A Virginia family have gone viral for naming their six children very similar names. Carolyn Cousin, 31, and her fiancé, Cameron Butts Sr., 32, gave each of their children names that look similar on paper but are actually pronounced very differently. Their children are Camarion (cuh-MAR-ee-on), 7 months, Cam’Ron, 2, Carmyn, 4, Camreon (cam-REE-on), 6, Cameron Jr., 7, and Camryn, 9, Cousins said in an interview with People. In a video posted to TikTok in July, where she shared her children’s names, some people posted negative comments. “This should be illegal,” one person wrote. “This pmo [pisses me off] to infinity and beyond,” another added. She said, despite the negative reactions online, that her children “love” the tradition. And she hopes that they give their own children “unique names” when they’re old enough. The parents of six decided to make it a tradition after their third child, she said. “Honestly my fiancé and I both agreed on our first child’s name. He always wanted to name his daughter Camryn, [which is] the girl version of his name Cameron,” she told People. “Then we had a boy a year later and named him Cameron Jr. and honestly it really started a thing naming two kids the same name.”
