HelpRe: What is a "mismatched sibset"
in reply to a message by Ali Hassan
It's just a style thing and it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. If I heard siblings named Josephine and Jordan, I'd assume Jordan was a boy because Josephine is so classic and Jordan for a girl seems very trendy and modern. They just don't "go". But it doesn't really matter. And I think I'd rather have mismatched names than names that match too much (please stop naming your twins Jayden and Cayden, etc)
Allison and Clarissa go together to me. Harper, Ophelia and Violet do as well.
There are sometimes more obvious "mismatches". I was looking through a program for a school musical and the family of one of the actors had paid to have a message put in, and it was signed "Love Mom, Dad, Krista, Kyle, and Ryan." (And the actor had a K name as well. Ryan got left out!)
"than you will go to jail for kidnap."

I'll never forget ...
About twenty years ago there was a story on the news out of DC about a house fire in the city that left three grown sisters injured. So far as I know they all recovered. They were between the ages of say, 25 and 30, or thereabouts. I don't remember which sister was which age, but the three women were named Bertha, Mildred, and Sabrina.
Sabrina was definitely the odd name out there. Did the parents run out of grandmas to name after? Or what?

They sure did. So the parents used the name they really wanted to use.
