember 2 boy Sky's and 1 Huck. I've met 2 boys named Granite recently and a little girl named Maple. At least they're not weirdly spelled.

It's not hard for me to believe. I guess it depends on where you live, though. I could probably produce a similar-looking list by browsing the directory of my kids' school (I'd have to leave all the foreign names out, though).

Nor me. I'd just assume the parents were into literature. I've met enough off-beat sibling sets.
