SUCH

They are good in that they are easy to tell apart when shouting across the house though. Kudos to them on that
There are no good names except Molli and that's better Molly

Oh, I agree. All large families seem to be such a waste in terms of just the names. The names are OK, just trendy and boring. And I doubt I'll ever even have one kid (we'll see what my wife and I want, but right now it isn't something I want). Sigh. I have so much teen angst about this topic.
The names are okay, though. Not exciting to a name nerd, and certainly trendy, but names that will get them through the day just fine and not matchy thank God.
I love Molly as a nickname for Mary and am learning to accept it as a full name, but dislike the spelling Molli.

Well...
I'd rather see "boring" names like Lily, Katie, Molly, Andrew, Ethan, and Matthew than "interesting" names like Lataunda, Zephyrine, Journey, Indigo, Prochorus, or Vespasian.
And I'm pretty sure most kids would rather have those "boring" names.

That's big talk
You're stepping up to speak for an awful lot of people. I'm not sure on what basis you think you can make the claim that "most" kids would rather have "boring" names. I have four kids, and I know lots of kids, and I certainly don't think "most" of them would prefer "boring" names. Several of the teens I know are notably, vocally irritated that they got "boring" names. I know a young Tracy Ann, for only one example, who tells me every time I see her that "I wish my mom had come up with a cool name like Scarlett for me."
I think Zephyrine and Indigo have way, way more character than Grant and Bailey. If I could have named myself and had to choose between Zephyrine and Bailey, I can promise you Bailey would be out the window. Ick.

I would SO
rather be named Zephyrine or Prochorus or Vespasian than Bailey or Cole. And I'd DEFINITELY rather "see" them. (Seriously, did you go through my PNL?)
I don't mind boring names when they're good - John, Ethan, Andrew, Lily - but these names are all boring AND bad.
....

Vespasian is so so so so so much better than Grant or Savannah. Incomparable. You are comparing olympian gods to vermin.

Yeah, that. I don't like names that would be hard to bear, but um, Zéphyrine isn't one of those. Your list of "boring names" also was a different catagory- Matthew, Andrew and Lily is a different ball game from Cole and Bailey.
I didn't like all the "interesting" names you listed, but I like a lot of names more interesting than Savannah that would not make a child's life hell. Names like Katharina, Cornelia, Eugenia, Benedict, Roderick...Frederick, for goodness' sake. Frederick is a very interesting name.

Horrible taste in names. Bland, and completely unimaginative.
