I joined the bowling team at my college and am slowly working toward learning everyone's names.
I learned the names of a set of twins on the team today.
Stefan and
Garrett
It's kind of neat to see twin names that aren't horribly alike, and I'm not huge on matching sibsets in general, so it doesn't bother me, but I thought you guys might like to see it.
Other names on the team:
Girls:
LeslieRachelKorinda "
Kari" (guessing on spelling of full name, nn prn like
Carrie)
Carlee
OliviaBrittney
Boys:
GregWilliamJoles (yes, that's the right spelling. I don't think it's a nickname, but it might be)
LeeEricChrisCharles Markees (I think that's how his mn is spelled, see the bit below)
AlexTony
Charles' girlfriend is pregnant, and she was talking about names with Carlee yesterday as well. The name for the girl is picked out (Aleigha
Marie. I'm not SURE if that's how they're spelling it, she had it written out, but it was upside down when I looked at it. I did manage to ask why
Marie, and that's her [the mom's, I think her FN is
Lauren, but I'm not sure] middle name). For a boy, they seem to be considering
Caleb, but she doesn't "like how it looks". Carlee, who thought [until I told her otherwise] that no one else spells their name like she does, suggested that she spell it differently and
Lauren wrote down
Kaleb, and said that looked weird too. And then
Charles came by and said
Kaleb is "the girl spelling".
Anyway, the boy's middle name will be Markees, for the same reason the girl's is
Marie.
