Over the last 6 years we've had 6 boys.
Orion Thomas Novak W
Cyrus Oliver Novak W
Ignatius Benjamin Novak W
Magnus David Novak W
Humphrey Andrew Novak W
Atticus William Novak W
And joy of all joys we are to be blessed with a daughter in May! However we are having some trouble finding names we like that fit with our Surname Winchester.
We would really like to continue the pattern of a less common, more unique name for the first name and a more traditional name as the first middle name. Must fit with Novak as a second middle name.
She is going to be our last child and is three years younger than Atticus.

Why is it implausible? OP said 6 boys in 6 years, not 6 in the LAST 6, why is it not possible that the OP had her last baby in 2014, one in 2013, one in 2012 and then triplets in 2009? Just because 'Irishtriplets' is first in her username doesn't mean they came first in real life...or the 'Irish triplets' came first and the triplets came after, but Atticus was the youngest of them and so is the youngest sibling of the new baby?

No she didn't. She said 'over the LAST 6 years we've had 6 boys'

RiverdaleJughead · 31/03/2017 01:32

I suggest going Greek to combat those powerful male names - Artemis, demeta, Persephone.
Or Celtic/Gaelic - belphobe, Boudicca .

MommaGee · 31/03/2017 01:33

Well if the boys are 3-6 years you wouldn't say " from 3-6 years ago we had 6 boys" your just say" over the last 6 years" because it has been within the last 6 years...

Arianna Rose?

Isthisusernamefree · 31/03/2017 01:36

Somerville you are totally right, apologies, it's late, I should go to bed 🙈

In that case I am confused - there are 156 weeks in 3 years, if the first three were born at 40 weeks and the triplets to 34, that leaves 2 weeks across 3 years to conceive 4 times.

Technically doable I suppose!

Ermitrude - I can see why divides people but I think its nn 'trudie' v sweet!

harrietm87 · 31/03/2017 03:56

OP have you had triplets then twins plus a singleton in the past 6 years? (Sorry off topic but I'm intrigued and impressed). Also love your boys names. What about Evangeline or Josephine for your daughter?

Joeybee · 31/03/2017 06:21

Wow two sets of triplets and then another baby!
With the names you already have I could see:
Persephone
Wilhelmena
Callista
Isabelle/Isobel
Marigold
Clara
Amelia
Raina
Amarantha
Christabel
Alannah

ScarlettDarling · 31/03/2017 06:25

Op, I too am dying to find out how you had 6 boys in 6 years, you are one busy lady!

GordonJacobs · 31/03/2017 07:24

Come on folks, don't believe everything you read! Also - giving all your childrens' full names with surnames? Punch of salt people!

GordonJacobs · 31/03/2017 07:25

-*pinch not punch!

ClaryBeanHorshAndMe · 31/03/2017 08:24

Gordon

You're most likely right.
But the names of her sons are so awesome. And people are suggesting some pretty awesome ones as well....

Footle · 31/03/2017 08:26

Septima?
Or Nova?

Somerville · 31/03/2017 08:27

Oh Wilhelmina - good suggestion.

I vote for Wilhelmina Anna Novak Winchester.

Somerville · 31/03/2017 08:29

Septima? Seventh in Latin, cool.
And surely this chil needs an extra name to help her balance out the boys. In which case;

Septima Polly Anne Novak Winchester.

ClaryBeanHorshAndMe · 31/03/2017 08:48

Wilhelmina is really really cool!

And Anna or Anne is the perfect middle name, I agree.

But I think Polly is a bit to sweet for the sister of 6 brothers. Pepper would be better, imo.

Wilhelmina Pepper Anne N W

Somerville · 31/03/2017 08:49

But then the initials on her boarding school tuck box aren't nearly so wonderful.

ClaryBeanHorshAndMe · 31/03/2017 08:50

Somer

WANW? What's so wonderful about that? ;D

Somerville · 31/03/2017 08:56

Was changing the last letter to make a rude word not a thing at everyone's school? My post doesn't make much sense if it wasn't...!

Somerville · 31/03/2017 08:57

Which at least makes it right in keeping with the rest of this thread, I guess. Grin

ClaryBeanHorshAndMe · 31/03/2017 08:58

Oh... Idk.

We didn't do that. But we didn't need to put all our initials on our items anyway... We just had to get them back if somebody took them ;)

Btw, I think Pepper would be a pretty awesome and "new" first name?
