Mum questions whether giving your kids themed names is tacky

Where do you land on this?

A mum has questioned whether giving your children themed names is tacky. If you don't really know what a themed name is, it's basically like giving all of your children names that begin with the letter 'K', or picking names that are all flowers, or going with names that all end in a vowel. Lots of people, whether consciously or not, do end up giving their children themed names, and to be honest, if the theme isn't all that obvious then chances are people won't notice anyway. And honestly, even if they do, who cares? One mum who was slightly worried about the prospect of some themed names though was one of the mums on Mumsnet.  She said that both of her children's names began with an 'e' and she wanted to know whether this was tacky. We'd go with a firm 'no' on that one, but here's what she wrote anyway:

"Just curiosity really. My children both begin with e. "I went to school with kids who began with v, Vincent and his triplet sisters Verity, Valerie and Veronica. A friend has children with gem themes. Girls are Ruby and Pearl, boys are Lennox and Topaz. "Also a woman who used to babysit my neighbours kids a few years ago was called Storm, and she called her daughter Kat and son Rhyno!"

She asked the other parents on the forum what they thought of themed names, and while most people thought they were pretty much grand if the names themselves were nice, one user thought the whole thing was rather "tacky" and another said it was "naff." So, what do you think? Are they tacky? Are they fine? Does it matter at all?
