Inspired by @may.rose’s 3+ middles thread & @clair.de.lune’s 2+ middles thread:
Completely unrealistically, how many kids would you have to have to use all of your top names? Would you end up with 10 sets of octuplets or 4 kids with 7 middles each? And of course, what would their names be?
Oh gosh so many 
For girls I’d have to have 21 and for boys I’d have to have 16 if I’m just using each name once and not using middle names from my list. I recently redid my list otherwise there would be way more!
For the sake of this question, I’ll just pair favorites together to make a first and middle! Their names would be…
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Della[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Marcella[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_u]Haven[/name_u]
[name_f]Adella[/name_f] [name_f]Winslet[/name_f]
[name_f]Evelina[/name_f] [name_f]Lorelai[/name_f]
[name_u]Waverly[/name_u] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Esme[/name_u]
[name_u]Haven[/name_u] [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f]
[name_f]Ayla[/name_f] [name_u]Rue[/name_u]
[name_u]Crosby[/name_u] [name_m]Wells[/name_m]
[name_u]Lennox[/name_u] [name_u]Griffin[/name_u]
[name_u]Dawson[/name_u] [name_u]Jasper[/name_u]
[name_m]Winston[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] [name_u]Leon[/name_u]
[name_m]Fitzgerald[/name_m] [name_u]Leander[/name_u]
[name_m]Merrick[/name_m] [name_f]Wendall[/name_f]
[name_m]Just[/name_m] my top names.
[name_f]Constance[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_u]Jade[/name_u]
[name_f]Muriel[/name_f] [name_f]Amara[/name_f] [name_f]Lainey[/name_f]
The reason I chose [name_f]Constance[/name_f] is because [name_f]Amara[/name_f] [name_u]Everly[/name_u] [name_m]Thorne[/name_m], which is more of a top combo, is on par with [name_f]Unice[/name_f] and whatever her middles will become (Aerith/Ardith Elsie/Ellie) and I wouldn’t use my very top combos as baby names. [name_f]Muriel[/name_f] was up there but she’s slowly falling.
I do also feel that if I used my most favourite names on babies they would lose their shine a little (which is half the reason I’m not having any).
I’m just going to start with the ‘absolute faves’ using 2 middles, so let’s see…
Sarai Ginevra Opal
Cherith Tansy Adair
Una Clementine Bronte
Mabli Keziah Winter
Embla Mavis Naren
Carys Ilaria Rosfrith
Katri Lois Tallulah
Tristan Rafferty August
Sholto Evander Robin
Forrest Caspian Brynmor
Ozias Peregrine Lorcan
Isidore Linus Rowan
Leander Otto Jasper
so thirteen kids?
But let’s experiment with three middles (and narrowing it down a little):
Sarai Ginevra Opal Rosfrith
Cherith Ilaria Tansy Adair
Una Carys Tallulah Bronte
Mabli Keziah Lois Embla
Tristan Rafferty Leander August
Sholto Evander Linus Robin
Ozias Lorcan Peregrine Jasper
Forrest Caspian Brynmor Otto
so eight?
this was kind of fun 
love the inspiration, hannah <3

[name_m]Colin[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_f]Marianne[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]
Going off of my most recent favorites while still following my no repeating first initial rule, I’d have…

today i’ll settle for…
frances wilma
junella myrtle alice
pearl eveline
beatrice verda rose
nona temperance
frannie + june + pearl + bea + nona 
john robert
herschel fielding merritt
thatcher amos
ennis waymon george
calhoun destry
bo + herschel + thatch + ennis + cal 
Oh, fun!
I think I would have to have three girls and one boy. These are the four that I’m feeling very attached to at the moment.
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Aviva[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_m]Bastian[/name_m]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] & [name_u]Finn[/name_u].
I’m not thrilled about the flow of [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f], but B is a special honor initial. And it’s celestial and means ‘female warrior’. All pretty cool! I’m also not thrilled about the flow of [name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_m]Bastian[/name_m], but I want another B to honor about B person, and I love [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] more than any other B name. 
I think to use my top top favs, it would be six, but to use all of my favs probably 20+ 
The six would have to be:
[name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_u]Esme[/name_u] [name_u]Larkspur[/name_u]
[name_f]Clelia[/name_f] [name_f]Selene[/name_f] [name_m]Hopewell[/name_m]
[name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] [name_u]Mayfair[/name_u]
[name_m]Daphnis[/name_m] [name_u]Holden[/name_u] [name_u]Blythe[/name_u]
[name_m]Lysander[/name_m] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]
[name_m]Laertes[/name_m] [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] [name_u]Meridian[/name_u]
[name_u]August[/name_u], [name_f]Clio[/name_f], [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f], [name_m]Daphnis[/name_m], [name_u]Sandy[/name_u], & [name_m]Lars[/name_m] 
To use my all-time favourites, it would be four 
[name_u]Kelsey[/name_u] [name_f]Azalea[/name_f]
[name_f]Hayley[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f] (Faith isn’t necessarily a favourite, I just love it with Hayley)
[name_m]Calvin[/name_m] [name_u]Carter[/name_u]
[name_u]Nico[/name_u] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]
Using my most current name list:
[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_u]Marian[/name_u] [name_u]Rose[/name_u]
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Anya[/name_f] [name_f]Linnea[/name_f]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Laszlo[/name_m]
[name_u]Timothy[/name_u] [name_m]Edwin[/name_m]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_u]Eliot[/name_u]
[name_u]Rudy[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_u]Jack[/name_u]
[name_u]Jesse[/name_u] [name_m]Lewis[/name_m]
Now with 3 middles:
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]
[name_f]Anya[/name_f] [name_u]Marian[/name_u] [name_u]Rose[/name_u]
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f] [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_u]Rudy[/name_u] [name_m]Edwin[/name_m] [name_u]Jack[/name_u]
[name_u]Eliot[/name_u] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_m]Lewis[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_u]Timothy[/name_u] [name_m]Laszlo[/name_m]
[name_u]Jesse[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Bonnibel[/name_f] [name_f]Myfanwy[/name_f] [name_f]Lilias[/name_f]
[name_f]Mossie[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Demetria[/name_f]
[name_f]Girasol[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_u]Finnegan[/name_u] [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] [name_u]Henry[/name_u]
[name_m]Barnabas[/name_m] [name_u]Jay[/name_u] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Redmond[/name_m] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
So I’d say 8
Turns out I’d have 16 kids and if I’d let myself choose more favorites they’d each have 4 more middles 
[name_u]Blair[/name_u] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_u]Greer[/name_u]
[name_f]Flavie[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Amity[/name_f] [name_f]Octavia[/name_f]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_u]Fable[/name_u]
[name_u]Blanche[/name_u] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_f]Lenora[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]
[name_u]Celeste[/name_u] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f]
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Dorian[/name_u]
[name_u]Finley[/name_u] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Alistair[/name_m] [name_m]Finnian[/name_m]
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_u]Atlas[/name_u]
[name_u]Griffin[/name_u] [name_m]Wilbur[/name_m]
[name_m]Léandre[/name_m] [name_m]Felix[/name_m]
Émile [name_u]Wesley[/name_u]
[name_m]Percival[/name_m] [name_m]Soren[/name_m]
I always have like 6 realistic top combos, but I could go on for ages with names I adore. Albeit, when I find a new favourite name I always try to pair it with a name I already love and/ or an honour name so I could go through my top names pretty quickly. Here’s my current list:
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_u]Louise[/name_u] ‘Rory’
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_u]Fable[/name_u]
[name_f]Estella[/name_f] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] ‘Stellie’
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Lenore[/name_f] ‘Sylvie’
[name_u]Elijah[/name_u] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_m]Fletcher[/name_m] [name_u]Blake[/name_u]
[name_u]Harlow[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Jasper[/name_u] [name_u]Davis[/name_u]
[name_u]Jesse[/name_u] [name_u]Brennan[/name_u]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_u]Dean[/name_u]
Technically my ideal sibset with names that work together i.e. similar popularity, not too close in sound mostly, and no repeated middles is about 15 girls and 13 boys, so 28 kids . If I had to narrow it done though:
[name_f]Pandora[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Clio[/name_f]
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u] [name_f]Valkyrie[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f]
[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Cherry[/name_f]
[name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]
[name_f]Morgana[/name_f] [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_u]Tempest[/name_u]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Hestia[/name_f] [name_f]Wildrose[/name_f]
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Fae[/name_f]
[name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Sahar[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Xena[/name_f] or [name_f]Ziva[/name_f] adds two more faves)
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] [name_u]George[/name_u]
[name_m]Lysander[/name_m] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_m]Ptolemy[/name_m] [name_u]William[/name_u] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]
[name_m]Horatio[/name_m] [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m]
[name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] [name_m]Isidore[/name_m] [name_u]Emrys[/name_u]
[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_m]Zephram[/name_m] [name_m]Taavi[/name_m]
[name_m]Cedric[/name_m] [name_u]Timothy[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_m]Jesper[/name_m] [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m] [name_u]Kit[/name_u]
[name_u]Valentine[/name_u] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]
I’d end up with far too many kids haha. I’ll try my best and narrow it down to six names each.
[name_f]Odette[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] ‘’ [name_f]Odette[/name_f] ‘’
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] [name_f]Jayne[/name_f] ‘’ [name_f]Lola[/name_f] ‘’
[name_f]Katinka[/name_f] [name_u]Esme[/name_u] ‘’ [name_f]Tinka[/name_f] ‘’
[name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] ‘’ [name_f]Flora[/name_f] ‘’
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] ‘’ [name_f]Delphi[/name_f] ‘’
[name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] ‘’ [name_f]Belle[/name_f] ‘’
[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] ‘’ [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] ‘’
[name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] ‘’ [name_u]Jude[/name_u] ‘’
[name_m]Romeo[/name_m] [name_m]Niklaus[/name_m] ‘’ [name_m]Romeo[/name_m] ‘’
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Leonardo[/name_m] ‘’ [name_m]Cas[/name_m] / [name_m]Casper[/name_m] ‘’
[name_m]Malakai[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] ‘’ [name_u]Mal[/name_u] / [name_u]Kai[/name_u] ‘’
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_m]Olivier[/name_m] ''Eden ‘’
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] [name_m]Lucian[/name_m] ‘’ [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] ‘’
I’d end up with five girls and three boys - [name_u]Rose[/name_u], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] and [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] - a lot of kids, but not as many as other berries! Using my ultimate, ultimate favourites I’d only have [name_u]Rose[/name_u] and [name_u]James[/name_u] 
I would end up with (not considering flowy sibsets or cohesiveness)…
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Molly[/name_f]
[name_f]Layla[/name_f] [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Enid[/name_f]

[name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_u]Eliott[/name_u]
[name_m]Oskar[/name_m] [name_m]Conrad[/name_m]
