Lol… I only want 4… 
[name]How[/name] many children do you want and do you feel sad about not using all your favourite names?
I want five at the most. I wouldn’t complain if I had six (ha), but realistically, we’re looking at three or four. So…I don’t know! I think I’ll just use my all-time favorite names on the ones I do have (assuming their daddy likes the names too) and then force the rest on my nieces, nephews, grandchildren…etc. 
I want only one child, but I love more than 10 names. I was thinking about giving my child two middle names or even all my favorites. But I can’t give it more than one.

lol good idea! i do actually think that i might consider 5 children too but definately no more.
Well, that’s partly why I, if I decide to have children in the future, want to give them three names each. As [name]Uma[/name] [name]Thurman[/name] said after giving her daughter five given names, “I probably wouldn’t get to have any more children, so I just put every name that I liked into her name”. I’m not gonna go as extreme as [name]Uma[/name], obviously, but I do think that’s a good way to go. Especially because I, personally, would never interfere in the naming of any future grandchildren (naming a child is a job for the parents, not anyone else).
I only want two children… However, right now I have 0 top names, so I actually want more children than I’d be able to name right now lol
I want 2 so yeah it does make me a little sad that i won’t get to use every name I love. But i know how much my tastes for names have changed, and even from before being pregnant to now and trying to actually apply them to a real baby rather than a theoretical one they’ve changed again. That’s possibly because when I was thinking about my faves before actually being pregnant, Hubby’s opinion didn’t count, and now that naming is a joint project we’re steering away from some names more toward others…
Point is - i don’t worry about it too much because I know that each child we have will get the name thats perfect for them, and that makes me feel ok about not using other names i love… besides - there’s always future pets to name as well!
I want 4-6, but realistically? I’m a twentysomething grad student in the humanities. And the economy sucks. I’ll be lucky if I can afford to have one. But if I do only have a singlet, they’re going to have one hell of a name. [name]Eloise[/name] [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Iris[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Sailor[/name] [name]Jane[/name] [name]Sylvie[/name] [name]Marigold[/name], anyone? Or how about [name]Simon[/name] [name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Roscoe[/name] [name]Thaddeus[/name] [name]Zephyr[/name] [name]Wallace[/name] [name]Jasper[/name] [name]Jude[/name]?
I have 5 and would love a bunch more but I’m heading towards my late 30s so I’ll feel quite blessed if we have one or two more.
I feel I’ve run out of favorite boy names. Dh has one more favorite left and we’ll use it for a next son. After that I have no idea what we’ll do. The only favorites we haven’t used is [name]Thomas[/name] which conflicts with our last name and [name]Luke[/name] and [name]John/name that have been used by his immediate family already.
I have two boys and am expecting boy #3. We found naming our first two really easy ([name]Sam[/name] & [name]Finn[/name]) but we’re finding naming our third boy really hard.
I think we want about 4 or 5 kids. I’m one of 4 and OH is one of 6 and we both enjoy having a ‘large’ family. I think if we had another boy though, we would struggle for names! I just hope we have all girls after this one because we have so many girls names that we are dying to use! [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Lucia[/name], [name]Hazel[/name], [name]Nova[/name]… Swoon!
I would probably have 10 children if my husband (and my health) would allow it! Instead I think baby number 3 will be our last. I have chosen each name based on what feels right for the baby as well as what we both equally love. I do hope one day in the distant future we will be able to adopt a special needs child, I have wanted to since I was a child, and that maybe I will get to give another child a name then
I have like twenty names in mind. But I only want two to four kids.
I’d have a lot more in mind if it weren’t for family members. I love the name [name]John[/name], but there’s a [name]Jon[/name] in the family already. It would be too confusing. I also like [name]Michael[/name], but there’s a [name]Mike[/name] in the family. I also love [name]Abbie[/name] and [name]Lynsey[/name], but there are babies named [name]Abbie[/name] and [name]Lynsey[/name] in the family as well! My husband has such a huge family, but I love em.
I do plan to use [name]Katie[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name], even though there’s a [name]Katie[/name] in the family. I’ve loved the name [name]Katie[/name] since I was a little girl, and I won’t let anything stop me from using it. (I actually really like the [name]Katie[/name] in our family, anyway.) I’m planning on calling her by her first and middle name around family so it’s not too confusing. I’m friends with a [name]Mary[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name], and I love the sound of her name. So it’s kind of a combination of the two.
My absolute musts:
[name]Katie[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Kylie[/name] [name]Jade[/name]
[name]Brandon[/name] [name]Adam[/name]
Realistically, two, maybe three. If possible, six.
I would like to adopt as many possible, yet only have one or two myself.
I thought I had my names together, but after making a new list, I found some that I may like more. Only thing that stays consistent, is my name adoration for [name]Caspian[/name]. Yet I really don’t have any middle names yet. Go Figure!
I have narrowed my girl names to a top four that I MUST use and have shoved them together to make two combos for two girls. I am DETERMINED to use all my favorite girl names. As for boys? I don’t have too many that I HAVE to use.
The most amount of children I can see myself having is four.
I wouldn’t want more than two, but I’m fine with only using a few of my top names. The ones on top are there for a reason. But I can see why it’d be sad to never use some of the combos you’ve put so much thought into.
I want 7 kids atleast. I wouldn`t mind 20 like the Duggars!haha
We have one already and we couldn’t afford to have more than two at the moment! 
To live comfortably with nice holidays and be able to treat them both etc we’re going to stick with two! If we were totally wealthy I’d have 3.
I couldn’t physically (or mentally! :shock: ) take care of more than that by myself. It’d be unfair on the kids who deserve equal amounts of attention and care I think.
I love the name [name]Lucia[/name]. That was my top name for months until [name]Della[/name] took over! <3
I want 2 to 4 (2 boys, 2 girls) but I’ve used a lot of the names I like by making all 4 combos really long (they’ve a all got 3 middle names) so I get to use 16 of my fave names altogether.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and I think I’ll try and use as many as I can in one name as long as though the combo still sounds good. I’ve got 5 favourite girls names and 5 favourites boy’s names but I could definitely combine some, e.g. I adore [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], [name_m]Asher[/name_m], [name_m]Solomon[/name_m], [name_m]Beau[/name_m], [name_u]Noah[/name_u] and recently I managed to combine the names to make…
[name_u]Noah[/name_u] [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Beau[/name_m]
So that’s three son’s sorted (well it would have been if I hadn’t gone off the name [name_u]Noah[/name_u]).
Ideally, I’d like to have 4-6 children so that way I’d get to use majority of the names I love and I’m sure I could squeeze the others in as a middle names.
I’d love six, but realistically am aiming for three.
For boys there are four names that I [name_f]ADORE[/name_f] and would actually be sad to not use, luckily I want three boys so I actually need to find more, haha
For girls there’s only 2-3 names that I really love, but I don’t think I’d be that upset to not be able to use them. If need be I’d probably push them together and make one awesome name (luckily they sound great together, haha)
