Name your Fantasy Family

If you could have had the number and genders of children of your dreams, what would you have called them?

I've always had a fantasy of living in some West London mansion with a slightly alternative husband and family that do lots of sophisticated, theatrical London things - I'm a London yummy mummy wannabe I guess Grin
I would have 6 girls:
Giselle Evangeline
Miranda Faith
Kiki Mariella
Xanthe Arabella (I actually used this one irl)
Aphra Genevieve
Astrid Georgina those last two would be twins - I would never actually match twins' initials but this is fantasy world)

I would have loads of kids

Francesca (Frankie)
Calista (Callie)
Minerva (Minnie)
Aurora (Rory)
Quinn (She might feel a bit left out though with her short non A ending 1 syllable name)

Ezekiel (Zeke)
Micah
Nico
Arlo

I might use one of these on the next baby.

I didn't have enough children to use up all the names. And DP vetoed both Clovis and Constantine for DS.

Really curious as to what stopped people actually naming their kids these names?

I would live in a lovely big house on the coast with an amazing sea view & huge gardens, ideal for den building and exploring. And probably a private beach too Grin.

My children would be;

Marcus
Isaac
Levi

Poppy
Iris
Holly

I have two DSs but all of the boys' names above were vetoed by DH. I have one DD who does have one of my girls' names list - but the other two were unusable for other reasons!

Well if DD (Eleanor) had had the sisters I hoped for then they would have been Hannah or Harriet and Miranda.
Had she had brothers then Ciaran and Daniel.

angharadthesplendid to be honest everybody calls her Tiggy so pronunciation isn't a problem. We are the only ones that call her Antigone (but we call her Tiggy more). It was only when her name was announced we had a couple of pronunciation questions and two negative comments about the Oedipus/incest thing.

Love Martha with the nickname Moss. It was actually the name of a Great Great Aunt of mine. Alas, we have a surname that makes it the name of a notorious inner London school that's regularly on the news!

Also adore Manon and Thalia

Shemozzle so jealous you have an Antigone! Do you have many pronoun citation issues with it in RL? Also love Saskia and Bodhi for a boy as mentioned by PP's.

I only have fantasy girl names. I like writing stories so I used them as character names in one of them (kids of the main character).
Scarlet Lucy
Meredith Amelia
Fleur Madeline
Imogen Naomi (the surname begins with K so she gets the nn Inky Smile)
Callie Helen, full name Calista
First three are triplets and second lot twins, sounds crazy I know but it's fiction hahaha! And no not a published story or anything it exists only in a word document/my brain. It's only for fun, too, I don't intend to ever publish it Grin

Not sure about boy names. In fact I've only ever really thought of girl names- previous names I liked were Faye, Katie, Emma and Luna.

Ahhh, escapism!

Three boys.

Wolfgang (Wolfie), Soren and Asa.

No one would comment because we'd live in Brooklyn and their father would be Adam Driver.

Ha!

I can't think of middle names though

fitzbilly · 18/06/2016 09:47

Oooh I these threads! My fantasy family names have changed a lot over the years, currently they are:

Xanthe and Peta for girls
Rex and Bodi for boys

I think I would be brave enough to use the irl, I already have one of them.

And yes, we take nice looking walls in meadows full of wild flowers or we ask go surfing together in my fantasies. They never argue or moan eitherGrin

We would live in the country and own some farm animals. The children would all get married at the house because it's so good for parties.

Alas, we live in London and are awaiting ivf for our first. Fantasy lives rock!
