Alphabetology, Numerology

My wife and I have 3 kids -- a family of 5. If you take the first letters of each of our names, they can be arranged sequentially, contiguously in the alphabet (i.e., ABCDE, VWXYZ, etc). This was mostly a coincidence in that we didn't plan it -- except when it came to our youngest's name. Once we discovered that we had four in a row, we had to go for five! When the family caught on we had a little fun in telling them that we were going to use the much less common letter as our son's first name -- and all the rather strange and, um, unpopular names that brought with it.

It wasn't until just a few years ago that we realized that the length of each of our names is also sequential -- 4 letters in one name, 5 in another, 6, 7, and 8 letters in the rest of the family's names. There must be something to that... Just a little bit strange.
