What would you name children today?

[dogs_books]

I created an entire flow chart for how many kids I will have based on the order of their genders ! For some reason, I want my youngest to be a girl, and just a few days ago, I wanted my oldest to be a girl, but now I don’t really care. But if my first kid is a boy, I will wait four years to have another kid because that seems like a good distance for an older brother, and if my first kid is a girl, I will wait three years to have another kid, because that’s good for an older sister. But anyway, it would depend on the style of names that I would go for and the number of kids.

If I had 2 kids; a boy and then a girl:
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]Calloway[/name_u] and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] Wildrose “[name_u]Olly[/name_u] and [name_f]Nell[/name_f]”

If I had two boys:
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]Calloway[/name_u] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Night[/name_u]

If I had boy, boy, girl:
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]Calloway[/name_u], [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Night[/name_u], and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] Wildrose

If I had three boys:
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]Calloway[/name_u], [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Night[/name_u], and [name_u]Kit[/name_u] [name_u]Finch[/name_u]

If I had 2 girls:
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] Wildrose and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_u]Sparrow[/name_u]

If I had a boy and 2 girls:
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]Calloway[/name_u], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] Wildrose, and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_u]Sparrow[/name_u]

If I had three girls:
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_u]Sparrow[/name_u] “[name_u]Jules[/name_u], [name_u]Scout[/name_u] (?), and [name_f]Nell[/name_f]”
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_u]Lark[/name_u], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_u]Sparrow[/name_u]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_u]Larkspur[/name_u], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] Wildrose, [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]

There’s no way I’m having more than three kids, so yeah! That’s it! This will probably all have changed in like one hour but…

[LadyMacbethWho]

I totally agree, the combinations would probably depend on the naming, its kinda cool you made a flow chart, I might have to do that!
Those are all beautiful names!
I reckon I’d like 2/3 (maybe 4) kids, the combination id like most is probably either girl/girl girl/girl/girl girl/girl/boy or girl/girl/girl/boy. I just think there are more girls names I love

[scarly2]

I can relate so much to the fact that this will all change in probably 10 mins but hey ho! I have my heart set on having 3 children (boy, girl, girl) and the 1st girl being only 1 year younger than the boy and the youngest girl being alot younger maybe 11 years or so younger than the boy. There are so many girls names I love so I’ll name a few:

I love the name [name_f]Lola[/name_f] and adore [name_f]Grace[/name_f] for middle name as it fits perfectly with any name

top 10 (very hard to choose!) but:

Chloe
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Paige[/name_f]
[name_u]Madison[/name_u]
[name_f]Everleigh[/name_f]
[name_f]Lottie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Taisiya[/name_f]
[name_u]Haydn[/name_u]
[name_f]Emilee[/name_f]

What are your thoughts…which one’s your favourite (:

[LadyMacbethWho]

(This is really funny because that’s exactly what my mum’s family is like, she’s the youngest of 3, with and older brother and an older sister, and she is 11 years younger than her brother )
I think:
[name_f]Elise[/name_f] (my friend is called this and she goes by [name_f]Ellie[/name_f])
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
are my favourites

[namesleuth23]

Okay, I love so many names it’s hard to choose from! [name_f]My[/name_f] dream is 9 kids or more, reality is probably five (if I’m lucky). So, I’ll do six.
1 girl, 5 boys:
[name_f]Zipporah[/name_f], [name_u]Hollis[/name_u], [name_m]Lew[/name_m], Raining, Thunderstorm & Luvender
2 girls, 4 boys
[name_f]Zipporah[/name_f], [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u], [name_u]Hollis[/name_u], Raining, Thunderstorm & Luvender
3 girls, 3 boys
[name_f]Zipporah[/name_f], [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u], [name_f]Julia[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f], [name_u]Hollis[/name_u], Raining & Luvender
4 girls, 2 boys
[name_f]Zipporah[/name_f], [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u], [name_f]Julia[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f], [name_u]Ari[/name_u], [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] & Raining
5 girls & 1 boy
[name_f]Zipporah[/name_f], [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u], [name_f]Julia[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f], [name_u]Ari[/name_u], [name_f]Laura[/name_f] & [name_u]Hollis[/name_u]…
It’s all going to change in five minutes, but this is what I like right now.

I love this. I would love to have 4, with the possibility of adopting 2 more. Whether I have that many would be a different story. [name_f]My[/name_f] ideal would be to have an even split of girls and boys, I know it may not happen. If that’s the case, I would love the first 4 to be an even split and the last 2 would be whatever genders we are blessed with (yep, wishful thinking). [name_f]My[/name_f] ideal order for the first 4 would be G, B and then B/G twins. I’m still up in the air on how to honor 3 specific people, so I created an option for each direction. Here we go with my ideal order, but (as with everyone else) the names may change in the future.

1st 4 Kids - Option 1

1. G: [name_u]Tegan[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] Orestina

3. B: [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] [name_u]Bay[/name_u] (twin)
4. G: [name_f]Elva[/name_f] [name_f]Jayne[/name_f] [name_u]Alani[/name_u] (twin)

1st 4 Kids - Option 2

1. G: [name_u]Tegan[/name_u] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_f]Maris[/name_f] or [name_u]Tegan[/name_u] [name_u]Alani[/name_u] [name_f]Maris[/name_f]
2. B: [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] [name_m]Robert[/name_m]
3. B: [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] [name_m]Scott[/name_m] (twin)
4. G: [name_f]Elva[/name_f] [name_f]Jayne[/name_f] [name_u]Alani[/name_u] or [name_f]Elva[/name_f] [name_f]Jayne[/name_f] [name_f]Carina[/name_f] (twin)

[lottiewilliams]

I would like 5 kids (two boys three girls) but realistically I will probably have 4 (2 of each) but who cares about being realistic
(in order by age)
[name_u]Cato[/name_u] [name_u]Blaise[/name_u]
[name_f]Mallorie[/name_f] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f]
[name_m]Elio[/name_m] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]

[Carys1]

I’ve pretty much decided that if I ever have daughters I’ll name them [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f] (this name has a lot of meaning to me) and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] (I’ve liked this name for a few years now).
I can’t seem to decide what I’d name my sons, so hopefully I’ll just have daughters when I have kids

[vera.valentina]

[name_f]My[/name_f] answer to this question changes everyday dependant on the current “energy” I feel from the universe.

Right now I feel feminine energy, and feminine simplicity at that. Therefore I’d go with my classic name loves for girls, [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]. I probably need to get more original at this point I say those two everywhere I love them so much
Perhaps I’d consider one of my newer loves though, [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] or [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] [name_u]Romilly[/name_u]… Or something like that.

[scarly2]

I know an [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and it’s a beautiful name!

[Alaina27]

Totally

[Alaina27]

Today i am feeling masculine with a pop of feminine:
[name_m]Axel[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]
[name_m]Ace[/name_m] [name_u]Bay[/name_u]
[name_u]Owen[/name_u] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_u]Kai[/name_u] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m]
[name_u]Asher[/name_u] [name_u]Arrow[/name_u]
and
[name_f]Elissa[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]

[books_and_tea]

I definitely wouldn’t have this many children in real life but these are all my favourite names at the moment:

Girls:

• Matilda [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Juno[/name_f] ‘Rosie’
• Edith [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f] [name_f]Yasmin[/name_f] ‘Edie’

Boys:

• Arthur [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Remy[/name_u] ‘Remy’
• Edmund [name_m]Percival[/name_m] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] ‘Percy’

[billie_154]

Oooo cool thread! Today, I imagine all daughters. Changes everyday of course.

Either two girls (age gap 3 years):

Evangeline [name_u]Willow[/name_u] and [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Philippa[/name_f]

*Willow and [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] are honor names

Or four girls.

Evangeline [name_u]Willow[/name_u]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Philippa[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]

[cactusgram]

Today I’d like a sister and a brother for my daughter Be@trix H@zel [name_u]June[/name_u]:

Dorothy [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] and [name_m]Archie[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]

Bea, [name_f]Dot[/name_f] and [name_m]Archie[/name_m]

[anon80426808]

Today, I’d like two children, an older boy and a younger girl.

Neel [name_m]Gulliver[/name_m] - Gulliver’s Travels was one of my favorite books as a child, and [name_u]Neel[/name_u] means blue in Hindi, which honors my pseudonym.

Chandra [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] - [name_f]My[/name_f] grandmother, who I am very close to, used to grow marigolds in her garden when she was a child. I wish I had some sort of meaning for [name_f]Chandra[/name_f] (I could dip into the endless moon-themed nursery rhymes my family told me as a child) but honestly, I like it because it’s a recognizable Hindi name in the US.

[lottiewilliams]

I commented on this few weeks ago but now its different

In order
[name_u]Cato[/name_u] [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] (middle name is an honor name)
[name_f]Mallorie[/name_f] [name_f]Odette[/name_f]
[name_u]Asher[/name_u] [name_u]Riley[/name_u]
Twin girls [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]

[Mary_Rose]

I think today I’d have two boys, [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_u]Kit[/name_u] and [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m], and one girl, [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]

[Greyblue]

Tesni [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_m]Kester[/name_m] [name_m]Magnus[/name_m]

[AdroitArtemis]

Today they would be twin brothers [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Obadiah[/name_m] [name_u]Wilder[/name_u] and [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_m]Hezekiah[/name_m] [name_u]Frost[/name_u], little brothers [name_m]Nehemiah[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Ridge[/name_m] and [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_u]Grove[/name_u], and little sister [name_u]Finley[/name_u] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_u]Ember[/name_u].

[name_m]Cas[/name_m], [name_u]Toby[/name_u], [name_u]Neo[/name_u], [name_u]Dash[/name_u], and [name_m]Fin[/name_m]
