Okay, giving all your kids variants of the same name. I ran into a college semi-friend at a cafe this morning and she had her husband and their five kids with her. The kids' names?
Paula,
Paul, Pauly,
Pauline, and
PauletteWhat the heck? I honestly didn't think this sort of thing happened in real life. Apparently her husband's father passed away when he was a little boy, and he was called
Paul. So they named all their kids in his honor. It's sweet, yes, but...it's also weird. Very weird. I can't imagine a lot of people do this (didn't one celebrity name all his kids
George or something?), but WDYT? Is it sweet for his dad, or should they have just left it be at
Paula and maybe
Paul and gone with other names for the rest of their kids?
