    What number of children is the most that you would have

    And what would you call them if:

    a- they were all boys?

    b- they were all girls?

    BQ. Also what do you really want to have and would you be disappointed if you had the complete opposite from what you had wanted??

    Technically you could have twins on the last pregnancy....

    I think three would be my limit, although realistically I'll probably just have one or two. By the time I have a hypothetical second child, I'll be at least 34, so I like to think there's a chance I'd have twins

    a -- Bram Sebastian, Raphael Amos, Loki Silas -----> Bram, Rafe, and Loki

    b -- Violet Thisbe, Zola Florence, Ophelia June -----> Violet, Zola, and Ophelia

    BQ -- Probably two, maybe three but only if there was a twin pregnancy. I probably won't intentionally try for a third. I don't care about the sex of the babies.

    Well, I'm 30 now, and first one is coming in six weeks, so I can't see myself having more than five. Maybe six if we're lucky! We both want tons of kids.

    Girls:
    Fiammetta Ophelia Noor, Circe Halcyon Tinuviel, Hespera Roselaine Arden, Illyria Charis Terpsichore, Morgana Eos Zephyrine (Ceridwen Chione Solenne)

    Boys (still working on these):
    Evander Endymion Westfall, Orpheus Rainier Wayland, Faramond Hector Loxias, Herne Percival Tiberius, Orlando Alaric Zohar (Altair Lodestar Emrys)

    I really want a girl to do all girlie things with, but I'd be happy either way. And I would like at least one of each. If I had five children I'd like two girls and three boys, or three girls and two boys.

    Girls: Aira Rose Adelaide, Eilidh Clara Valentine and Bridie Scarlett Viola.

    Boys: Joseph Rory Michael, Edmond John Meirion and August Eli Benedict. (Jory, Ned and Gusto)

    I would have as many children as I could afford. But realistically I would like five. If they were all boys I'd be so happy as I really want boys - they'd be; Tobias Henry, Isaac Amadeus, Sebastian James, Sidney Alexander, and Edmund Tempest. Five girls on the other hand would be a nightmare (naming wise) they'd possibly be; Melody Marie, Georgina Grace, Lucia Skye, Arianna Ember, and Summer Alexandra.
    Current Loves: Tobias Henry, Roberta Brooke, and Sebastian James

    I have a girl and a boy, in that order, and that's actually most of the way to the family I imagined myself having since I was in college. I'd love to have 2 girls and a boy in the order girl, boy, girl. So, I guess that puts my limit at 3, but if the last pregnancy were twins, I don't think I'd complain but we'd certainly stop after that .

    All girls: Arabella Nicole, Clara Hermione, Rosalind Lyra, Theodora Alice
    All boys: Jude Alexander, Theodore August, Dashiell Noah, Ezra Samuel

    Would I be disappointed if I didn't get the gender set I want? No, I don't think so. I'd imagine it's hard to be upset about anything when you have your sweet little baby in front of you. It won't really matter if we have another girl or boy.
    Current loves: Theodore & Rosalind

    Mommy to Arabella and Jude

    I'd love to have four children, but my husband would rather have 3.
    If I did have four though their names would be:

    Boys:
    Thatcher Dawson Lee
    Lincoln John Sparrow
    Jasper Robert Reid
    Alexander Harold Shaw, "Xander"

    Girls:
    Winifred Ivy Lynne, "Fred"
    Dorothea Brier Pearl, "Dot"
    Bridget Georgia June, "Bridie"
    Henrietta Olive Erin, "Etta"

    I'd like to have one of each, but other than that the gender doesn't matter to me.

    20-something year old woman; newlywed; name obsessed

    Currently loving:

    Bridie; Jocelyn; Winifred

    Jasper; Lochlan; Thatcher
