I'm astonished that you can be as old as you claim you are in your profile, and yet not realise that naming siblings after the protagonists in tragic love & sex stories is something that you just don't do. Quite apart from the fact that EVERYONE will think of the story when they hear those names, can you imagine being in high school when the class learns about Romeo & Juliet or Arthur & Guinevere? Would *you* like to go through school being teased with the epithet "Ha ha, you f***ed your brother!" ? Would you? Because that's the kind of thing kids say. That's probably the *mildest* of the things they'd say.

Life is tough enough on kids without them being tagged with a name that brings up completely inappropriate associations when placed next to a sibling's name.
