Cheaper by the dozen!

Baby Name Games
1

I recently read Cheaper by the Dozen and was wondering what I would name my kids if I have 12, and I also know a family with 12 kids!

So the rules are very simple: decide how many boys and girls you want (6/6, 5/7, 2/10, etc.), then write their first name and middle name(s), and how far apart they are in age, also note if there a multiple births (twins, triplets, etc.)

Here is mine:

  • I have 6 boy and 6 girls
  • They are about 2 years apart in age

Their names are:

  1. Tuvia [name]James[/name] [name]Valiant[/name]

  2. [name]Seraphina[/name] [name]Coralie[/name] [name]Grace[/name]

  3. [name]Anastasia[/name] Alora [name]Hope[/name] (twin of [name]Israel[/name])

  4. [name]Israel[/name] [name]Benjamin[/name] [name]Honor[/name] (twin of [name]Anastasia[/name])

  5. [name]Orlando[/name] [name]David[/name] [name]Valor[/name]

  6. [name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Vivian[/name] [name]Liberty[/name]

  7. [name]Rowan[/name] [name]Lincoln[/name] Patriot (twin of [name]Wesley[/name])

  8. [name]Wesley[/name] [name]Elijah[/name] [name]Noble[/name] (twin of [name]Rowan[/name])

  9. [name]Freya[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] [name]Mercy[/name]

  10. [name]Elena[/name] [name]Christiana[/name] [name]Faith[/name]

  11. [name]Niall[/name] [name]Gideon[/name] [name]Justice[/name]

  12. [name]Priscilla[/name] [name]Esther[/name] [name]Peace[/name]

P.S. What do you think of my names? You don’t have to answer that if you don’t want to!
