Challenge of the Week: Name your perfect family

Oooh this is exciting!! Mine would be:

My name: Dianna Elaine Smith
Husband: Ryan Gosling (lol)
Children:
Althea Persephone “Ally”
Imogen Fifer “Immy”
Juniper Helen “Junie”
Lucille Beatrix “Lucy”
Crispin Malachy “Cris”
Salix Leonardo “Six”

I’m also assuming that name popularity isn’t being factored because I wouldn’t put Lucille with the other names. In real life though I wouldn’t be brave enough to use the other names and would use Lucille lol

I’d go with heavily Spanish inspired (mostly):
Texas Ibrahim Cadiz
Conejita Nicolene Carys
Guillermo Roberto Arnav
Durango Lalo Augosto
Eldora Gracia Paz
Laura Yaracet Ximenia
Arlo Hugo Lorcan

Ok no restrictions…..

Holiday Jane (Liddie/Holly)
Winslow Kate (Lola/Winnie)
Hazel May
Georgia Noon(Gigi)
Daphne Claire (Fi)
August James (Auggie)
Bruno Heath
Amos James
Wallace Ford (Ace)
Bowen Keats (Bo)

Charlotte Winter (Lottie/Lola)
Isabelle Austen (Belle)
Colette Harper (Coco)
Edith Atwood (Edie)
Georgia Madeleine (Gigi)
Atticus Owen
Holden Eliot
Milo Gatsby
Gideon Jude

Ophelia Dollie Pearl “Effie” & Oliver Hugo Thomas “Ollie” (Twins)
Wilhelmina Greta Lorraine “Minnie”
Leopold Percival Henry “Leo”
Primrose Viola Maude “Posie”
Clementine Ruby Lucille “Clemmie or Clio” & Theodore Alfie Walter “Teddy” (Twins)

Such fun!

Henry Fox
Louisa Frances
Helen Elizabeth “Nell”
Rose Catherine and Mae Josephine (twins)
August William “Gus”

All my life I’ve always wanted 6 children, 4 girls and 2 boys, so probably,

Emma Jo Chenoweth
Henry Tom Chenoweth
Isobel Charlotte Chenoweth
Mary Cate Chenoweth “Cate”
Edison Lowell Chenoweth
Grace Caroline Chenoweth

I’ve always wanted 4: 2 of each.
I’ve already got 3 but as a set:

Leo Sebastian Coe
Simon Ambrose Nash
Josephine Rosamel Anne (Josie//Fifi)
Cecily Pandora Jane (Celia/Cece)

I wish!

Well, I already have one named Colton Michael. It’s been agreed if we have more, boys will have his name for their middle name and girls will have mine.

Teagan Desiree
Fallon Desiree
Roisin Desiree
Rowan Desiree

Cash Michael
Gage Michael
Rowan Michael
Patrick Michael

I have a diary from when I was 11 in which I did this. I had five children: Sandy, Michael, Lisa, David, and Amy (in that order).

Although I love having sons, I think my ideal name family is all girls and is maybe something like:

Susannah
Eliza
Josephine
Marguerite
Bridget nn Bea

I think I have to stop at five because even in fantasy I start shaking when I imagine having more than five children.

And yes, I know that Bridget/Bea is kind of an outlier, but that was my grandmother’s name and I love it!

Adding onto my kids names: Rigby Harrison (Rig), Miller Thomas (Mills), Wren Charlotte Amity (Birdie), Eloise Cleo Bellamy (Lola) & –
Everett Cabot (Rhett)
Maple Madeline York (Mae)
Poesy Beatrice Dell (Poe)
Agnes Willa Hart (Aggie)
Leo Morrison (Lion)
ohhh i could keep going but i won’t wish that upon myself!
xoxo Viv

If I had 4 girls, I would go with my favorite classics:

Katharine, Caroline, Abigail, and Grace

But I have 3 amazing boys so never got to use any of these!

I would love to know how many kids most name nerds have!

Do you think we have large families just so we can use our favorite names???

Haha, Abeezee, the two never connected for me. But my husband is one of eight kids and I always thought all that naming opportunity was wasted on my parents-in-law, who named them Jane, John, Jone, Tom, Tim…. you get the picture. What any of us could have done with those names!

If I had my way, I would have:

Gideon Kenneth
Daphne Margaret
Jane Amelia
Ezra Calder
Simon Alan
Louisa Jewell

As it is, I have a James Kenneth, and if we have a second, it’ll either be Rhys Calder or Daphne Margaret.

Arlo Harrison (already have him!)
Esther Kate
Daphne Joan

In real life we will probably only have one more (and it will probably end up being another boy since I have a bajillion girl names I love), but this would solve our dilemma since I LOVE Esther and my DH loves Daphne!

Can we share our REAL children’s names, too? (I have ELEVEN children. And no, it wasn’t just so I could use my favorite names. Well, not totally… *wink*)

Morganne Natalia
Brennan Geoffrey
Lliam Donal
Bonny Dianne
Gavin Xavier
Dierdre Marie
Ronan Wainwright
MacKenna Elyse
Grayse Dawn
Avalon Noelle
Eryn Mildred (Millie)

If money were no issue, we’d have five kids.
We already have Linus Matthew, so for the other four:
Milo James
Abraham Henry
Betsy Josephine
Eleanor Anne

Ooh I like this topic!
Agatha Elizabeth Maeve (due in March)
Imogen Olivia Grace
Esme Catherine Anne

Percival Edmund Cian
Augustus Frederick David
Sinjun Lionel Sebastian

I have fallen in love with Sinjun and really want to use it

I may switch it to Sinjun Leopold Sebastian! Lol.

If money and time were no issue…

Andrew Michael (Drew)
Beatrix Lillian (Bea)
India Jean
Grant Ambrose
Penelope Wren (Penny)

Well, I love the two names we’ve already chosen, save for one middle. So, my first two of my dream family stay. Altogether, I’d love to have:

Arabella Lily (Belle/Bella)
Jude Alexander
Nora Hermione
Theodore Noah (Theo/Teddy)
Lyra Rosalie

I wouldn’t be able to name my children all of these names because I don’t like to have a lot of the same letters. As you can see I have a lot of girls names that I love.

Poppy Adelaide
Henry Winston
Camille Alexandria
Peter Joshua
Vera Isabella Jane
Amelia Eloise
Charles Frederick
Viola Rosemund
Coraline Sorrel
Ava Winifred
Grace Sofia
Lousia Margaret
Lucy Eleanor
Linus Gregory (can’t use Charles, Lucy, and Linus all in one family

Ooo wow, so fun, and so difficult! I’m just going to do first names as middles would be too hard!

Emrys (vetoed)
Claudie (our no 1 girl name)
Sophia (too popular to use, but I love it)
Lennox (

Ahh, somehow entered that without finishing!

Emrys (vetoed)
Claudie (our no 1 girl name)
Lennox (on our boys list)
Sophia (too popular to use, but I love it)
Ivy (on our list)
Margot (sounds bad with our surname)
Penelope nn Nell (on our list)
Rafferty nn Rafe (on our list)
Twins – Harriet and Adeline nn Hattie and Addie (on our list too )

I probably wouldn’t differ too much from the names on our list, with the exception of Emrys and Sophia. We’ve thought about the names we agree on and that work with our surname etc so far in advance that I’ve become very attached to them now, and there aren’t too many names I’m sad not to be able to use. Emrys would be the only name I’m still hoping he’ll change his mind on! Ha.

Like most Berries, in a dream world I’d have lots of kids and mostly girls – they’re so much fun to name!

And to respond to a previous poster, I want a large (4-8) family for many reasons but I definitely think one of them is that I want to use lots of my favourite names!

Great challenge.

Wow, so many responses! Apparently we Berries like our fantasy families.

Some of these don’t have middle name matches I love, but here goes. Already having a little Charles Theophilus, it would be delightful to add…

Marcus Ebenezer
Cornelia Margaret (Cora)
Adrian Aquila
Sylvia Pearl
Arthur Nicodemus
Simon Cornelius
Walter Octavian (heh…just for kicks)
Catherine Hermione

Okay, so I just went hog-wild there. I guess with no last name to worry about, there would be some J names in there, too, but I stuck with names I actually want to give my children in real life. (Except Catherine; we know a Catherine and my husband would prefer us not to use names of people we already know. He also hates Cornelia, and the practice of giving a long name just to get a nickname out of it; he’d rather just name them the short name. But I love simple Cora by itself, too, so that is okay with me.)

Correction: I ended up taking away the names without middle names, Jemima and Theodora, and Hermione, which I realized could be a middle name for Catherine. So I do love all those matches.

My “ideal” family would have 2 sets of twins:

Anna Caroline and Rose Catherine
and
Jack Donovan and Liam Patrick

I have been making lists of my fantasy family names since I was so young.
My current favourite names are

Freya Grace
Rafferty Maddox
SaxonHarrison
Alexis Faith
Lucas Corey
Scarlet Hope

If I didn’t have to worry about hubby, last name, or ethnic considerations:

Zipporah Clementine
Shoshanna Meredith
Zuleika Rosalie

Moses Tiberius
Solomon Augustus
Abraham Leonidas

Dylan Tanner
Tristan Jame
Owen Henry
Liam Colton
Connor Aaron
Landon Nicholas

Carys Elizabeth
Marielle Vanessa
Anna Caroline
Estella Jessamine
Esme Doutzen
Behati Rose

I realize that 12 is kind of a lot….

Here goes….

Hector Cyril
Orlando Lucien
Cortez Jasper
Dallas Jabez
Felix Benedict
Olive Vivienne
June Eulalie
Linus Milo
India Jocasta
Aja Clementine

How fun!

Sophie Quinn
Alice Pearl
Henry Levi
Theodore Griffin
Phoebe Adele
Charles Bryson
Eloise Violet
Benjamin Miles

Clara Mathilde
Amelia May (Millie)
Theodore Edward (Theo)
Florence Daphne
Eliza Beatrix

Me well…
I’m Fossil Haertel and my partner is Jacob Payton, my children hmm…
4 I think;
Salome(with an accent) Agatha
Rose Bellatrix
Emmett Simon
Linus Xander

I think we are done having kids and I still have names I would like to use–though I really love all of the names we chose.

Elodie Claire
Cecile Lucie
Lily Belle
Amarantha
Madeleine Blythe (we do have a Madeleine, but her dad vetoed Blythe and I am still irked about it)

Seth Chaplin
Caleb Alexander
Felix Georges
Remy Charles

Aurelia Elizabeth
Irene Catherine
Silas Anthony
Gideon Robert
Astrid Ellen
Xavier Jesse

3 boys 3 girls…we’ll start with that.

This is very fun!

Louis Alexander Lorenz
Etienne Henry Thomas

Imogen Antoinette May
Rosa Emmeline Veronique

(love both the girls names but worry that Imogen is going to become too trendy)

Sebastian Liam (nn Bastian) – I love the name Sebastian, but since my name is Ariel I could never name my son Sebastian (thanks to The Little Mermaid).
Susannah Claire (Anna)
Allegra Rose (Ally) – I go back and forth on whether I would actually name a daughter Allegra, because of the allergy medication. I do love the name though.
Noah Gabriel
Ethan Isaac

I LOVE stuff like this!! I am a HUGE name nerd & have been since I was little (I had my “kids’” names picked out at 10! – I never went with any of them – my tastes changed, but I’m actually starting to go back to some of them). I’ve always wanted multiples, but never had them (my brother did tho – twins!) so my Fantasy Family has many multiples. Here goes:

Aaron Jack
Jason Kyle (Jason was my “childhood name”, I love it again!)
TRIPLETS: Reid Nathaniel
Rhys Mitchell
Rowan Keith
TWINS: Greyson Everett
Gage Dawson

Abigail Elizabeth (nn Abby Liz)
Brooke Elyse
TWINS: Julia Hope
Jillian Kate
Nora Jane or Nora Kimberly (Kimberly was my “childhood name”)
TRIPLETS: Audrina Simone (nn. Audrey)
Autumn Camille
Aurora Eden

And after all that, I’ll have to get my tubes tied & check myself into an insane asylum cuz that’s ALOT of kids!!

Also, I just want to say to “Pam” that I really like the name Bridget & Bea – it’s not too out there – it’s really cute! And to “libermama”, I love two of your middle names cuz my name is Dawn Noelle!!!! I loved reading all of your name choices ladies! What a fun project for us name nerds! Thanks Nameberry!!

I don’t know why it appeals to me so, but I always love the idea of having three boys;

Hunter Philip
Austin Charles
Chase Oliver

I imagine them playing by a pond, catching frogs and building crudely made forts out of sticks. They sound like a blast, don’t they?

I’ll do three of each!

Genevieve Clara
Lorelei Odette
Scarlett Diana

Emmett Jude
Dashiell Brooks
Stefan Lyle

While my mother has 10 kids, the vast naming opportunities were wasted on her: (Lynn Anne, Terri Anne, Robert Alan, Michael James, Kristine Marie, Shawn Michael, Jessica Lynn, Katherine Elizabeth, Lisa Marie, Amanda Kristine)

I want to have just as many, if not more, children than my mother. I’m not sure on what I’d name all of them but these are my five absolute favorites in no particular order:

Hugo
Aldo
Rodrigo
Isadora
Helena

Calliope Olivia (Callie)
Maxon Joseph Icen (Family names), (Max)
Andromeda Caroline (Andy)
Ryker Orion

My name Elinor Saskia J- (Ellie)

I’ve already got my daughter Evelyn… thank goodness hubby likes it too!

In a perfect world the next pregnancy will produce twins named Hamish Michael and Annabel Claire.

Felix Holden Jack
Josephine Helena Claire
Maeve Frances
Jasper Atticus
Olive Beatrice
Matilda Eloise Grace
Juliet Catherine
Henry August
Alice Gennevieve
Beatrix Violet June
Emmeline Pearl
Theodore Walter
Clementine Jane

Wow, that is a lot of kids and i didn’t even use all of my favorite names.

My sons would be Rowan, Sebastian, Emory and Caspian and my daughter would be Noa Sophia Ciel. The boys would have middles too I’ve just no idea what they would be. Maybe Rowan Elliott, sebastian Arrow, Emory Seth and Caspian Emmett.

I’m so enjoying reading these lists. Although Linda usually does the Question or Challenge of the Week, this one was my idea because this is what I used to do in the early days of my name obsession, create families around their names. And reading the lists not only brings back that pleasurable activity but really evokes a feeling for each imaginary family, one dashing and adventurous, another one demure and old-fashioned…

My perfect family would be:
Emily Gemma
Twins Jasper Milo and Oliver Frederick
Triplets Isabella Catherine, Clara Hermione, and Luna Elizabeth
Henry Charles
Twins Lily Beatrice and Violet Adelaide
I can’t possibly imagine having 9 kids, the most would probably be 5. Thank goodness I don’t have to try narrowing it down for a couple decades!

Well, I have always wanted a lot of kids, a boy as the oldest to protect my daughters! and a girl as the youngest lol!
So, my dream family:

James Steven
Tessa Caroline
Diana Vivienne
Aaron Dominic
Noah Alexander
Allegra Chloe and Ariana Victorie (Twins!)

I love classic, traditional, and fashionable names!!

I would never, ever want more than three kids in real life. But here goes.

Lucinda Josephine
Percival James
Marius Jordan
Minerva Wren
Theodore Nigel
Ariel Cordelia

Counting the three children we already have (but changing two of their middle names…)

Rose Araminta
Henry Robert
George Alfred
Lucinda Joy
Frederic Oliver
Beatrice Magnolia & Dorothy Marigold (Bea & Dot)

My absolute perfect family…
Ezekiel Thaddeus (Zeke)
Rosemary Juliet (Rosie)
Willamina Carys (Mina)
Alfred Raoul (Alfie)
Dashiel Orson (Dash)
Elora Amelia Kate (Lora)

Zeke, Rosie, Mina, Alfie, Dash and Lora. Those are the kinds of names I love but probably won’t be able to use…

Can I just say that “Sinjun” is spelled St John?

Okay, including my own three but adding:
Caitlin Emily Louisa
Rachel Gillian Susanna (in a perfect world I didn’t lose Rachel)
Thomas Caleb Alexander

then:
George William Avner
Frederick Louis Nathaniel
Giles Edmund Josiah
Philip David Hugh
Helen Cecily Jane
Martha Angharad Clare
Margaret Avra Rosamund
Branwen Enid Jael

Charlotte Belle (Charlie/Charlie Belle) or Charlotte Auden
Amelie Belle
Louisa Caroline (Lulu)
Jackson Elias (Jack)
Clara Eve
Leah Arwen (or Leia Arwen if I’m feeling especially nerdy, love LOTR and Star Wars!)

Oh — and with nns:

Kate, Rachel, Tom (although my daughter goes by Kitty now)

Geordie, Freddy, Giles, Dai
Helen, Martha, Daisy, Bran

Okay, including my own lovely girl:

Sophia
Flora (nn Posy?)
Cordelia
Elodie (nn Lottie?)
Nikolai (I’ve always been way more into girl names, but to throw in one boy . . .)

These don’t necessarily fit together so well, but it doesn’t matter since we’re stopping at one.

Erica and Sully

First a boy named Sullivan Jr.
Then another boy named Rhett Griffin
Adopt a girl named Ashlyn Marie
Twin girls Gioia Grace and Anastasia Sage
then maybe adopt another boy later on, Connor Samuel

My turn! Yay!

Walter Joseph
Leo Donovan
Edison James
Margaret Claire
Elizabeth Rose
Cecelia Catherine

Girls:
Vera Evangeline
or
Evangeline Pearl
Eleanora Jean (and if she had a twin, Charlotte Mae)
Sarai Hope

Boys:
Coen Samuel
Gabriel Kenneth
Miles Alexander
I also really love Rhett, Reid, and Rhys. (Even though Rhett and Rhys are the same.)

If I had my way in an ideal world, I’d soooooooooo do a flower theme for girls –

Rose
Violet
Aster
Iris
Daphne
Lily

My perfect boys names set would be:

Edward
Alfred
George
Henry
William
Charles

Can not even begin to think of the middles!

Not 100% on middle names, but here it goes:

Girls:
Paige
Natalie
Margaret
Clara

Boys:
Andrew
Charles
Henry
James

Imogen Kate (Immy)
Freya Elinor
Alice Juniper
Helena Ruth (Lena)
Harriet Rosamund (Hattie)
Beatrice Amelia (Bess)

Theodore Henry (Theo)
August Valentine (Gus)
Arthur James

For Girls:
Charlotte
Jamie
Dania
Harper

For Boys:
Trevor
Marc
Bennett
Cameron

Can I just make an ideal family out of all of your amazing ideas, Berries? These are great! I mixed and matched my favorite single names from your suggestions into my ideal “Berry-Family.”

Eliza Jessamine Pearl
Jude Morrison Everett
Phoebe Magnolia Wren
Oliver Holden Lennox
Coraline Esme Louisa
Leo Henry Augustus
Adele Juniper Agnes
Silas Arlo Percival

But, my real ideal family? Eliza Wren, Phoebe Zara, and Jude McGregor.

Lemon

Well my family already has simply perfect names!(not that I would be biased or anything lol )

Husband: Habib Ali
Me: Kathryn Coleen Dozier Quine Ali

Twin Girls:
Lily Inaya Ali
Aili Nevaeh Ali

Little Man:
Malachi Khayus Perseus Ali

Making those up right now and loving it.

Hermione Philippa Iris
Tobias Lucius Heathcliff
Viola Clemency Jane
Amalia Juliet Isobel
Lucile Moira Caroline
Theodore Oliver Basil
Rowena Plum Katharine
Dorian Benedict Mathias
Harriet Austria Susan
Georgiana Elinor Liesl

Well, lets see. These are my current favorite names!

Nora Stephanie
Christopher Joseph “Chris”
Imogen Amy “Ginny”
Hugo James
Willa Elizabeth
Jude Arthur
Philippa Marion “Pippa”

I felt as if I’d been let loose in a candy store and told to take as much as I could carry! I loved reading everyone else’s lists, too. My ideal dream family has always been twelve children, six boys and six girls, and even with that many it was terribly difficult to narrow down the choices. I did this when I was about ten years old, also, so:
My list THEN:

Robert Isaac
Nathan Samuel
Zebulun Ishmael
Joel Peter
Abram Mark
Emmanuel Jordan
Anna Mercy
Judith Rachel
Leah Amber
Autumn Rebekah
Abigail Aspen
Judy Fannah

My list NOW:

Tobias Hugh Justice
James Haven Deliverance
Shadrach Hananiah
Phineas Caedmon
Stefan Barnabas Jude
Ransom Horatius
Una Marguerite
Mairi Susanna Jean
Evangeline Clara Joy
Alice Elisabeth
Eden Reverie
Eulalia Glory

I’d like a set of twins or two in there, but I don’t know where! This was so much fun.

I would use:

For girls:

Helena (pronounced like “Ellen” with an “a”)
Victoria
Delfina
Irina
Catalina
Clementina

For boys:

Baltazar
Benjamín
Sixto
Federico
Juan Ignacio

Marco Antonio, Gianluca Vangelis, Matteo Evangelos (triplets)
Rachel Ann
Maurizio Jose
Juan Dario
Julieta Carmina or Julieta Carmine
Juan David or Juan Davide
Angelica Melody (because it sound like angelical melody hahaha it must be December!!)
Ernesto Giovanni (Gio)
Jose Roberto
David and Daniel (twins)
Jonathan
Juan Giuseppe
Rosa Lia Coco
Italo
Ivanka, Irinna (twins again)
I didn’t think too much about it, I just let my mind flow, and I forgot about lastname in order to think freely, some of this names are a surprise to me….I choose them by personality carried in the name, not for being my favorites….I am not sure how they sound in real voice….may be a mess, not really sure if they could work in real world.
My ideal family will have a lot of boys and only a few girls, and at least 1 set of triplets, or twins at least.
Weird thing, they are 19 children names, I just counted until I ended, and that was the amount of brothers my grandpa had. If I only were my great-grandma =D

For some reason boys’ names appeal more to me than girls’ names right now, although I think I’d like having girls better. Being Southern, there are some splendid boys’ names on my father’s side of the family (Hardy Elijah, anyone? Although I think he was the great-grandfather who was legendary for rolling in drunk to church, so maybe not. )

Boys:

Callum Elias (Elias is a great-grandfather from generations back)
Gabriel Ezra (or vice versa)
Henry Isaac
Luke Elliott
Milo Ephraim

Girls:

Rory Alexandra
Imogen Violet (“Ivy” could be a cute nickname. Get it? I.V.?)
Ariane Rebekah (my favorite choice from college, but I don’t know if I would name a child that today. Ariane was Audrey Hepburn’s character in “Love in the Afternoon”)
Annika Rose
Mira Ingrid

But I don’t plan on having kids, so this is moot.

Kirstan (my 3 yo)
Hartley Amethyst,
Felicity Peyton,
Irelys Alexia-Sage ,
Romulus Midnight

Hmm, my fantasy family would be close to my reality! My two little boys plus two sisters to join them

So right now:

Quinn Alexander (almost 3 yo)
Griffin Maxwell (almost 1 yo)
Georgiana Peregrine
Adair Seraphina

And that would be it for me. I don’t think I’d intentionally have more than four even in a fantasy world. I’m not a clown car.. those babies have to come out of somewhere

I’m hoping to use Georgiana Peregrine if we have a daughter the next time we try to conceive. Maybe my dream will come true and it’ll be twin girls

My Ideal family would have to be

(twins) Phoenix Daniel & Hendrix Steven

Bowie Zane

Bailey Damien

Blayze Joseph

Aleksandra Jessica

Cryant James

Harper Lisa

Acacia Leigh

I dont think I will ever have that many kids and obviously I have more names for boys picked out but If I had to I’d probably go with Bowie Zane and Cryant James. and girls Harper Lisa and Aleksandra Jessica one of Each would be Bowie and Harper or the other way around.

Oh my you have let us loose now! LOL!

I have oh so many names…I really wish I would have given my son two middle names looking back. So here are my names with two middles…most of those are family names.

Linnea Phoebe Blythe
Ravenna Daphne Eliza
Gwyneth Magnolia Caroline
Finola Bryony Antonia
Josephine Imogen Nora

Bennett Harris Victor
Rafferty Theron Jude
Thaddeus Bryant Achilles
Gannon Alistair Vaughn
Dashiell Theo Lachlan

10 kids…why not?! )

Eloise Plum
Oscar Levi
Oliver Lemuel
Leonie Mereille
Leo Alan
Adaline Plum
(I really like Plum)
Most of these have already been vetoed. I also like Clementine, Wallace, Olive, Posy, and Milo.

This is hard to narrow down, even without many constraints! Using family middle names and self-imposing the non-repeating first initial rule.

Greta Helen
Tess Louise
Frances Jewel (nn Francie or Frannie)
Daphne Emma
Callum Stuart (nn Cal)
Milo James
Reid Morris

Without My Hubs input, we cannot agree on very many names, I have come up with MY perfect family names, I only want two children but Hubs wants 4 so we’ll go with his number.

Hank Levi
Parker Rosalie
Brady Joseph
Lillian Adele

We have “real” ones we have agreed on but these would be my perfect names for 2 boys 2 girls.

My “perfect” family would be whatever God blesses me with, but without any nay-saying from the hubby, I would choose the following names:
boys:
Evander Freedom nn Van,
and Elijah Honor nn Eli; twins
Job Valor
Shepherd Patriot
Tolliver Truett

girls:
Ellie-Ava Liberty
Vivienne Glory
Josephine Temperance

boys’ names are so much easier for me than girls’ names

This is a great challenge. What amazing names! My list would be:

boys:
Henry Joseph
Thomas Elliot
William John

girls:
Julia Marie
Amelia Anne
Elizabeth Grace

Satyana Rosemarie <3
Milo Douglas
Rose Arabella
Flynn Nathaniel
Eva Willow
Orion August
Maeve Charlotte

That's a whole bunch of kids!

Anna Caroline and Rose Catherine
and
Jack Donovan and Liam Patrick

Lilith Eve
Orion Arthur & Julius Claud (twins)

I’ve always thought having twins would be fun.

I definetly want a fairly large family (5-8 kids). I also like the idea of having multiples (twins or triplets, but I will take whatever God chooses to give me. I don’t have any kids yet, but I want to include at least one family/special meaning name for each and have two middles for each. At this point my kids would be in order:
Jack Theodore William (boy)
Willow Calla Noel (girl)
Hunter Guinevere Lula (girl)
Cooper Mason Dale (boy)
Kylie Amelia Jane (twin girl)
Piper Addison Louise (twin girl)
Ryan Christina Mary (girl)
Bereich Carter Leo (boy)

I really don’t know! This would be very hard for me, but some of m,y gulity pleasure names are: tiara, snow, blaze, blare, december,fleur febrary and bear, ryder and nick

Miranda Astreaus Ray

I’m only 14 (I go on here for character names) but I know what I’d like to name my kids:
Lauren Kelly (after my friend Kelly)
Tallulah Clementine (I think that is the cutest name ever)
And twins Lily Eponine (I’m an actress) and Noah James

I like:
Honora Clare
Laurel (Not sure about a middle name- although I like Alida, one of my best friends names, so Laurel Alida)
(and I would like a boys name but I just haven’t really found any yet.
-Apart from Dante (Don-tay) which rhymes with my name- Bronte (Bron-tay) which pretty much rules that one out..
I also like both Hugo & Louis (Lou-ee) But then there’s already Honora and Laurel so 2 L’s or 2 H’s?? I don’t think so..

I’m gonna go cheaper by the dozen style:)
In this order:

Justin Jamario David(JJ)
Ella Gene Violet
Angel Eugene Gabriel
Nala Graciella Hope
Markell Damien Xavier
Augustana Dawn Skye
Jesse Rashad James
Aubrey Jade Azrael
Marley Ava Juliet
Atticus Matthew Tyler

Oh goodness, I have several different perfect families stored up. If I was going with more unusual names:

triplet boys: Judah,Bram,and Raleigh
and little sister: Shiloh
Can’t you just imagine her trailing on along behind them with her Teddy while they run around together, speaking their secret language?

And if I was going more traditional:
Margaret (sometimes Maggie)
Gilbert
Rose

I just love reading everyone’s names!

I would have four children:

Kyrie Lillian (KEE-ree-ay)
Carillon Audrey
B/B Twins: Jack Anthony & Xavier William

I would want 3 children. 2 boys and 1 girl since me and my partner have enough annoying sisters.

Parents: Alyssa Lauren & Tyler James Patin

Oldest (Boy): Gaven -working on middle name-

2nd (Girl): Lexie Grace or Surie Klaire

3rd (Boy): Cayden Cole or Cayne Rien
-Cayden sounds like my twin brother Aadynn and Cayne is named after my oldest brother Kayne who passed away September 2010.

My Perfect Family

Parents: Jaylyn Amanda & Matthew Christopher

Oldest: Aubree Caroline
Middle: Addison Marie
Youngest: Ava Elizabeth

Jaylyn & Matt have Aubree, Addi & Ava.

OR

Parents: Jaylyn Amanda & Matthew Christopher

Oldest: Hattie Elizabeth
Youngest: Audrey Caroline

Jaylyn & Matt have Hattie & Audrey.

My name= Maeghan Hilary
Future hubby= Adam Webster
Last Name= starts with B, four letters, one syllable.

Ideal family with no financial restrictions or other restrictions is 3 boys, one girl in that order.

1. Luca Adam
2. Sullivan Webster
3. Elijah Ian
3. Leia Mae OR Maeve Hilary

In reality I would never use Luca and Leia in a sibset- too much star wars! But they are my top names…so it depends which I have first!

Already having my daughter Angelina Christine, and pregnant with my first son, I have a few names in mind!
For our son, we like
Matthew Luke
Cayden Cole
Cole Christopher
Luca Anthony

After our son is born, I hope to have at least one more baby, hopefully another little girl!
I like Blake Rose
Reese Lynne
Talia Marie
Tori Ann
Sophia Grayse

As for our son, who is due any day now, we still have no clue which name to choose. I am totally stuck! My favorite two are Luca and Matthew. I just cannot decide! I don’t really want to name my children’s first names after anyone in my family, or friends, and Matthew is my cousins’s name. So maybe that will help me decide(:

I would probably want all girls (sorry boys):

Jasper Willow (nn Jazzy)
Emiya Jay (nn Emmy)
Indigo Blue (nn Indy)
Elektra Quinn (nn Elly)

Or just twins:
Elektra Blue
Indigo Sapphire

Delaney Pauline
Molly Patricia
Tessa Mary
Ellery Claire
Clara Marie

Colton Joseph
Liam Arthur

Joseph James “JJ”
Harrison George
Charles Xavier “Charlie”
Declan Thomas
Henry Orion

My ideal family

Me: Zoe Estelle Rose Skinner
Husband: Christian Skinner

Bellatrix Michele Skinner
Matthew Ashlyn Skinner
Narcissa Mortisha Rose Skinner

Javier Alejandro
Rose Diana
Xavier Luke

I’d probably have six. Three boys and three girls.

Samuel Oscar
Ellis Matthew

Lily May
Eva Grace
Sophia Paris

Henrietta Louise
Beatrice June
Oliver Holden
Theodore Ernest

Oh gosh… I have so many names… Okay, this isn’t necessarily MY family, but here are the name combinations I came up with to pick from when the time comes. “Mitchell” and “Angela” are for sure going to happen, though lol.

Boys:
Mitchell Ryne “Mitch” in front of his friends, “Mitchie” when they’re not around lol
Jared Shane
Kyle James
Casey Oliver
Gage Arthur
Jason Morgan (General Hospital, anyone? haha)

Dad Garret Nathan Kelly
Adelaide Cadence Kelly (Adele)
Felix Travis Kelly
Perseus Dashiell Kelly (Percy)
Annabeth Zadie Kelly

River Nesta (Rio)

Niran Hendrix

Girls
Valentina Starr (Nina or Nala)
Octavia Skye(In spanish ‘v’ is pronounced ‘b’ so it would be Tabia/Tabby)

Ever since I was little I’ve wanted a huge family (8-12 kids). Yes, I am a mother so I realize how much work 12 kids would be, but every time I hold someone else’s newborn I can’t help desiring more children. They are such work yet such blessings!

Anyway these are the names I came up with if I could name all dozen children right now.
Eldon Richards
Ulrik Luther
Anastasia JoAnne
Isabella Truth
Paladin Bruce
Gregor Horatio
Gwenyth Emmeline
Octavia Eloise
Fortitude Allen

And if I had a December/Christmas baby girl I would probably swap out one of the above names for
Holiday Winter Rose nn Holi

Leo Mercer
Maia Juliette
Blake Robert
Sora Madeline
Aria Charlotte

Julian Avery

I’d want my oldest to be a boy, then a girl, then twin girls!

Girl : Waverly Elize (nn Wavie)
Twins: Everly Winslowe (nn Ever) and Lux Aloy

And to go REALLY crazy…

Kit, Evie, Gwen, Annie, Ash, Alec and Edie.

The list could go on. To be honest, I asked my husband if we could use 2 middle names just so i could cram more of my favourites in!

Omg…I don’t know but here goes…..
I already have Diesel Jonathan Liam
Next… Harlowe Nonnah Luccille
Then… Lincoln Oliver James
Lavender Noelle Whisper
Rembrandt Archer Hendrick
….this is hard…..I would have to think really hard past 5

Maybe …..I’d add….
Alizanthia Indigo Ocean
Aries Leopold Hawthorne
They would have to be twins and Dapne and Diesel could be twins but in reality Daphne is my cat……
Pirate Jackson Raines
Draven Jacqueline Evangeline
Catalina Rose Sparrow
Alistair Jean Michel

I always imagine that I have four kids who all have H names…

Harry Milo
Heath Sawyer
Hermione Diana
Hazel Margaret

Always wanted three boys and four girls to be named:
Girls:
Annabel Marie Wren (Belle)
Gwendolyn Ginnelle (Gwen)
Aria Noelle Mae (Rina)
Willamina Rose Anette (Willa)
Boys:
Darcy Ray Harrison
Jonathon Alec Christopher (Jace)
Skyler Shea Elias

oh and maybe Wren Elizabeth Primrose (Birdie) and Julian Tiberius Kirk (Jules)

Margaret Jane (Meg)
Lucy Alice
Eleanor Rosalind (Ella)

James Alastair (Jamie)
Alfred William (Fred or Alfie)
George Elias

If I was feeling adventurous:
Felix Fabien
Esmeralda Esperanza
Ursula Valencia
Mariska Mireya
Baltazar Bartolome and Edmond Eleazar (twins)

after thinking for another while:

Margaret Jane (Meg)
Eleanor Alice

George Elias
James Alastair

There’s enough people on this earth anyway

Penelope Alice Clara (“Polly”)
Cordelia Phoebe Rose (“Coco”)
Emmeline Hermione Matilda (rather a mouthful) (“Millie”)

Theodore Peter Caspian (“Teddy/Theo”)
Felix Jude Edmund

Stella Jane
Carina Noelle
Olivia Mary
Sophie Alexandra
Sybil Kathryn

Felix Jospeh
Seth Nicholas
Nolan Daniel
Thomas Quinn
Harmon Robert

But having more than 3 of each would definitely require some kind of medication.

Agatha Leigh
Domenica Mireille (Carly)
Lydia Elizabeth (Liddy)
Eugenie Cordelia (Jenny)

Gregory Joseph (Rory)
