ChrisR Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Did a bit of research on your names. As several folks have mentioned, there is a cultural phenomenon among some communities to come up with unique name spellings, so some of your names may be in that category. Or just plain nicknames or, as suggested, short for a family name. But as far as the >2000 male given names in the 1990 US Census, here's what I can find: Kedon - no match. Could be variation on Kendall? Tarell - no match. Could be variation on Tyrell (1,019th most common US given name) Rock - no match. Could be variation on Rocky (530), Brock (701) Mason - A MATCH! 632nd most common US given name Rand - no match. Could be variation on Brandon (68), Randy (78), Randall (139), Randolph (366), Randal (577), Branden (751), Randell (825) Eriko - no match. Could be variation on Erik (231), Erick (443), Federico (731), Erich (808) Link to comment
JamesSavik Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 If you think names for individual characters are a headache, try naming a regiment of twins. Link to comment
DesDownunder Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Rand: I would've thought that Rand was a name used by followers of Ayn Rand, as in Rand Paul; though I find it incomprehensible as to why anyone would want to acknowledge her, let alone admit to being one of her followers.

colinian Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Then there's a brigade of triplets. Colin Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 It would sound better as a triumph of triplets. Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Or a triumvirate of triplets. R Link to comment
colinian Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 More likely a terror of triplets. Colin Link to comment
DesDownunder Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Maybe, a titillation of triplets. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Would a triad of triplets be redundant? C Link to comment
