Did anyone else used to spend a lot of time creating families when you were a kid? It was my favorite thing to do when I was little.

Let’s see if I can still remember them all:

[name_f]Thea[/name_f], 16
[name_m]Karl[/name_m], 15, “irish twin” of [name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f], 12
[name_m]Mark[/name_m], 10
[name_m]Tim[/name_m] + [name_m]Tom[/name_m], 8
[name_u]Max[/name_u], 6
[name_f]Kira/name_f, 4
[name_u]Toby[/name_u], 2
[name_u]Lisa[/name_u], newborn

I painted a picture of them at [name_u]Max[/name_u]'s first day of school. [name_m]Karl[/name_m] is a nerd, [name_f]Lily[/name_f] the stereotypical bored tweenager, [name_m]Mark[/name_m] always gets in trouble, [name_m]Tim[/name_m] and [name_m]Tom[/name_m] make trouble, [name_f]Kira[/name_f] is princess-y.

When I was a young girl I was going to have a [name_m]Timothy[/name_m]. As a pre-teen/teen I was going to have a [name_u]Spencer[/name_u]. I still like those names but they were not to the level of The One.

Since I can remember I have loved [name_f]Emma[/name_f]. Still adore [name_f]Emma[/name_f], in my top 5. [name_f]Emma[/name_f] definitely fits the category of The One for me.

I still do it… and iam 20 :smiley:

When i was a teen, all my imaginary families had a daughter named [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Bella[/name_f]’.

I never created families, but I remember choosing different names for my ‘children’ when I played pretend, or naming the doll house family I would play with.

I used too many to remember, but I do remember using [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Patricia[/name_f] & [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] for girls and [name_m]Fred[/name_m], [name_u]Percy[/name_u], [name_m]Gregory[/name_m] and [name_u]Robin[/name_u] for boys…

I never really created families or had name lists until I got older and I only created families because I was writing. haha My friend and I created a whole group of people that we’ve worked with and written about for the last…6 years or so. They’re the closest thing I have to creating imaginary families. And we’ve worked with them for so long they almost feel more real than imaginary. haha

Korovin Family:
[name_u]Misha[/name_u] Aleksander [name_m]Matteo[/name_m] Korovin (ex wife [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] [name_u]Lynn[/name_u] White)

[name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] [name_f]Renee[/name_f] “[name_m]Mac[/name_m]”
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] (twins)
[name_m]Nolan[/name_m] [name_m]Marco[/name_m]

Holbrook Family:
[name_m]Dante[/name_m] [name_m]Russell[/name_m] Holbrook
[name_f]Hallie[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] Holbrook nee [name_u]Logan[/name_u]
[name_f]Rebekah[/name_f]
[name_f]Leah[/name_f]
[name_u]Noah[/name_u]

[name_f]Neela[/name_f] (wife)
[name_f]Asha[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] (daughter)

Others:
[name_f]Niamh[/name_f] [name_u]Alexis[/name_u] O’[name_u]Reilly[/name_u]
[name_m]Aaron[/name_m] [name_m]Mitchell[/name_m] (can’t remember his middle name)

When I first read the His Dark Materials series I was convinced I would have a daughter called [name_f]Lyra[/name_f]. I completely forgot about it until recently and now the name is back on my list. I was also in love with [name_m]Will[/name_m] for a boy.

In my teens the names were [name_f]Helena[/name_f] and [name_f]Melodie[/name_f] with a boy named [name_u]James[/name_u].

I would make families all the time but I can’t remember most of them now.
