What are your children's names?

I'd like to hear what everyone has actually named their children. There are a lot of suggestions like Jago and Aurelia that, frankly, you never actually hear. I suggest username changes for privacy though!

My two boys are Westley Orion and Scott Lennox.

I know 3 Jagos, it’s quite popular in the south west due to it being a Cornish name. I have also met a few little Aurelias.

Jesus, some people have their knickers in a twist on this thread. If you don't want to participate, don't. I just thought it would be interesting to hear what people on a baby name section of a forum actually called their kids.
