It may have been a few weeks since news broke about the Dutch couple with five kids, who all have four-letter names using the same four letters (Alex, Lexa, Axel, Xela & Xael), but it continues to remain at the forefront of my mind.
That said, it can get a little forced with an increased number of children. Below is just a selection of attempts at the conundrum by myself and those over at Formspring, with some combinations seeming to work better than others:
- Aidan: Nadia, Diana, Adian, Andia
- Alice: Celia, Lacie
- Amy: Mya, May
- Dolly: Lloyd, Dyoll, Doyll
- Eden: Dene, Ened, Nede, Need, Ende, Edne
- Enzo: Zeno, Nezo, Ezon, Onez
- Inez: Nezi, Enzi
- Jonah: Onjah, Johan, Johna
- Leah: Hale, Aleh, Elah, Hael
- Leia: Alie, Ilea
- Lena: Nela, Lane
- Leon: Elon, Noel, Nelo
- Leona: Elona, Enola, Laneo, Noela, Neola
- Lia: Ali, Lai, Ila
- Lucas: Claus, Lacus, Calus, Culas
- Lyra: Aryl, Lary, Raly, Alry, Ryla
- Mabel: Belma, Ambel, Embla, Melba
- Milo: Lomi, Moil, Ilmo, Moli, Imli
- Myra: Mary, Ramy, Amry
- Ria: Ira, Rai, Ari, Air
- Vera: Reva, Raev
- Zane: Neza, Ezna, Anez, Azne
