@catjac1975 DH quit laughing when he started doing it! (Guess he heard it often enough he thought that was their names.) My Great Grandma had the same affliction. It only got worse for her as the boys had more boys by the end she would have a LONG string of names to go through to get to the babies name. To her credit they where always recited in chronological order! LOL Darwin, Harvey, Earl, Fred, Hank, Randy, Bill, Gary, Dennis.

My wife's mother's cousin's last name is Piper, so naturally they had 11 kids with first names starting in "P" . The first child's name is Peter Piper. Then P ... etc. How fun to remember who is who ... :frow

I work in a school system, so I know someone named Phnx.

My real name is Robin, but after my grandmother had a stroke, she called me Arson. One sister became Aristotle, but I think Alison remained Alison. I guess she could recall the "A " best.

We got a phone call from our daughter saying that she couldn't breath last night so she whent to emergency to be checked out in the wee hours of the morning. After hours of tests she finally called again at noon ... she was told that one of the playmates decided to swing from the penthouse rafters and that she is now residing at the diaphram ( insted of the bladder ) causing daughter a hard time to breath. So now she will have to sleep on her recliner in a sittng position. :th
