Named Sets

Names are important, not just for how they reflect the individual, but for how they bind a group. Here are suggestions for those of you who might have three cats or two daughters and need the perfect set of names. I'll be updating this when inspiration strikes, or feel free to add you own thoughts.

Two girls: 1) Dierdre and Gumdrop; 2) Savanna and Veranda (recommended for southerners); 3) Maundy and Hashanah (for those of you who are concerned with sin and atonement); 4) Hilary and Mallory.

MIAA families: One girl, one boy: Hope and Calvin. Two girls, one boy: Hope, Alma, and Calvin. Three girls, one boy: Hope, Alma, Olivia, and Calvin. Three girls, two boy: Hope, Alma, Olivia, Calvin, and Albie. (With apologies to Kalamazoo, but it was a stretch too far.)

Three cats: 1) Totem, Taboo, and Fetish; 2) Race, Class, and Gender (Rather obvious, but I heard of someone who did this)
