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)

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I can't think of middle names though

Sophronia · 18/06/2016 11:00

Twin boys, River and Atlas, and a girl but not sure on a name.

Crunchymum · 18/06/2016 17:03

Oldest DD Indiana, twin girls Jean and Juna.

Baby boy Finn

NauticalIce · 19/06/2016 14:36

I don't have any children, but my ideal would be:

2 boys:
Noah
Elliot

1 girl:
Grace

Mrsfrumble · 20/06/2016 06:16

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!

knittedslippersx2 · 20/06/2016 06:39

I would have girl triplets.
Tabitha
Tallulah
Matilda

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.

AngharadTheSplendid · 22/06/2016 18:25

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.

AngharadTheSplendid · 22/06/2016 18:26

Also adore Manon and Thalia

FellOutOfBed2wice · 22/06/2016 18:27

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!

Shemozzle · 24/06/2016 17:47

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.

JanuaryJuniper · 25/06/2016 21:32

Well I have already used my two favourite names on my two doc Eli and Aphra so if I was to make it my fantasy family I would have one more boy and one more girl.......so

Eli, Aphra, Jude and Indie

hels71 · 25/06/2016 22:13

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.

MadameJosephine · 28/06/2016 11:06

Oooh I'd got to use all the names that have been vetoed by DC's dads!

2 girls Antigone and Emmeline
2 boys Edison and Darwin

MrsHathaway · 28/06/2016 11:31

Sebastian, Tristan and Juliet

All made completely impossible because of stupid surname

itfcbabe · 28/06/2016 12:43

I would have 4 girls and 3 boys ( I actually have 2 girls and 4 boys)

Girls would be
Clementine
Persephone
Temperance
Serafina

Boys
Atticus
Rafferty
Constantine

Would never have been able to use them in real life

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 28/06/2016 12:55

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!

Porcupinetree · 05/07/2016 13:47

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

JasperDamerel · 05/07/2016 20:29

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

Thewolfsjustapuppy · 05/07/2016 22:03

My girls would be
Phylida
Otilly
Billy
My boys
Dorian
Jago
Joselyn

DeltaSunrise · 06/07/2016 08:17

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.
