A BELGIAN family has reportedly named their 11 children using the same four letters in a different order each time – and will do the same with their 12th child.
Gwenny Blanckaert and Marino Vaneeno’s kids all share names that only have the letters A, E, L and X in them.
The family of seven girls and four boys also expect baby number 12 – a boy – this year.
Their eldest, 13, is called Alex and then there's Axel, 12, Xela, 11, Lexa, 10, Xael, 9, Xeal, 8, Exla , 5, Leax , 4, Xale , 2, Elax, 1, and six-month-old Alxe.
