Parents with more than one child: do your kids' names follow a pattern?
It's most common with twins, but many parents choose to follow a pattern with their children's names. Think of the Duggars (all J names, one son uses all M names), the Kardashians (all K's), etcetera. Also, rhyming names/similar pronunciation names are somewhat pattern-like.

05/12/2018My husband and I both have middle names that start with E. He thought it would be fun to give our kids E middle names as well. Turns out there are lots of E names we both love, so it worked out great for us and the kids love sharing their middle initial with the rest of the fam.

05/11/2018One son has the same first letter as me, and the other has the same first letter as his dad's name. But our pattern goes farther- the boys' names both end in -as, which was unintentional! Their dad's ends in s too.
