[Opinions] Names from American exchange student's family

One of my friends' cousins is hosting an American exchange student, and I got to meet him yesterday. His name is Lee. He told me he's from Georgia. I asked if Lee was his middle name since it seems to be a common middle name in the southern states, but he told me it's his first name. (His middle name is Nicholas.)

Lee also told me his parents, sisters, and nieces' names. His parents are Arthur and Rhonda, and his older sisters are Sandra and Jasmine. Sandra has a husband named Joseph and two daughters named Ruby and Emma. Ruby is after Sandra's grandmother and Emma is after Joseph's grandmother. (Lee had a photo album with him and showed me pictures of his family.)

WDYT?

Lee isn't too bad, really; I don't like it enough to use it even as a middle name, but it's not bad.
Sandra and Jasmine don't sound like sisters at all. Sandra is nice enough, but it's pretty middle-aged, though I do know a girl about 18 named Sandra. Sandra and Jasmine sound like mother and daughter rather than sisters.

Hate hate hate Emma and I don't care who it's after.
Ruby is cute, in an excited puppy kind of way.

Interesting story... Why does a college aged guy have a physical photo album?

Arthur and Ruby are fine. That’s it.

I asked him the same question. He told me that he likes photo albums and that most people his age don't appreciate them.
