If you had 17 kids, what would their names be?


Recommended Posts

I named my fish when I was young :) That got out some of the names. I actually didn't think she was fake, because... well.... I just thought... "lots of kids... tons too many :)" When she wouldn't share her house info. that was off.

Anyway, Names :)

I liked

Caitlyn Grace;

Chad,

Stephen,

Lindsey,

Katya of Katja

Clarity is cute (Clare)

Elisabeth like my doll when I was young..

and then the ones I used... :)

noticed I can't even think of 17 names... let alone think of birthing them.

oh! I wanna play! I always wanted to name my children. Out of my seven, I named one and influenced a few...

 

I would name my kids:

 

Sarah

Laura

Amy

(I know... probably a boring start, but those were my all time favorite names growing up and they represent very dear things to me!)

Nathaniel

Joseph

Steven

Gabriel

Claire

Rebekah

Grace

Daniel

 

 

And now I am having to think too hard of what to name the others, so it's not fun anymore. Although I am sure I can edit and add names when I see some other name lists!!

Speaking totally hypothetically since I tend to dream about kind of odd names or spellings and then chicken out when it actually comes down to it.....

 

I'll take off the three that are real:

Stephanie

George

Victoria

I guess I could continue with the theme of names of royalty but since that wasn't deliberate, I won't.

 

Jared

Nikita (girl)

Anna

Richard

Katherine

Francine

Patricia

Wow this is harder than I thought.

Kaleigh

Colleen

Aisling

Connor

Angelina

Jayden

Nicholas

 

I'm kind of weighted to the girls aren't I?

Yet Another One

Are We Done Yet

Don't Touch Me Anymore

I think I need a glass of wine before I can handle that thought!

 

I like names, but I write stories so I come up with character names, not children names. Although children can be quite the characters too.

 

Let's see...17?

 

Harrison

Eric

Julia

Jayne

Jared

Benjamin

Alexander

Olivia

Oliver (maybe they were twins :tongue_smilie:)

August

Morgan

Natalie

Kyle

Jacob

Dylan

Christian

Reece

I see Sawyer mentioned a couple of times. I actually have a Sawyer. And he was named way before Lost ever came out. :D

 

I don't know if I could come up with 34 names (17 first names, 17 middle names). I know I would never name them all with the same first letter. :tongue_smilie: No offense to anyone here who did that.

Oooh, can we be friends? :D

 

You have two of my daughters' names on your list and one of their middle names. One of my son's names and another name I want to use for a boy, but my mother has informed me that since she didn't like someone with that name, she would never speak of any child with that name. Actually, you have other names on the boy list I like, but haven't used yet...

After the first few births, I'd have lost my mental faculties, so I might have been inspired by my new antianxiety or psych med which would have been added to my stash each year....so perhaps, "Xanax Amanda", "Wellbutrin Reid", "Paxil Diane", "Buspar Jean", "Valium Luke", "Haldol Grace", etc. and, baby seventeen would have been, "Tubal Ligation Jones."

Children I have

I hope this isn't dreadfully inappropriate. My pet cow finally had a baby girl after 10 years of boys, and I chose this name for her baby because I loved the name. I hope your dd doesn't mind sharing :D

I love the name too. I would have used it for a pet if I hadn't had a baby girl. :D

We have very similar tastes in imaginary names. Hugh, Oliver, Julian, August, Beatrice, Pippa (Philippa), Georgette/Georgiana...

 

Isn't that interesting?? nice list!

It is soooo hard for me to imagine it being difficult to come up with names. I mean, I think the only reason I would even consider having more children is just for the fun of naming them! I think I need to have 23 children (my 6 + 17 more)

 

My lists:

 

Zane

Kirk

Thomas

Hugh

Oscar

Oliver

Rafe

Piers

Blaise

August

Giles (make that + 19--can't forget Giles!)

Louisa

Celia

Marjory

Pippa

Virginia Clare

Georgette

Tamsin

Beatrix ( I guess I need 18 extra...I almost forgot poor dear Beatrix)

 

In 2 shakes of a lamb's tale, I could have middle names for them all.

LOL, can I be your friend too? I had all of the bolded names on at least one of my name lists, and one of my boys is actually named Oliver. (I wanted August or Augustus/Gus ;) but dh said he hated the name. Boo.)

 

This is fun. One of my favorite parts of being pregnant was choosing names. We like family names. My 17 children would be:

 

Ruby Claire (Both family names)

Ava Grace (Ava is a family name.)

Frances Violet or Violet Frances (Frances is a family name.)

(Those 3 were all in the running when I was pg with my boys, thus the middle names.)

Hannah

Ara (pr. AIR-ah, family name)

Brigitte or Bridget

Vivian

Miriam (family name)

Evelyn

Gretel or Greta

 

Calvin (family name)

Oliver

Levi

Edward, nn Ned (family name)

August (Gus)

Atticus

November

 

I'd have to have more girls than boys because boy names are too hard. My youngest came home from the birth center without a name.

I don't know that I can come up with 17. I was happy to see my DS's name on Carrie1234's list - Sebastian.

 

After that, we'd have

Elijah (no middle name picked out yet) - Eli

Lillian Jay (named after grandmas) - Lilli

Luellen Michelle (is it bad that Luellen came out of a romance novel?) - Ellie

Alexandria

 

-- And after that, I'm stumped. Wow, harder than I thought. The names I used to like, I don't any more!

To my name friends, have you been to nameberry.com?

 

 

I spent way too much time on their when I was pregnant with my twins. :)

 

Seriously. We had the worst time naming the boys. Finding names that were not on the top 10 list for the past decade and also didn't match or create a weird pair was :svengo:

 

My husband really wanted Aidan. We went round and round on a second name and ended up with Quinn. Well, you just can't go around calling Aidan Quinn, now can you? (And, of course, Aidan is one of the most popular names in their age group, so Holden worked out better all around)
