Hi all,
Just for fun!
What ethnicity’s will your Baby’s be?
I have a proper little mixture growing inside me 😂. She will be half English, quarter Pakistani, an eighth Irish and and eighth Jamaica. I’m really hoping for her to have Curley hair but I think the black is too diluted so she’ll just end up a frizzy mess!

Thanks x

I am part English, Egyptian and somewhere in West Africa (but we don't know!), and DP is part Romany Gypsy and the rest English. Who knows what this little baby will have mixtures of!

My little girl will be half Chinese, half English. Statistically speaking daddy's Chinese heritage will be the dominating features for her, but he is hoping by some miracle she comes out with my blue eyes. I've told him not to get his hopes up Smile

Mine are teens now but a right mix! English, Egyptian, Tunisian, Russian and we recently found out a large dose of Finnish to boot! Your babies will be beautiful.

Mine are one and four years old now but they are one quarter Pakistani, one quarter Polish, and then various amounts of English, Welsh, Irish and French. One looks Northern European/Celtic and one looks Asian, they look totally different. It's fascinating the way genes and different features manifest!

Love all the diversity and interesting mixtures in this thread!
I don't really feel able to join in given that ours will be 100% English (neither of us have interesting family histories, no hidden relatives hailing from other countries) .

One thing is for sure though, they are pretty much guaranteed to be ginger and freckly with our mix of genes!

Our are a mix of Finnish, English, Russian, French, First Nations (Blood/Blackfoot) and apparently Greek.
They are both grown, one blonde and blue eyed with pale skin, one brunette with blue eyes and darker skin

Ethnicity and nationality are not the same thing.

As far as I know my family is nothing but English. My DH has English and some Scottish. So nothing too interesting! I'm tempted to do family ancestry DNA test just in hopes of finding something a bit different!

Our little girl will be three quarters English and a quarter Indian, no idea what she'll look like as I've got really pale skin and light blonde hair and DP has a quite a tanned skin tone with black hair!

I'm half greek half english so I'm quite tanned with dark ish hair and dark eyes and DH is fully Dutch (blonde hair blue eyes) but grew up here in the UK. So that means baby will be a quarter English, a quarter Greek, and half Dutch. So no idea what it'll look like!

I'm white British as is DH technically but his Dad was adopted so not sure what his heritage is. Although he (and DH) have very dark curly hair as do our kids so could be multi-ethnic. But we just don't know.

Mine will be white from 2 different nationalities
I think some people are getting things mixed here

English and a bit of Burmese and Irish. I'm wondering how much of the Burmese will come through.

A lot of my niece and nephews are quite dark, and my great neices have inherited the colouring. But my line of the family is more watered down.

@shumway
I’m sure most people on here know the difference between ethnicity and nationality.
And I’m guessing regardless of the ethnicity mixtures on here 99% of their nationality’s will be British. Unless there’s the odd American on here.
