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 🙂

Why don’t people get that the reason she changed her name is exactly because posting the names of her children is outing? After this post she can go back to her old name and her posts will be anonymous.

Anyway, I vote for Benjamin. Congratulations!

I imagine what they mean is that the OP's post outs her as a mumsnetter to anyone she knows who happens to see this thread, even if the name change keeps her previous posts private. But presumably she doesn't mind about that.

My kids actually hate Ziggy they want me to call him Dexter which i do really like but there’s about 5 at my kids primary school!

Does it matter though if you like the name Dexter? I'm sure your son George won't have been the only George in school

How the hell is nobody commenting on the fact you’ve name changed as this is “so outing” then proceeded to share the names of your NINE children!

I don't feel as though those names go with your other names ( which I really like!). I think your teens have influenced you with that list!

Last one is not too bad but the other two sound comical

Show quote history

Well Ivor is already one of her children’s names so no need to be so fucking rude. Also you’re saying Toby is twee and won’t sound manly…… I see you don’t have much of a grasp of current naming trends so maybe you shouldn’t comment at all 😆 plenty of young kids called Toby, lots of grown ups called Toby. The current child Tobys will, guess what….. grow up into adult Tobys! So potential new baby Toby won’t stand out at all.

@Emmafuller79 , Freddie is still very popular. Names like Freddie are popular and will be unremarkable when they are adults. Your suggestion of Edward and Harry are probably more dated, and Edward is likely to be Ed/Eddie/Ted/Teddy.

Amos is not much used so I can't believe that there are lots of them in your kids' primary schools.

Some people like their children to have popular names.

timoteigirl · 30/08/2025 07:50

Vote for Benjamin. Also thought about Zachary. First one Max, last one Zach. Also Z being last in the alphabet.

Ten kids? Due with a boy is December?? You've named all your kids here. And you've name changed to remain anonymous?? 😂😂😂

No, because the 10 kids and names are obviously so recognisable she has changed her MN name to keep all her other posts anonymous.

Max, George, Tabitha, Ivor, Posy, Mabel, Stanley, Rocco, Winston and .. no. ten ..

Alan
Zane
Decimus
Victor
Raphael
Charles
Edward
Hector
David
Dominic

Some of those names are just odd.🤣 They would not sound right in this country/time

Toby 🟰twee … won’t sound good when the child becomes a man

oscar 🟰 reminds me of the trash can character in Sesame Street

She's name changed to avoid her other posts being linked to this one. Obviously this one is identifiable.

Tom has a Hebrew meaning of completeness (not connected to Thomas, different name) and works well with the other names.
