Caraboo Grace. Named after a 19th Century British hoax or a big loping deer with “creative” spelling applied because the name wasn’t creative enough on its own? Either way it’s wrong and I hope she chooses to go by Cara rather than Boo.Kaydince. We want to emphasise the flow and rhythm of the name, but we really need to get both a “k” and a “y” in there and to remove any potential reference to her being dense.
Which brings us to the twins. The naming of these twins leads me to believe that one of two things happened. Either the mother didn’t know she was having twins, and when the second baby, a little girl, was born Mum was overwhelmed, or Mum thought she was having more than two babies and when it turned out to be only twins she didn’t know what to do with the other names. How else do you explain fortunate young Owen Stephen and his unfortunately over-burdened sister Marykatelyn May? And if you’re going to squeeze three normal names into one, why the middle name? Surely Marykatelynmay would have worked just as well.
