It may not be particularly common but it happened enough to have rules for it.I was under the impression that the 10th son thing was a result of their number system, not really because they made that many suffixes just in case they had 10 sons. o.o
(Seems a lot more effective to name someone suzy'ten than suzy'blah, so when you eventually have suzy'eleven, you're not scrambling for what word to make up for that kid)
If they are normally hitting 1 or 2 kids I would imagine the thing would top out at 5, I mean that would require having at minimum 11 kids. 10 Sons requires at minimum having 21 children. I've been thinking conservatively Keepers have 5 children that can give you around 400 or so per family if you go out to second cousins, so Keeper Enclaves might have something like 1000+
I imagine the excessive females would have an interesting trend in society, perhaps even luring away excess Tia Seeker
