At the hospital where I work, we recently welcomed a few new sets of twins plus one set of triplets.
B/B twins:
Alexander Cole &
Dimitrios Peter Dad is Greek. Not sure what they plan on calling
Dimitrios for short. :-/
B/B twins:
Amir Dion & Amari Dontae
No comment
B/B/G triplets: Zophia
Caroline &
Benjamin Worth &
Curtis Barrett I'm not sure how they are pronouncing the girl's fn (ZO-fee-ah or like
Sophia), but I find it funny that
Benjamin is baby B and
Curtis is baby C, but Zophia is baby A. :b I find the spelling of Zophia odd, and though I adore the name
Curtis (I'm partial, it's my nephew's name), it's a lot less common than the uber-popular
Benjamin. Same with Zophia, actually. :-/
B/G twins:
Maximus Isaac &
Dawson Isabella (brother -
Devin)
These two had the nurses talking! LOL. Everyone hated the name
Maximus. I have to admit that the namenerd in me wants to like it, but I just keep thinking 'Are they expecting this kid to grow up to be a Gladiator or a Transformer?' :b
Dawson for a girl is actually much worse, imo, though. :( The funny thing is, when the parents were asked about the names, they claimed that their 10 year old son named them, but when he came in and we asked him about this, he said he picked the MIDDLE names and that the whole family had input on the first names (and
Maximus was mainly Dad's idea). They tried to blame it on their kid! :-/
***One more thing:
My co-worker,
Melissa, and her husband,
Charles, are expecting their first child in January, a little girl they plan to name
Harper Annmarie. I believe the mn is a family name (or a combo of family names), and she said they debated on how to spell it (Ann-Marie or
Ann Marie, etc.). I kind of like
Harper, but it's a GP for me as I mostly very much dislike unisex names on girls. It's one of the only ones I can tolerate, actually. And even though we have tons of nurses at work with daughters named
Madison and
Mackenzie (it's scary, actually), most of them have been cringing (tactfully, lol) at
Harper. Go figure.
