Everyone always thought my parents were insane because they gave us all J names and our middle names all started with L. Of course Im not going to give you the full names but the first names of all of us (well my brother is thee exception his middle name started with E and that is what he went by was his middle name) so anyhow it was:

Jennifer
James
Julie
Jocelyn
and me Jessica

Really funny thing my mom had a long lost sister who my grandmother had put up for adoption. Im not sure why well because my grandma is long since passed away and never really shared any of this with my mom but I guess there was enough information my mother believed this woman was her sister and she found her back in like 1980 or 1981 or something. They actually lived within miles of each other too for a very long period of time and never knew about the other. My aunt I think only found out when her adopted mother died and told her she was adopted. Anyhow I think that is how the story went. I was very young and so alot of it was not shared with me. I think I was five at the time. Sooo anyhow the really weird funny thing is my aunt also named her children with the same starting letter only her letter was K so I have two female cousins:

Karen & Kelly.

LOL just thought that was kinda ironic.

So as you can imagine in my house when my mom or dad were frustrated with one of us and yelling for us it would be like this:

Jen....ju....joc....Jessica get your butt down here. LOL

So anyone else have parents crazy enough to name such a large family all with the same starting letter for first names? Or did you do this?

Oh another funny similarity is this:

When someone gets married the spouse almost always has the same first letter to their name or at least the same sounding letter. Examples:

my mom and dad-George & Geraldine
my husbands mom and dad- Rose and Robert
my husband and I- Johnny and Jessica
my sister and her husband- Gene & Jennifer
my other sister and her husband- Jeff and Julie
then my other sister - James and Jocelyn

(although Jennifer, Jocelyn and Julie all split up I think it is kinda funny) My daughter dated a Clayton and I joked with her that he was the one simply because her name is Crystal LOL
