the name game

So is there any rhyme or reason to why you named your kids the way you did? Any pattern or originality to it? Our family (until the last baby) all shared initials with someone else in our family. Here it is:
Julie Ann and Justin Andrew (JAW)
Joshua Seth and Jared Steven (JSW)
Stephanie Paige and Steven Paul (SPW)
Then theres Jarom Michael (JMW)....I think we need another one...don't you? He's gonna feel like a outsider!!
I know we only had 1 girl but the plan was: our girls would all start with S and our boys with J. We just had more boys than girls. Our dogs both start with L ... Lady and Lina
And this morning, my son made another discovery...everyone who shares initials just so happens to have the same color scriptures: This was totally unplanned as the grandparents are the ones who buy their scriptures for them when they turn 8. So the JAW's have blue scriptures, the JSW's have black and the SPW's have maroon. Isn't that cool? We thought so.

Yes Julie... we has patters with our kids also
We use K's and B's only for our first letter.

We have 2 middle names.And the 2nd middle name has to start with M...

Now keep in mind we evolved this pattern over time, didn't really realize what we were doing.

By the time we got to number 6 and 7 we HAD to keep up the madness!!!!!
