What are your children's names?

I'd like to hear what everyone has actually named their children. There are a lot of suggestions like Jago and Aurelia that, frankly, you never actually hear. I suggest username changes for privacy though!

My two boys are Westley Orion and Scott Lennox.

How old are the children, though? Big difference if they’re babies or if they’re in their 20s.

Not going to list names however I completely agree, the ridiculous names I see on Mumsnet threads don't seem to exist in the real world 😂

I'm just interested in seeing what people have actually named their children, whether that was a week ago or 20 years ago. No need for snippy replies.

Love the name Ximena! Cora Pearl is also very sweet.
