Name Theo's Kids! (Part II)

Hello!

After a long bout of being utterly uninspired by names, I’ve finally gotten back into the creative groove of naming for fun and I thought I’d bring back a bandwagon from a few months ago.

What would you name my dream sibset of ten children, if you had full control over the sexes of the kiddos and their full names (first + middle)?

Below I’ve included a moodboard, a description of what I imagine when I think of my family, and a list of the names in my User Card right now, although you certainly aren’t limited to these alone. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Description:

Summary

The vibes that I get when I imagine my family are little hands picking wildflowers from hilly pastures, the harvesting of autumn apples, children gathered round with peaceful hearts as they listen to the eldest sibling read The Secret Garden, hymns sung under the breath, vintage storybooks, gardens that smell like roses, old farmhouses, and summertime afternoons.

Moodboard:

Summary

Names:

They’re listed in pairs, but there is no rhyme or reason to the order or the couplings! This is just so that you have a reference for the names that I love right now.

Lucy Hallelujah and Shepherd Pax
Evangeline Love and Haven Gabriel
Cornelia Joy and Wilder Caspian
Ada Remember and Sage Thomas
Marigold Grace and Asher Courage
Verity Theodora and Isaiah True
Susanna Blythe and Ezra Worthy
Haven Beatrice and Rowan Tobias
Mercy Christabell and Asa Wise
Willow Magdalene and Jude Bravery
Claramae Truth and Emrys Blessing
Rosalie Blessing and Abel Justice
Felicity Anne and River Eliel
Hannah Praise and Silas Noadiah
Lillie Hosanna and Bram Timothy
Martha Galilee and Forest Obadiah
Kit Arabella and Lark Solomon
Daisy Eulalia and Oakley Samuel
Winevere Ruth and Merit Elias
Sosie Jane and Remy Jack

So, what would you name my ten kiddos if you could choose all of the names and genders? And if you have any particular reasoning behind your choices, I’d love to hear it, should you feel so inclined. But of course that isn’t necessary!

Also, if you feel inspired, I’d love to hear what you would name a bonus eleven child with a name not on my lists!

I’d name your ten kids:

  1. [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Hallelujah[/name_f]
  2. [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] [name_u]Pax[/name_u]
  3. [name_u]Wilder[/name_u] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
  4. [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]
  5. [name_u]Haven[/name_u] [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u]
  6. [name_f]Claramae[/name_f] [name_u]Truth[/name_u]
  7. [name_u]Forest[/name_u] [name_m]Obadiah[/name_m]
  8. [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
  9. [name_u]Asher[/name_u] [name_u]Courage[/name_u]
  10. [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] [name_u]Blythe[/name_u]
Explanations
  1. [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Hallelujah[/name_f] → fits the vibe perfectly and because I can’t imagine you without this name
  2. [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] [name_u]Pax[/name_u] → in touch with nature but calm and peaceful too - and because I can’t imagine this not being on the list
  3. [name_u]Wilder[/name_u] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] → this name feels outdoorsy, adventurous, imaginative and lovely
  4. [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] → clunky-storybook-vintage vibes
  5. [name_u]Haven[/name_u] [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] → calm but strong - it feels like that homely, safe feel in your description
  6. [name_f]Claramae[/name_f] [name_u]Truth[/name_u] → it feels right for you to have a smoosh name somewhere on the list and light, bright, charming [name_f]Claramae[/name_f] works wonderfully
  7. [name_u]Forest[/name_u] [name_m]Obadiah[/name_m] → outdoorsy and in touch with nature, but also serious, studious and smart - probably the one asking for the book to be read again as soon as you reach the final page
  8. [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] → warm and cosy but determined feeling too
  9. [name_u]Asher[/name_u] [name_u]Courage[/name_u] → two names that feel important to have on your list
  10. [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] [name_u]Blythe[/name_u] → lively, bright and lovely - a summery name - maybe she even gets called [name_u]Sunny[/name_u]?
A bonus eleventh

[name_f]Marilla[/name_f] [name_u]Golden[/name_u] / [name_f]Marilla[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u]

  10. [name_u]Willow[/name_u] [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f]

In my imaginary scenario, you were avoiding repeating first name initials until baby #9 who was your first girl and of course she had to be [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Hallelujah[/name_f]! Also I imagine between baby 2-8 your Nameberry posts to be “I have a girl name set in stone, but if this baby is a boy, what would you name a brother to…”.

[name_m]Can[/name_m] I just say I adore [name_u]Willow[/name_u] Magdalene!! Your first two kids have to be [name_m]Shephard[/name_m] [name_u]Pax[/name_u] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Hallelujah[/name_f], for the rest I’d go (mixing and matching a bit):
[name_f]Katharine[/name_f] [name_f]Mercy[/name_f] (I adore [name_u]Kit[/name_u], but in my head it has to be short for my beloved Katharine)
[name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] [name_u]Jack[/name_u]

I tend to think we have pretty different taste in names but I love so many on this list! [name_u]Kit[/name_u] and [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] is my current dream sibset :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

@Greyblue, oh, thank you so much, [name_f]Nell[/name_f]! I adore this sibset. I was so tickled that you included [name_f]Claramae[/name_f], as I definitely need a smoosh name in there! I love the idea of [name_u]Sunny[/name_u] for [name_f]Susanna[/name_f]. I don’t know why I’ve never considered that before! And [name_f]Marilla[/name_f] [name_u]Golden[/name_u]? What a precious, precious name. :pleading_face:

@Rosebeth, that is such a great sibset. I love the vintagey girls with the nature-inspired boys. That’s always such a cool mix. Also, I’m kind of obsessed with [name_f]Sosie[/name_f] and [name_m]Silas[/name_m] for twins . . . . Thank you so much, Ró!

@Luminen, [name_u]Karo[/name_u], that made me laugh out loud!

That is so accurate, I can’t even begin to describe it. :joy: You know me well!

I especially love the idea of [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_u]Willow[/name_u] as sisters, with brothers [name_u]Ezra[/name_u], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], and [name_m]Abel[/name_m]. And [name_u]Rene[/name_u] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] fits in perfectly! I should really give [name_u]Rene[/name_u] more thought. It reminds me of [name_u]René[/name_u] [name_f]Magritte[/name_f], which is super cool.

@Etymology, [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_u]Pax[/name_u] are gorgeous! I can’t imagine using [name_u]Pax[/name_u] as a middle name to anything but [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m], but I love the idea of [name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_u]Peace[/name_u]. And [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] just sounds like a song, it’s so lovely. [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], and [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] would be so perfect together. [name_m]Little[/name_m] [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Martha[/name_f], and [name_u]Theo[/name_u]!

@Mary_Rose, [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] [name_u]Jack[/name_u] is too adorable! I also do really love the name [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], especially as a first for sweet [name_u]Kit[/name_u]. [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_f]Claramae[/name_f] [name_u]Anne[/name_u] are ones I never would have thought of, but they’re absolutely impeccable.

This list was mostly me trying to balance my love of unusual names and virtues with a desire to have a batch of names that feels usable in real life. Names where my family will say, “well, [name_u]Bravery[/name_u] is crazy, but at least it’s a middle name! And [name_u]Jude[/name_u] is nice enough.” :joy:

@Hello1, oh, thank you so much for your kind words. You have truly warmed my heart. I would use this sibset in a heartbeat! So very perfect.

@heartwings, this is so cool! I love that this sibset has a light academia sort of vibe. [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] as a first name is one that I should really give more consideration, because I’ve adored that name for years and years.

  1. [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] [name_u]Pax[/name_u]
Summary

For me this is the boy version of [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Hallelujah[/name_f] your son should be named [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] [name_u]Pax[/name_u].

  1. [name_f]Mercy[/name_f] [name_f]Christabell[/name_f]

So [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] is actually the name me and my partner have decided on for a boy. I mean he still loves [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] but I just think [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] is more us. Anyways [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] pulled me in. I love the unexpected feel of [name_u]Lark[/name_u] upfront. I also love [name_u]Lark[/name_u] for a boy! So yep the name pulled me in.

Summary

I know [name_f]Lillie[/name_f] is similar too [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] + [name_u]Lark[/name_u] but I couldn’t resist including her. I’m a huge fan of floral nature names and this includes [name_f]Lily[/name_f] names (rather obviously my daughter is [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] as you know) and I think [name_f]Lillie[/name_f] is so pretty especially with [name_f]Hosanna[/name_f].

  1. [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_m]Tobias[/name_m]

Gosh this was so strange ending my list as I adore soooo many names on your list.

Anyways I went with [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_m]Tobias[/name_m]. [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] is gorgeous nature name with a wind swept flair and [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] is a fab middle name for [name_u]Rowan[/name_u].

[name_f]My[/name_f] eleventh choice would be

[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Elswyth[/name_f] + [name_u]Daniel[/name_u] [name_u]Ashby[/name_u]

I didn’t get around to mentioning this in my original post but really like [name_u]Rene[/name_u] for you because it feels fresh and kind of outdoorsy to me while having a spiritually significant meaning, and I could imagine you coming up with the perfect middle for it to really elevate the meaning of the whole combo!
