Hello!
I thought this would be a fun topic! If you are done with having children, but you and your partner still picked out your name for your “next” child IF you had another - what would it be ?
[name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to share the story behind the name and your current kids names!!
(I’ll post mine in the comments!)
We are not having any more kids, sadly, but we did have a fun conversation last night and decided if we had another baby - boy or girl- we would name her/him [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]Scotland[/name_u]. [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] is a name we’ve had on our list for a while, and I love the nature connection. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I both have Scottish roots - his great grandmother is from [name_u]Scotland[/name_u] and mine are way further back.
[name_u]Hazel[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Brynn[/name_f], [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_u]Lauren[/name_u], and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]Scotland[/name_u] 
[name_u]Hazel[/name_u], [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_f]Astrid[/name_f], and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u].
Cool idea!
We’re stopping at two but we had agreed on [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] if our boy was a girl.
Other girl names we both love are [name_f]Ginny[/name_f] and [name_f]Gwen[/name_f].
Boy names we dont agree on! But I would push for [name_u]Reggie[/name_u]. I think I could convince him.
Ours kids are [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] and [name_u]Marlo[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]
[name_u]Darcy[/name_u] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] is gorgeous
In true name nerd fashion I figured most of us would have thought about this!
Aw, [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]Scotland[/name_u] is gorgeous!!
I love thinking about this! [name_f]My[/name_f] kids are [name_f]Juno[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_u]Kit[/name_u] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u], [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] [name_f]Helena[/name_f] and [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u].
If we had another boy, we both love [name_m]Ivo[/name_m] 
I love [name_f]Flor[/name_f]- names and have never got to use one (I tried to sell DH on [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_m]Florin[/name_m] and [name_u]Florian[/name_u] in the past, to no avail) so I’d probably push for [name_m]Ivo[/name_m] [name_u]Florian[/name_u] for fantasy #5. I like my kids’ middles to feel like a cohesive group as well as the first names and [name_u]Florian[/name_u] has the right feel, flow and sound, I think.
Other strong middle name contenders could be [name_m]Ivo[/name_m] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m], [name_m]Ivo[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], [name_m]Ivo[/name_m] [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u], [name_m]Ivo[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and [name_m]Ivo[/name_m] Somerled.
For a girl, I’d be seriously tempted to use my longtime favourite [name_u]Hero[/name_u] 
It would be my last chance and I’ve loved it for so long. Although it’s brave I think the naming climate is now such that it’s wearable.
[name_u]Hero[/name_u] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] has been my combo for years but I’m tempted to switch it up lately. I think [name_u]Hero[/name_u] needs a grounding middle so maybe something like [name_u]Hero[/name_u] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_u]Hero[/name_u] [name_f]Marianne[/name_f], [name_u]Hero[/name_u] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] or [name_u]Hero[/name_u] [name_f]Ottoline[/name_f] (a favourite of DH’s despite the double O).
Other girl names I adore for a fantasy #5 include [name_f]Vita[/name_f], [name_u]Caro[/name_u], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] and [name_f]Ines[/name_f].
Thank you! Not as classic as our girls’ names, but I quite like how punchy it is !
I was hoping you would comment ! I adore your kids names. [name_u]Hero[/name_u] is especially chef’s kiss.
Ahh, thank you! A girl can dream 
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]Scotland[/name_u] is fabulous and I love that you’d use it for either sex.
So I do not want any more children then two (I have one currently) yes as a name nerd I play around with the idea of a sibling set featuring three children but reality is I wouldn’t want anymore than two. Kids are hard work 
The second child most likely would be [name_f]Clara[/name_f] (pronounce KLAA RA) [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] Otema or [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] [name_u]John[/name_u] Otim depending on of course if they were a boy or a girl.
If we were to go on to have three children (this will just not happen) I think currently they would be [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] Lalela or [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] Lockhart Erifasi.
I’ve also had a soft spot for [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] I think she’s really beautiful I also love the meaning wisdom I had the combination [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] for a long time! However when [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] was suggested by a berry I just fell in love as I’m really into themes so the idea of [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f] & [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] seemed perfect. They are all 5 letters, ending in the letter ‘a’ and feel very European chic. [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is both mine & my mums middle name but is a family name that runs through the generations on my family tree. I also love [name_f]Jane[/name_f]! Lalela is my OH Grandma’s middle name and would honour her Ugandan heritage.
I’ve also always loved [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] I think he’s so handsome, feels strong and plays homage to my Jewish ancestry. [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] is gorgeous and liked by OH! Lockhart is a family surname that I adore. Erifasi is my OH Grandfather’s name he was the [name_m]President[/name_m] of Uganda for a period of time and tried to restore peace in a troubled land. He was a very hard working peace activist until he passed away so definitely a man worth honouring.
Interesting question and I’m also glad @katinka answered!
This is amazing! What a fantastic namesake and a wonderful name. I love all your options
We have already three and are not planning on having any more, at least for now, but i play around a lot with potential baby sibling names.
Our kids are [name_m]Halil[/name_m] [name_f]Anel[/name_f], [name_f]Nala[/name_f] Ilea & Lijan [name_u]Noah[/name_u].
(DH is bosnian, so each one as one slavic name)
For another girl we both love [name_f]Nami[/name_f] as a middle name and for the first name i have four names I really love.
Amajlija - means lucky charm which i think is super cute and Amajlija [name_f]Nami[/name_f] is one of my favorite combo’s.
Aalijah - this is DH favorite, he already really liked it by our daughter, but I was to this time not really sure of it.
Luela - one of my all time favorites.
[name_f]Devina[/name_f] - we both really like it a long long time, but something always felt off.
For a boy we both love [name_u]Edin[/name_u] as a first name and for the middle names i don’t really know (boy’s names are so hard to find 
) but I think I would pressure Dzenan or [name_m]Emrys[/name_m] (but I’m not so sure about the same first letter for fn and mn).
Wow - [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f] ,and [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] are European chic! Fantastic trio.
[name_m]Malachi[/name_m] and [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] with [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] also sound really cool and chic - like they just casually vacation in Europe 
[name_u]Lucky[/name_u] charm is so cute!!!
We have currently one child and wait a little to decide whether we would be able to handle a second one
Our son is [name_m]Bastien[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]. If we had a second son, his name would probably be [name_m]Mathias[/name_m] [name_u]Leo[/name_u] (Leo is a new love, but it doesn’t work as well as [name_m]Mathias[/name_m] with our last name, so it would be our chance to use it anyway). For a girl, it would probably be [name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f], even though [name_u]Cleo[/name_u] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] are strong contenders too.
[name_m]Bastien[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] & [name_m]Mathias[/name_m] [name_u]Leo[/name_u]
[name_m]Bastien[/name_m] & [name_m]Mathias[/name_m]
[name_u]Or[/name_u]
[name_m]Bastien[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] & [name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_m]Bastien[/name_m] & [name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f] & [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] would be perfection together - but like you said, they are hard work those little cuties
Thank you! [name_f]My[/name_f] OH family history consists of really remarkable people so lots of namesakes which is seasoned
I have to say I love [name_u]Hero[/name_u] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] & [name_m]Ivo[/name_m] [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u]
Thank you! I love European chic that’s my whole vibe really 
@Camelia honestly the cute factor is high but they are very demanding little humans! Thank you for the positivity regarding [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f] & [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] 
I have to say your sons name is perfection and I absolutely love [name_m]Mathias[/name_m] [name_u]Leo[/name_u] & [name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] 
Thank you very much for the positive feedback
