I don't usually watch Super Nanny (I much prefer Nanny 911 which super nanny ripped off) But i had surprisingly little work to do last night so I gave it a try. The familys names were.
Mom: Melora
Dad: John
Son: Jared (6 or 7 maybe)
Twin Daughters: Ashlyn and Alaia (prn uh-ly-uh) (4)
I hate the cutsy twin thing, and Alaia sounds funny to me. Jared is alright.

I like Melora, Jared, and Ashlyn. Alaia sounds too much like someone saying "a liar" to me.

Actually, Super Nanny was 1st ,believe it or not...

ABC was producing "Super Nanny" and Fox caught wind of it and rushed "Nanny 911" into production.

Alaia sounds like someone from Massachusetts saying "A liar" to me.

haha

I am from RI but right next to massachusetts and I hear that accent all the time. Now I am living in maine and with theire accents saying Alia would sound more like A liar since they tack an r on the end of words.

I had heard Super Nanny was already airing in England.

I wonder if Wife Swap or Trading Spouses came first.

Both ABC shows were in development first, but FOX beat them on air!

I don't like any of these names except for Melora - it's different and kinda pretty. John is just too old and disgusting, Jared is completely ugly, Ashlyn is just dumb, and Alaia is too hard to pronounce.

I saw that one. Those twins were psychotic.
Jared and Alaia I actually don't mind as names. The Ashlyn is a little too cutesy for me.

Melor is interesting an John is a classic

Alaia and Melora are interesting. John is tired, Jared's trendy, and Ashlyn's icky.
