Pete and Repeat
Spending last week with my relatives reminded me how incredibly large our family is. Thanks to the rhythm method, or what the Catholics call "birth control" I have over 60 cousins. Sixty! We could be a small country. So I guess it's not surprising that in such big a group, some names would repeat. But what baffles me is exactly how many names repeat.
My extended family includes:
2 Petes
2 Gays
2 Ellens
2 Nathans
2 Jeffs
2 Stellas (if you count my mom's dog)
3 Matts
3 Katies
2 Annas, 1 Annie and 1 Anne
And, the sadest fact of all, TWO Audreys, making me "BIG Audrey" or "OLD Audrey" - neither of which I am too fond.
There are more than 60 American names, people... come up with something NEW.

Wow. I have one cousin. His name is Patrick and he lives in Denmark.
I was reading the post below this one, so the top of the page started with your extended family list and 2 gays. I was wondering why you'd categorize my parents that way and why you hadn't listed 3 sisters who aren't really sisters as part of your extended family. maybe you should write a post about the berkeley side of your family.
