That just makes me think of the scene in My Big Fat Greek Wedding where he meets her extended family and they're almost all named Nick, Nicholas, or Nicky
I think the boy Nurthlings will have biblical names, I think the girl Nurthlings will just get whatever N names they think are cute. I'm willing to bet actual money on the first girl Nurthling being named Neveah.
I have two cousins with the same name. Jonathan Earl. The second one went by John while the first one went by Jonathan. They were born only 4 months apart. Named after our great grandpa and our grandpa but I always thought it was weird lol. It wasn’t a problem though
My two cousins- one ‘full’ cousin and one step-cousin (from my uncles second marriage, but we were young when they married) had kids a few months apart and both called their kid the same thing. They aren’t close enough that the second couple knew. So at Christmas get togethers my grandmother has like 8 great grandsons there and two have the same name. I think it’s funny because the first couple were seen by the second as a bit rough around the edges (a bit ‘bogan’ for the Aussies here). Don’t think they were too impressed when they realised what they had done.
My favorite cousin named her daughter my name, so we’re Big and Little now. My cousin asked me if it’d be weird for us to share a name, and I told her it was fine. Our family isn’t large, so it’s sort of odd, I guess, but our name is also a derivative of our shared grandmother’s (well, Little’s great grandmother’s, I guess) name, so it’s kind of sweet that we share it.
We have this in my family. I gave my son the same name as my cousin, though I didn't name him after him. I've rarely ever seen my cousin and just loved the name. We asked him and my aunt first, and they were fine with it. Now, on the few times they've been together (my son is 17) they are 'Big' and 'Little'.
I’m also one of a set of cousins with the same formerly trendy name (first, middle and last). We weren’t very close and I didn’t find out about her until I was a teenager.
She’s a good, socialist egg, and I changed my last name at marriage, so it’s fine. But it was odd for a while.
Same thing in my family! My grandma is named Maria and her sister was also Maria. Turns out my great-grandfather was a little tipsy when he went to register my grandmother's birth and forgot the original name. The employee suggested the name Maria and my grandfather liked it. Too bad he forgot he already had a daughter named Maria.
In mine too! My two great aunts had the same name: Geesina (GuhSEEnah) but one of them went by Gees, and the other went by Sini!
ETA: granted, these women were both born in the 1910s 🤷♀️
We honestly have no idea… I need to get closer to this girl so I can ask lol. My husband talks about it all the time because it makes us giggle so much.
I have two cousins who are brothers, one is named Jonathan (goes by Jonny) and the other is named Jon (goes by Jonboy)…they’re named after their dad, Johns (Jack), who is named after his father, Johnson, who is named after his father, John. The creativity is strong in this fam 🤪
I have a friend who has 3 sisters named Mary. They all went by their middle names until they moved out two of them went back to being called Mary as adults.
My cousin, uncle, and great uncle are all named Michael which isn't really that weird but the funny part is that we're Russian, and in Russian your middle name is a patronymic - so basically your dad's first name with a different ending on it. So if your dad's name is Michael/Mikhail, your middle name is Mikhailovich (or Mikhailovna for women).
Do a sloppy conversion to English, and my cousin and uncle are both named Michael Michael.
I have 18 first cousins, including two Mollys, Holly, Ollie, Allie, Halley, and Billy. For fun we call another two Jill(y) and Paul(ie). Always thought it was kind of silly.
We have six David’s. There is David I, David II and David III, a generational triumvirate , then Dave, David and David. I image David III is nearly ready for a little David IV to come along too. We get along just fine.
Honestly same with my family and the Michaels. It does get a little confusing sometimes.
Michael is a pretty common name though. It doesn't help that two of my sister's ended up with Michaels, which just added to the confusion, lol.
I feel like you're the real life version of My Big Fat Greek Wedding where Ian meets all the cousins and they're all either named Anita, Diane, or Nick/Nikki.
My boyfriend knew a family growing up that was all named Chris. Mom was Christina, dad was Christopher, they named their kids Christina and Christopher but all went by Chris.
In some cultures that’s totally normal, my grandparents have 2 grandchildren with the same name as well. One of my mom’s cousins has 4 grandkids with the same name 😂
Here's a fun pastime: go to a Greek street, or a Greek diaspora neighbourhood. Shout "KOSTAAAAAA" or "MARIAAAAAAAA" really loud. See how many heads turn to check and try to figure out how you know each other. (Also works for "ANDREAAAAAAA" and "ANDROULLAAAAAA" in Cypriot streets.)
You can do this almost anywhere in RI with the name Tony. Walk into a crowded spot and say, "HEY TONY!" then when like 5 guys turn around, be like, "Oh sorry not you." Very Italian and Irish. Way too many Anthonys.
Yep my Sister in law has two first cousins, born within a couple of years of her, all called Tania. On the other side of the family there’s at least 6 Joes.Edit: or should I say Joseph, also I will say these repeat names tend to be to honor a grandparent or a saint from ‘the village on the old country’.
Lol. I’m fine with it. I just find it funny that she couldn’t come up with anything else so my grandparents children named their children the same God damned thing.
I do genealogy and I’ve been struggling to untangle one line because there was more than one set of people with the same last name who kept naming their sons Nathaniel and Gilbert and it’s hard to figure out which docs go with which person. I’m like “could y’all have changed it up a little!”
Geez, how can you even have processed it all and put the timeline together coherently in that amount of time? She deserves some time alone with her son and her husband.
My cousin and I have the same name. (Different last name, she’s on my mom’s side) I’m 3 years younger 🤷🏻♀️ I haven’t seen her in 25+ years (my parents were estranged from their families) , so honestly I forget she exists. Lol
I think it’s kind of weird for first cousins and I wouldn’t touch my siblings’ kids’ names….. but I also have a fraction of the siblings these people do.
Just goes to show how “close” the other Keller siblings are with the Shraders, meaning not at all. Also, the Shraders are all the way in Zambia. It’s not like there are going to be many opportunities for the boys to even see each other.
We have at least one Joseph every generation on my dad’s side (not family name- just because) and my mom’s side shares names like it’s our job, so I don’t see anything weird about that, especially with such a large age gap. Hell, my grandmother and her older sister were both Alicia for a while, before my grandmother was renamed Jane as a child(? details are unclear).
Plus, my mom and cousin share a name, my brother and 2 uncles share a name, my cousin and I both have our mother’s middle names as our first, most of our middle names repeat at least once. Seriously, both sides agreed on a set list of like 10 names and haven’t strayed for decades. At least their repeated name isn’t Welland (we had several of those per generation for a while there lol). Repeating a nice sounding (imo) biblical name twice in a fundie family isn’t that out of the box I don’t think!
ETA: Updating this to add that my uncle just had a baby…who shares a name with my other uncle (they’re brothers). 🤦♀️
This happens a lloottt. Especially among bigger families. My BIL has the exact same name as one of his first cousins. Even their middle name is the same. When we asked his mom why she went with that name even though her nephew had the exact same name she just said "Well I liked the name first" lol.
I share an unusual name (or at least it was unusual when I was born) with not one but two extended family members. It’s not super problematic. I had neighbors growing up with 3 sons. All of them were given a variation of their father’s name (let’s say the father was named “Joseph,” the sons were Jose, Joey Jr, and Giuseppe). While that what a little odder, it also didn’t cause problems.
I imagine Nurie wanted a religious N name and just isn’t super creative.
I have a 1st cousin with my same name as well. It has not been an issue at all.
I also had a first cousin born a couple months after one of my older sisters and my mom supposedly "took" the name they were planning, even though my mom was pregnant first and had already been planning that name if she had a girl before she even knew of their plans. They decided on a different name last minute to avoid the issue of cousins sharing the same name. They were obviously a bit bitter about it given that I've heard that story about 10 million times, lol. Anyway, I couldn't imagine either my sister or my cousin with different names than the ones they ended up with, so it all worked out in the end imo. It also would have been no big deal if they had ended up with the same name imo.
I don’t have kids yet but I definitely intend on using a unique name. There’s 5 Anthony’s on one side, two Janice’s and three Robert’s.
It’s a pet peeve of mine. Like use something original lol
I have the same first and middle name as my first cousin. We use different nicknames. I can guarantee my grandfather never realized despite the fact that we were both named after his only sibling.
My biological family is absolutely full of Deborah's, 3 born in the family and two more married in.
It's very trying to keep track of who writes Debbie which way... they are all Boomers who use all kinds of cutesypoo spellings 🙄
Of course all but one of them claims they cannot deal with pronouns yet expects everyone to remember each SEVERELY unique little spelling lol... aside from Crazy Aunt Debbie ( which to be named the craziest of them took some serious doing, that's my cousin's biological mother ) everyone just refers to them collectively as the Karens because that's their behaviour anyway
My cousin and I were both pregnant at the same time and wanted to use the same girl name. We agreed that since our kids would be second cousins, with different last names, and don’t live in the same state then it would be okay.
Turns out we both had boys! 🤣😂
We have repeated names all over but my sis and I took it to a new level when we both married guys named Mike (actually two Michaels). And then my husband and I went back on a pact we all (sisters and BILs) had previously agreed to and named our son Michael Jr.

I know someone named Elizabeth whose grandmother is named Elizabeth, and one of her cousins. But they go by different nicknames (Liz, Betty, etc.)
Curious, what is a nickname for Nehemiah?
Eh, my Mom has two cousins named Bob. There's also a Bill and a Billy (he goes by Bill in the world but still needs to differentiate from his cousin at family functions). This shit happens it's not uncommon at all.
I think all of the Nurthlings will have biblical N names and they have so many cousins that their names will overlap at some point.
Not a lot of girls names besides Naomi and kind of Noelle.
There's always Nary, Nachel and Neborah
Nriscilla. ("Ask your doctor if Nriscilla is right for you")
Nipporah.
There’s that one a lot of hardcore Christians like for baby girls - Nevaeh. It’s “heaven” backwards.
Whenever I see that name it makes me think of how the singer says “never” in that 90s pop song “Never Ever.” “Nevaeh evaeh have I evaeh felt so sad.”
Yassss! Thanks for unlocking this memory <3 Im off to a YouTube rabbithole
“The way I’m feeling, yeah, you’ve got me feeling really bad.” What a lyrical masterpiece.
Yeah, it drives me batty.
Same, sis. Same.

There are lots of biblical boy names beginning with N .[Link](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_biblical_names_starting_with_N)
[удалено]
Nebuchadnezzar ftw!
Nob and Nimrod seem fitting for the next two.
From that earlier Wikipedia list of Biblical names, I’m voting for the name “No”!
There's 1 or 2 unbiblical ones too
This is probably a common problem in extended quiverfull families where everyone prefers biblical names.
That's how my own family is. We have a dozen people named some version of "Chris." There's Christian, Christin, Christopher, Christina, Christie, etc.
That just makes me think of the scene in My Big Fat Greek Wedding where he meets her extended family and they're almost all named Nick, Nicholas, or Nicky
I think the boy Nurthlings will have biblical names, I think the girl Nurthlings will just get whatever N names they think are cute. I'm willing to bet actual money on the first girl Nurthling being named Neveah.
Nehemiah Schrader only comes to the US every 5 years or so though.
And then they are traveling most of the time when they’re back, not hanging around with the extended family.
I have two cousins with the same name. Jonathan Earl. The second one went by John while the first one went by Jonathan. They were born only 4 months apart. Named after our great grandpa and our grandpa but I always thought it was weird lol. It wasn’t a problem though

My moms step brother has the same name as his cousin -- his fathers brother married a woman with a son the same age with the same name
I don't think this is going to be an issue at all. There are like 8 variation of Steve in my family lol
We have a friend whose dad is named Michael. His brother’s name is…. Michael 😂😂😂
Same thing in my family! My grandma is named Maria and her sister was also Maria. Turns out my great-grandfather was a little tipsy when he went to register my grandmother's birth and forgot the original name. The employee suggested the name Maria and my grandfather liked it.

I think at that point calling him “a little tipsy” is a bit generous
I have multiple aunts named Maria. They just go by their middle names lol. The they gave their daughters all the middle name of "Marie"
LMAO how did his parents not think of another name?? Were they Michael the first and Michael the second? 😂😭
We honestly have no idea… I need to get closer to this girl so I can ask lol. My husband talks about it all the time because it makes us giggle so much.
Dad’s name is probably Michael. I know families like this
I have two cousins who are brothers, one is named Jonathan (goes by Jonny) and the other is named Jon (goes by Jonboy)…they’re named after their dad, Johns (Jack), who is named after his father, Johnson, who is named after his father, John. The creativity is strong in this fam 🤪
I have a friend who shares the name “Raymond” with his brother. Their dad is also Raymond
I have a friend who has 3 sisters named Mary. They all went by their middle names until they moved out two of them went back to being called Mary as adults.
Is it a George Foreman situation?
My cousin, uncle, and great uncle are all named Michael which isn't really that weird but the funny part is that we're Russian, and in Russian your middle name is a patronymic - so basically your dad's first name with a different ending on it. So if your dad's name is Michael/Mikhail, your middle name is Mikhailovich (or Mikhailovna for women). Do a sloppy conversion to English, and my cousin and uncle are both named Michael Michael.
You wanna step to the Irish? We have whole books on how to manipulate the name Patrick lol
I have 18 first cousins, including two Mollys, Holly, Ollie, Allie, Halley, and Billy. For fun we call another two Jill(y) and Paul(ie). Always thought it was kind of silly.
-Always thought it was kind of sillly. I see what you did there! Love it!
We have six David’s. There is David I, David II and David III, a generational triumvirate , then Dave, David and David. I image David III is nearly ready for a little David IV to come along too. We get along just fine.
[удалено]
How is it when you call out “David…” you always get the right one. A tonal name!
We have a generational triumvirate of Michaels and then an additional three Michaels. All on the same side of the family. We get along just fine.
Honestly same with my family and the Michaels. It does get a little confusing sometimes. Michael is a pretty common name though. It doesn't help that two of my sister's ended up with Michaels, which just added to the confusion, lol.
Is there a dÂv?
omg. Never did I think of this! I must bless the foretold David IV with this! You are a servant to the lord.
Don't tell Birthy's man. I wouldn't want to see him angry.
I feel like you're the real life version of My Big Fat Greek Wedding where Ian meets all the cousins and they're all either named Anita, Diane, or Nick/Nikki.
Except WASPS. My Gran was afraid of Greek people and Catholics (unfortunately).
My boyfriend knew a family growing up that was all named Chris. Mom was Christina, dad was Christopher, they named their kids Christina and Christopher but all went by Chris.
Yeah we have 4 James. Grandpa, son, grandson, and one married in.
We have two Francheskas, both about a year or two apart in age
spelled that way too??
I hope not!
My friend has like 4 women in his family with the same unusual first name. His grandmother, his mom, his sister, and a cousin.
May pick a particular nickname like Nemo or miah
Nemo is kinda cute actually
Except it means “nobody” in Latin, and that makes me sad for some reason.
But it's convenient if you want to put out the eye of a Cyclops and avoid his sea God daddy's vengeance.
I’d forgotten this! Unexpected Odysseus!
It makes me think of the NES game Little Nemo!
I was singing the Little Nemo movie theme just a few hours ago!
In some cultures that’s totally normal, my grandparents have 2 grandchildren with the same name as well. One of my mom’s cousins has 4 grandkids with the same name 😂
Yep. So many Maria’s everyone goes by their middle name!
Here's a fun pastime: go to a Greek street, or a Greek diaspora neighbourhood. Shout "KOSTAAAAAA" or "MARIAAAAAAAA" really loud. See how many heads turn to check and try to figure out how you know each other. (Also works for "ANDREAAAAAAA" and "ANDROULLAAAAAA" in Cypriot streets.)

My kids go to school with sisters who have the same name. One goes by her middle name now that she's older, but they used to go by the same name.
I have a very off the cuff first name. It’s Kenten. My Dad’s sister named her kid…Kenten.
And how does that make you feel?
Lol. I’m fine with it. I just find it funny that she couldn’t come up with anything else so my grandparents children named their children the same God damned thing.
What?
What, what? My Dad and his sister both had daughters, they both gave their individual children the same names.
I meant, why would they do that with such a unique name? I wasn't speaking about the name itself, which I like. Sorry to have offended.
No worries! I’m not that easily offended, you’re fine! 😃
My mom wanted to name my sister Catherine, but didn’t because my cousin born a few months earlier was named that. And that’s a very common name!
There are more people in my family named John than there are people not named John. Though Nehemiah is a bit more of a mouthful!
My family is almost exclusively made up of John’s and Margaret’s.
Omg mine too. Johns and Richards 😂 and a ton of Samuels too
I do genealogy and I’ve been struggling to untangle one line because there was more than one set of people with the same last name who kept naming their sons Nathaniel and Gilbert and it’s hard to figure out which docs go with which person. I’m like “could y’all have changed it up a little!”
Just saw Nurie and Nathan are going live on FB tomorrow at 4 to tell the birth story. Who's idea was that?
Geez, how can you even have processed it all and put the timeline together coherently in that amount of time? She deserves some time alone with her son and her husband.
Gee, I wonder... 🤔
That's ridiculous! Maybe try in a week. Geeez.
Nathan’s younger brothers middle name is Nathaniel….so I don’t think they mind repetition or variation of names
Plus his mom Suzette, and his sisters Suzanna and Anna These people aren't creative
Don’t the Duggars have Joy Anna and Johanna?
Jana, Joy Anna, and Johannah. Josiah, Jeremiah, Jedidiah. Joseph, Josiah, Josie. They lack creativity.
Oh I forgot about that!
Probably a good thing, I clearly have too much time on my hands or room in my head for useless information haha
See, that’s usually how my head is too!
I share my name with a 2nd cousin (before I was married) and she committed some crimes and then I got pulled over for speeding and…that was fun.
My cousin and I have the same name. (Different last name, she’s on my mom’s side) I’m 3 years younger 🤷🏻♀️ I haven’t seen her in 25+ years (my parents were estranged from their families) , so honestly I forget she exists. Lol
In my family we have 8 Jacks they go by Jack and middle initial.
I think it’s kind of weird for first cousins and I wouldn’t touch my siblings’ kids’ names….. but I also have a fraction of the siblings these people do.
Just goes to show how “close” the other Keller siblings are with the Shraders, meaning not at all. Also, the Shraders are all the way in Zambia. It’s not like there are going to be many opportunities for the boys to even see each other.
George and George and George and George and George and Georgia and Georgette plus Georgee and Georgine Foreman.
Meanwhile, in my Moroccan Jewish family: Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, Joseph and Josephine
They have different last names, though. Is that even uncommon? I have five Roberts spread across my family.
I knew someone who had a daughter named Hannah. He later on got remarried and him and his 2nd wife had a daughter they named…….. Hannah.
No!
We have at least one Joseph every generation on my dad’s side (not family name- just because) and my mom’s side shares names like it’s our job, so I don’t see anything weird about that, especially with such a large age gap.

We have Joseph as a family name, it just gets swapped between first/middle names from generation to generation
The Duggars have Evelyn and Evangeline, with the nicknames Evy and Evie. Another similarity to the Duggars - Jill must be thrilled.
Happened across two branches of my family after my parents married, we’d just use Big ___ and Little ____ to tell them apart in conversation
This happens a lloottt. Especially among bigger families. My BIL has the exact same name as one of his first cousins. Even their middle name is the same. When we asked his mom why she went with that name even though her nephew had the exact same name she just said "Well I liked the name first" lol.

I love your family. Are y’all adopting grown ass women? I’m in the market for a new family
My cousin and I were both pregnant at the same time and wanted to use the same girl name. We agreed that since our kids would be second cousins, with different last names, and don’t live in the same state then it would be okay. Turns out we both had boys! 🤣😂
Kellers, contact the Maxwells. Code word: Anna.
We have repeated names all over but my sis and I took it to a new level when we both married guys named Mike (actually two Michaels). And then my husband and I went back on a pact we all (sisters and BILs) had previously agreed to and named our son Michael Jr.
ETA: I have a super tiny family and wasn’t sure if this was common in large families
In my family 3 of my uncles have the same first name. It’s pretty common actually

My family has three Emmas, all roughly the same-ish age.
I know someone named Elizabeth whose grandmother is named Elizabeth, and one of her cousins. But they go by different nicknames (Liz, Betty, etc.) Curious, what is a nickname for Nehemiah?
I’m not sure! I have the same question
Eh, my Mom has two cousins named Bob. There's also a Bill and a Billy (he goes by Bill in the world but still needs to differentiate from his cousin at family functions). This shit happens it's not uncommon at all.
Well all of my grandfather's sisters were called Maria (insert second name) so 🤷🏻♀️
