What would you name children today?

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]

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.

I’ve posted on this thread before, What would you name children today? - #15 by shells15, but I’ll give it another go.

Personally, I would love to have 4 kids, with the possibility of adopting another 2 kids (for a total of 6) at some point. I think it would be amazing to have an even split of boys and girls, but I’ll take what I’m blessed with. I do know that I want an even number of kids as I’m 1 of 3 and someone is always left out (usually it’s my 2 brothers OR 1 of my brothers and I doing something, but never the 3 of us).

More than likely I’ll be having 2-4 kids, I’ll just do the first 4 today. I’m debating 1 or 2 middle names, but today we’ll go with 1 middle name. [name_f]My[/name_f] combos will probably change down the road, but that’s the nature of things.

OPTION 1

  • Girls: [name_u]Tegan[/name_u] [name_f]Orestina[/name_f], [name_f]Elva[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
  • Boys: [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u], [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] [name_u]Micah[/name_u]

OPTION 2

  • Girls: [name_u]Tegan[/name_u] [name_f]Annika[/name_f], [name_f]Elva[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
  • Boys: [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u], [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Micah[/name_u] OR [name_u]Jamison[/name_u] [name_u]Micah[/name_u]

@dogs_books made me laugh. I so relate to the flow charting. I would like three also, one girl, one boy and I don’t mind which after that. But the order may impact my name choices. [name_f]Do[/name_f] I feel pressure to use certain names for the first or second. What if I had two boys to start or two girls. Could I be sure I would not have a third boy or girl next, or maybe none at all. The scenarios are completely mappable but … :slight_smile:

@anon80426808 [name_m]Gulliver[/name_m] is awesome and I love that spelling of [name_u]Neel[/name_u] and the meaning. So beautiful.

I’ve said for years I wanted to have three; two girls and one boy, with the boy being the middle child. We’ll see how that actually pans out.

If I had free reign, they would be…

  • [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Promise[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Aura[/name_f]’
  • [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_u]Sterling[/name_u]
  • [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] Moonlight ‘[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]’
