Have name changed as this is SO outing 😬

I am having my tenth and final baby in December, just found out it’s a boy, my 7th boy and my 4th boy in a row!

Here are my other children’s names

Max
George
Tabitha
Ivor
Posy
Mabel
Stanley
Rocco
Winston

Im a bit lost for names, plus the older 5 children are teenagers and have an opinion on everything 😂 I like Ziggy, Frank, Bruno, Dexter and Axel. But don’t really love any of them.

TIA 🙂

I think I’ve been persuaded not to use Ziggy 🙂 I think Otto might be the new favourite!

I do seem to have a habit of dog names tbh, I met two English bulldogs called Rocco and Winston the other day 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

I have to concede I do think of Oscar the Grouch so it never made our lists, but its very popular and used alongside really nice names.

Show quote history

True that! I reckon I overthink it which is odd for me as I’m no brain box! All My
kids have what you call traditional names like the royal family. You can’t go wrong with them names ever!

in town this summer holiday I heard kids with these names -

mullet
Anastasia
Lacey
addison
otllie
artilla
evan
dottie
luna
benton
Lincoln
dalton

😂😂😂😂

Septimus is bloody awful! 😖 Just makes me think 'septic!'

Or a septum infection! 😂

Anatole. Pronounced Anna-Toll. Tolly or Toller for short. Read a story when I was a kid and I always wanted to call my future son Toller 😊 unfortunately, DH disagreed with me. Massively.

I know siblings who are the last two of an 8 sibling group, Septimus and Octavia, their parents say they ran out of naming ideas so started on numbering.

Show quote history

The thing is I think they are really lovely names, but you do sort of feel you need seven or eight children to make them work - and I never quite got there!

Octavia gets used a bit more, though its a slightly weird meaning unless its their birth date. But I love the name Septimus. There's a character in Virginia Woolf - Mrs Dalloway isn't it? I always really liked it, and of course it was a lot more common in the days before contraception.

Oh but I AM serious! Please do Septimus! Its such a brilliant name but seldom does anyone have enough children to make it so appropriate.

There's also Decimus for tenth but it's too close to decimate I think.

Septimus is fabulous.

Decimus Septimus Meridius

(Or more seriously, how about Benjamin? It's often traditionally used to refer to the youngest sibling, Benjamin being Jacob's youngest son in the Bible)

Edited

You beat me to it with Septimus!

Otherwise, I'm throwing the name Jackson into the hat, but it is a biased suggestion 💙

LoudPlumDog · 30/08/2025 14:58

Max, George, Tabitha, Ivor, Posy, Mabel, Stanley, Rocco, Winston.

Why is it amazing? I think it’s pretty selfish and shit considering the massive environmental impact.

So many people are choosing to not have children these days, or just one. Calm down.
