Poor kids. Talk about an invitation for an identity crisis.

So what does Jacob go by if he wants a nickname? Jay, maybe. Or... Cob? Cobbie? Or Jaco, which for me is unfortunately reminiscent of Jacko (as in Michael Jackson) and, now that I think of it, also Jayco. Huh.It reminds me of George Foreman (I think) and his collection of children named George.

It's George Foreman, yepI mean, normally I hate this kind of paternal egomania. But imo dear ol' George Edward Foreman I is the modern epitome of this mania, almost to the point of high art.Foreman has 10 kids. The sons are:
1. George Edward Foreman II
2. George Edward Foreman III (b. 23 Jan 1983)
3. George Edward Foreman IV
4. George Edward Foreman V
5. George Edward Foreman VI (b. 15 Aug 1999)The daughters include:
1. Freeda George Foreman (b. 16 Oct 1976) - She goes by Freeda, which is incidentally her mother's name
2. Georgetta Lebertha Foreman (b. 28 Aug 1977)The three remaining children are daughters whose names I can't find, which implies to me that they escaped the name theme.

There's something about taking things to the extremethat makes a normally annoying thing more entertaining than otherwise.The girls got of fairly well in this case. Granted Lebertha isn't my style, but Freeda and Georgetta aren't bad compared to, say, being one of five Georges.I wonder what they call each other.

I could tolerate John, nickname Jake, and Jacob as a twin set, although I certainly wouldn't use it myself. But Jake by itself and Jacob? Ick!The paternal egomania the second set displays irks me more than the twinnyness of the set itself does! But ignoring that, Victaevia is just horrid--how do you even pronounce it? Even something like Victorina would've been better imo. Victoria, of course, is lovely.

I kind of thought Victaevia was a mixture of Victoria and Octavia myself, but who knows how they're pronouncing it. Imagine if the next child is a boy, junior, then you'll have Victoria, Victaevia, and Victor. Paternal egomania, indeed!

I have to admit......That I would totally flip for Victor and Victoria as b/g twins. Tacky as sin? Probably. Plus, it breaks the no-romantic-couples rule (they're betrothed in The Corpse Bride--at the beginning, at least). But Vic and Tora would be so cute, and I love the musical. :DVictoria and Victaevia, though? ...No. Just...no. And same for Jake and Jacob.Array
