OddNameOut
#94451
This troper's friend's family has the following names: Eleanor, Agnes, Irene, Alfred and Joe.
#94452
This troper's boy scout patrol, has me, Jacob, James, John, Jordan, Jim, and Andrew. We decided that Andrew shall now be referred to as Andrew Jackson.
#94453
This troper's family has everyone end in ee sounds. Mary, Sonny, Zachary, Shelley, Sydney, Casey, the pets Daisy, Bunny (a chicken), Kitty (a fish), Fluffy (a fish) and the youngest human of the family... Carter.
#94454
In my maternal grandmother's side of the direct family (for all intents and purposes, grandparents are counted): Priscilla, Penny, Paul and... Kenny. Bonus points: during the time my grandma (Priscilla) was still married to Kenny, her last name was Phetterplace.
#94455
The sheer unusual-ness of my RealLife name leads to me being this. My GirlScout troop was Diana, Rebecca, Jessica, Jennifer, Claudia and... ''Nova.''
#94456
Also when my mom was little she had three pet ducks named Duck, DuckDuck, and... Henry. She didn't name the third.
#94457
I married into a family whose names went: Joe, Jackie, Jenny, Julie, Joy... and Matthew. Matthew married Mary Anne, who gave birth to Molly, Madison... and Jake. Matt and Mary Anne claim that if they ever have another kid, they'll avoid an M. Maybe.
#94458
This troper's math teacher had four children, three girls who all had two part names that were usually shortened to first couple of syllables from the first name and "-is" (Riikkis, Hannis and Eevis, from youngest to oldest). The youngest child was a boy with a single part name and quite common one too.
#94459
Coincidence led to one corner of this troper's math class containing Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, and Easwaran (is that spelling right?). Slightly dizzying, and with no relation to any
Bruces that might be hanging around.
#94460
This troper was in a class where the teacher had everyone say their name when they got called on, and sure enough, on day six students in a row (this troper included) were called on with the name "Michael." The seventh, though, was Chris and the teacher
literally skidded, expecting another Michael.
#94461
This troper grew up with a family with seven kids. The father was James, the mother was Jane, the boys were Jensen, Jayson, Jamison, Jordan, and three others that I can't remember...the only daughter was Kaylee.
#94462
This troper saw the names Jensen and Kaylee and wondered if the kids were named after
Jensen Ackles and
Kaylee Frye. Then she realized that the timing would be incongruous and it's just a coincidence.
#94463
This troper once knew a family who had three kids named Jordan, Jessie...and Clint. The first two were girls, by the way.
#94464
A rare instance of the ''oldest'' child being the OddNameOut...Devon, Logan, and Lance. Apparently the mom ran out of her favorite names with Devon, so...
#94465
This troper knows a family by names of Bob, Barbara, Bobby, and...Megan. For bonus points, their last name also begins with B.
#94467
In the previous generation of this troper's family the girls were the following: Lori, Lisa, Tonya (or Jojo when she was a kid).
#94468
This troper and his siblings are named Manuel, Miguel and... Richard.
#94469
This troper knew siblings named Victoria, Veronica, and...Derek.
#94470
This troper's siblings names go roughly in sequence alphabetically- K, for Katherine, L, for Lucy, M, for Mary, N, for... oh yeah, the fourth one's named James.
#94471
Well, it's still J-K-L-M, right?
#94472
This troper's friend is named Chigozie. He has several brothers. Their names, including him, in age order: Nnamdi, Chigozie, Chidozie, Chibuka, ...and Chris.
#94473
As this troper sees it, "Chris" isn't the odd one out in that group, even though his is the only one that sounds like "normal English". Nnamdi is, because everyone else's name starts with "C-h" and his starts with "N-n".
#94474
As someone by the name Nnamdi (I can honestly say I never thought I'd see my name written on this site), I can tell you why Chris is still the OddNameOut for two reasons:
#94475
Chris is not a traditional Igbo name
#94476
Chris does not ''directly'' refer to God, while all of the other names do.
#94477
In sort of an inversion of this, this troper has a friend who's the OddNameOut in a completely opposite way. His parents are named Mary and Anthony, and his brother's name is David. This poor guy's name? Mwaanza. No kidding.
#94478
This troper's wife is the odd name out among her two sisters and two cousins. Their names are Avery (odd name out), Stina, Kira, Kaja, and Mirise (mer-EE-suh). Incidentally, this troper himself has four cousins named Jennifer, Jonathon, Jessica, and Jillian, with no odd name out.
#94479
This troper and her sisters: Marilee, Kelly, Courtney, and Natasha.
#94480
One set of my cousins are named Kristen, Kim, Kelly, and Michael.
#94481
A fencing pool that this troper recently took part in consisted of Martyn, Mark, Michael, Megan and... Carmen.
#94482
This one remembers Nick, Nick, Nick...and Corey. Our opponents were Jon...Corey, Nick, Nick. It sucked! >_<
#94483
This troper once went to church with a rare case in which the ''father'' had the odd name out. Ginger (mother) Joshua (oldest son) Grant (middle son) Jacob (youngest son) and...Mark.
#94484
Come to think of it this troper also went to school with a girl whose siblings went in this order: Aisling, Bridget, Casey, Deirdre...and Risa. This troper's friend has the odd name out.
#94485
My sister rooms with people named Justin, Jeffrey and Janet. Her name? Claire.
#94486
This troper has a double case: She is the only one in her dad's family not directly named after another relative in her first or middle name, which was done so intentionally. Her great-grandfather was William, her grandfather was James William, her father is Patrick James, and she would have been Sean Patrick has she been male. Incidentally she plans on calling her first son Sean.
#94487
During a RP event in ''WorldOfWarcraft'', four of our guild played the "Exodar Watch Force" with draenei alts, named Dalleroon, Daranasol, Drakog, and Suneibete. The D's were all coincidental, and the last one was coincidentally the only female.
#94488
This troper used to know a set of four sisters whose names were: Aum, Om, Euhm, and Lewella. The first three were all pronounced identically (like "ohm"), and their parents strictly forbade them to use nicknames. They never could tell who anyone was talking to. (PlanetOfSteves was totally, totally averted.)
#94489
My siblings are Alex, Alexandra... And I'm Aline.
#94490
This troper's two brothers are Jacob and John. She's Michaela.
#94491
Rebeckah, Sarah, Robert, Joseph, Rachel, ''Alissa,'' Michael, Christopher. Add in middle names and Alissa is still the only "non-traditional" name.
#94492
This troper has collected moose stuffed animals since childhood. Their names are: Moose, Moosifur, George Moose, Marshall Moose, Huggy Moose, and Fred.
#94493
In a lot of my classes in High School, there are at least 2 Lewises, and occasionally 4.We are: Lewis Agnew, Lewis Bolland (me), Lewis Coule, and Lewis...Johnson.Some people call him Lewis Donson, so he fits.
#94494
This troper remembers his dad organising an evening of playing chess at his home. The players consisted of Peter, Peter, Peter, Pieter and Hans. (My dad is one of the Peters.)
#94495
My mom and her siblings go by Kats[uhisa], Tak[ahisa], Masako, Akiko... and Teddy. Granted it's actually Teruhisa, but he's the only one who goes by an Anglicized name.
#94496
My dad and his siblings: Alan, Ann, Susan, Steven ...and Bruce. They're not sets of twins.
#94497
Is your surname Shimadzu?
#94498
Slightly subverted by a family when I was in school, with daughters named Jean, Joan, Jennette & Juanita.
#94499
This troper's mother's family would, for the most part, be at home in the Superman universe: every single one of them has the initials LL, except for the younger son, who is named Dave. (This troper also has an L name, but her siblings don't.)
#94500
This troper's class seems to have ended up with all the multiple names in the grade, with four Jennifers, three Sharons and two Audreys. The catch is, it goes: ''Sha''ron, ''Sha''ron, and Sha''ron''. The last girl is always getting her name mispronounced.
#94501
This troper once went on a Girl Scout camping trip where names of the scouts were Kirsten, Katy, Kara, Christie, Kristi, and Morgan. Morgan didn't clear matters up much by shouting "One of the K's is down" when one of us fell.
#94502
This troper's cousins are called Aimee, Aileen, Aidee and...Esmeralda
#94503
This troper once fell in a group sorted alphabetically. All but him started with a "J", so to make up for it, when referring to that he listed the group with his online handle ("Jesus" -
of Suburbia, blasphemy is unintentional).
#94504
This editor has a friend, whose name in Ann. Her brother is Andy, but guess what name her stepsister got when she was born? Michelle.
#94505
Inversion: This troper once became fast friends with two other people during a summer trip mostly *because* we discovered our names were Dan, Daniel, and Daniella. During the first day we met up with someone Daniella knew, and spent the rest of the day enjoying introducing ourselves as "Dan, Daniel, Daniella, and Jill."
#94506
This troper's family did it with middle names of the grandkids. You have (for the guys) the oldest Bradley Robert, youngest Justin Robert, and the first great-grankid Gavyn Robert. The middle one? This troper, Christopher Charles. For the girls, you have the middle one Melissa Lee, youngest one Megan Lee, and the oldest Jenifer Angelique. Who also violates first name theming, come to think of it.
#94507
This troper's mom-in-law and her sisters: Charlene, Charlotte, Colleen, Carla, Cathleen, Caitlyn, and Andrew. Andrew is a girl.
#94508
Like this troper mentioned on the ThemeNaming page, a group of my RP characters: Beta, Gamma, Delta, Zeta, Sigma, and Marisol. It reflects the fact that Marisol's a different model of ArtificialHuman than the others.
#94509
It's a weird double case with this troper's father and his siblings. Jim, Jackie, and...Carlos. The double case is that Carlos is the only one who doesn't go by a nickname. (''James'' being this troper's father and Jackie being short for Jacqueline, which is also her ''middle'' name.)
#94510
This troper knew a family with four kids:
Mathew, Mark, Luke... and Eric. Though Eric was actually the oldest, it was still weird.
#94511
This tropers siblings are called Ryan, Rachel and Robin, and me? Charis.
#94512
I have a friend named Jason. His older brother's name is Josh[we call him Sheep]. His little sister's name is Jessie. His mom's name is Jamie. And his dad's name...is Dave. [plenty of jokes are made about it, and everybody's pretty good natured about it]
#94513
My mother and her sisters named their daughters April, Alyssa, Amber, Angel, Ayla, Amaliya...and Heaven. Strangely fitting, considering her mother was only a half-sister.
#94514
The neighborhood this troper grew up in is made up of four side streets: Strathmoor, Devonshire, Kensington, and Larry's Drive. She shits you not.
#94515
This troper's aunts/uncles/mother: James, Joseph, John, Mary Jane...Juanell?
#94516
Have you ever tried not being this if your last name exists out of 4 symbols of which only 2 are letters. As you can imagine A.B. (thats a real last name) stands out almost anywhere. Some computer systems dont even want to register my name like that.
#94517
This troper's siblings' middle names are Justice, Hope, Faith, Courage, and Wisdom. Hers? Joyce.
#94518
My friend and his brothers: Mark, Luke, John, and...''Martin''?
#94519
This troper's family all have names that were in the top 20 most common names during their year of birth. Grandma? Virginia, which was the seventh most common for girls at the time. Grandpa? Harold, thirteenth most common. Mom was Karen, which was fourth most common. Dad was Daniel, nineteenth most common for boys. Little sister? Jessica, sixteenth most common. Little brother? Jacob, which has been the first most common since 1999. My name? Zora, which ''hasn't even been in the top 1000 for decades.''
#94520
At her church, this troper once got roped into being part of an act called "Linda, Linda, Linda, and me."
#94521
The female side of this troper's family all have second names... except me :<
#94522
This troper is the odd one out. Her father's name is Alfonso, so her little brother's name is Alfonso. Her older sister's name is Irma because their mother's name is Irma. I'm the middle child with the first name of a neighbor. I am also the only one of the children not known by their middle name.
#94523
This troper and his siblings are named after characters from the bible--well, except for one. There's Mary, Paul, Mark (me), Elizabeth, and Artie.
#94524
This troper's family's pets my cousins have/had Ebony(dead cat), Sophie(dog), Charlie(Dog), Ollie(dog), Harry(dead hampster), and Stormy(cat); my grandmother has/had Rusty(dead dog)and Freddie(dog); I have/had Buddy(dead cat), Bonnie(cat). and... Clyde.
#94525
this tropers friends names are Dante, Nina, Leslie, and last but not least kina
