Have you ever heard of someone..?

Naming their kids after a category or something?

I knew a woman who had 4 kids, all girls..

Margaret Olivia
Joanna Karen
Mary Katherine
Elaine Martha

They were all names of Maureen O'Hara characters

Have any stories like this?

Answer:
I new some people who had 3 boys who they named all after presidents. They were Harry, Teddy, & George.
My ex and his wife named their kids (girl and boy) Liberty and Justice! I have a friend that named his daughter Neveah (Heaven spelled backwards).
George Foreman named all his kids George. I think he has 5.
No, but I do know for a fact that there is a set of twins in a nearby town named Lemonjelo and Orangello (Lemon Jello - Orange Jello)
Although not real life, in the movie 'Where the Heart is' Ashley Judd's character named all her children after snacks-Brownie is the only one I can think of off the top of my head, but she had several.
I know a cpl w/ 4 kids named them "Eeny" "Meeny" "Miny" and "Mo"
I knew a guy who's grandmother named all her sons after things she saw when she went into labour. There was Poul (after a fence pole), Ship (she was at the harbour) and Winn (after the window she was looking out of). Apparently she was a very odd woman.

I think they all got off pretty lightly. I believe Dad had a say in the naming.
Not so much a 'category'...but I knew a family that had --at last count--11 kids, and all of their names start with a T and have Leigh as a middle name.

Tchelsea Leigh (yes, Chelsea with a T...lol)
Taran Leigh
Tristan Leigh
Trent Leigh
etc., etc. I don't remember the rest. I knew them when I was really little, so I don't know the youngest ones' names.

I always thought that was kinda weird...


Edit: Oh, and my Sunday School teacher when I was 4 had twin boys named either Davy and Crockett, or Daniel and Boone...I can't remember which.
I know some people and all their kids have biblical names
I read there was a guy whose last name was Wind and he named his four kids East, West, North and South.
My cousin had qintuplets and she named them all after Disney Channel characters:
Pim Chelsea
Raven Brandy
Hannah Miley
Phil Jake
Jackson Cory
.....She gets teased about them all the time!
I heard some dad name his kid ESPN (pronounced like Aspen)
Jeez. I know a million and one stories of kids having parents who give them horrible names or try to be too cute. I know a woman who named her son Shithead (****-head) pronounced Sh-theed. I also had a girl in my english lit class who mother named her Tangerine she said she had a brother named Street light something about her parents naming them after things in the neighborhood. I also know a boy whose mother named him her maiden last name ( it wasn't so bad). But then there are people like the naked chef whose naming his children Daisy Boo and Poppy honeysickle or whatever.... I think that's the worse I've ever heard. You know the more creative you get with those names the more likely your kids are going to hate you when they get made fun of.
I had a neighbor who had three kids, all girls.

Named them all after Native American tribes a long time ago.

Shawnee, Cherokee, and Cheyenne. I thought it was different.

Then there's the Duggar family or whatever--they've got like 16 kids, and all their names start with J! You can look them up online!
My Aunt has seven kids, they are not a category, but they all end with an "e" sound:
Marty, Stevie, Eddie, Davey, Kenny, Missy, and Bobby. We always thought it was weird, but after reading some of these answers, I guess they are not so weird! haha
there was a book,(sci-fi) called "the podkayne experiments">well,the parents of a kid in my brothers class musta loved the book,cos they named their daughter-podkayne!!if i were her,i'd change it to just "kayne>"my husband went to school with a kid called "formaldahyde"-his mom just liked the word-even tho it is ENBALMING FLUID!(and the stuff they use @ school to "pickle" dead frogs).i also knew a girl,"chlorine>" i think she should marry formaldahyde !! i also once knew a family with the following kids-mathew,mark,luke,john and mary.i also know non-twin sisters,betty and betsy.
Bow and Tray
My Grandparents last name means "The great" so all of the kids have a middle name of someone titled "The great" Such as Ann, Frederick, Alexander, but the fourth boy's middle name was Scott, for "Great Scott!"
i had a neighbor who named his kids after auto part stores, and my ex and his 3 sisters all start with a hard C... it's pretty sad in a redneck trailer kind of way...
a neighbor of ours named her children:
Skyler Blue
Sutton Grey
Seader Red

Biblical names are very common but it unbelievable the amount of them I have where I teach. It is a Christian school but it still surprises me...
Some that we have are: Isaac, Isaiah, Levi, Jacob, James, Matthew, Hannah, Benjamin, Eesa, Shakir, Noah, Jonah, Job, Mark, Luke, Thomas, Michael, Joshua, Caleb, Lydia, Elijah, Seth, Chloe, Sarah, Alexander, Jeffrey, Jordan, Jacob, Joseph...among many, many more...
MY COUSIN HAD 4 BOYS, HER NAME WAS SALLY AND HER HUSBANDS NAME WAS SCOTT, THEY NAMED THIER BOYS, SCOTTY, SHANE, SAMMY, AND I CANT REMEMBER THE OTHER BUT IT STARTED WITH A "S" TOO, I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT WAS WEIRD.
I saw an obituary for an old lady once who had several sisters, all named for flowers. Rose, Violet, Lilly, Daisy, Iris
not to this extent, she must be #1 fan! my cousin and her husband and their 4 kids name all start with the same letter and the kids middle names start with the same letter
I knew this girl who's older brother's name is Rusty and he was named Rusty Van cause his dad saw a rusty van outside the window just after he was born after that her mom named the kids p.s. the girl's name is Marley
I use to name my baby dolls
Romeo and Juliet
Prince and Princess
Kingy and Queenie
Etc. Etc. Etc..
