Casablanca and her little brother Fitzcarraldo. If we decide to have a third we’ve chosen Se7en as a nice gender neutral name.

Definitely not Dumbo

Forrest for a boy and Matilda for girl!

I love this idea!
I'd have to have 6 children so I can call the last one It.
Otherwise:
Genevieve
Elizabeth
Orlando
Hudson
Apollo (or Wolverine, depending how bad the birth is!)
