Message: "Kerry & Kelly" - Behind the Name

[Opinions] Kerry & Kelly

Two girls at my surf camp are named Kerry and Kelly. Their last name starts with a "K" as well. They're not twins, Kerry is older than Kelly but only by a year or two.

WDYT? I personally don't like the sibset. It's way too, well, similar and not imaginative at all.

It's okay. There are to many K's for my taste though. And I dislike the spelling of Kerry, I much prefer Keri or Carrie.

I agree so unimaginative. If they really wanted a daughter names Kerry they could have spelled it Carrie to make more unique so not both of their initials would be KK. I personally would get them mixed up because their names are so similar. There not even twins!

I don't care for either name individually, and they are definitely too similar to be a sibset.

On another note, growing up I knew 3 sisters named Koti, Keri, and Kali. That was a bit cutesy for my taste too.

Let's just hope their middle initial isn't K, that would be horrible! Imagine having an L.L.Bean backpack that said KKK!

I don't like Kerry, it seems dated to me, and I generally dislike K names. However, one exception to the rules is Kelly! Two of my cousins are named Kelly, and so I can see it on a 40 year old or a 5 year old (their ages). I really love Kelly.

However, not in this sibset. It's too matchy and, your right, totally unimaginative.

Kerry & Kelly are too similar imo for sisters. I love Kerry, but only spelled Carrie...it's a personal fave of mine :) I also love Kelly. But together, they're a bit too much for my taste.

Kerry and Kelly are too cutesy and overly similar as sister names.

A) I don't like the names on girls B) I like matchy twin names but sibsets should be different
