You can do middle names too or just first. What would you name 10 boys?

Orlando
Julian
Lawrence
Felix
Sebastian
Gus (August maybe)
Dexter
Nicholas
Gabriel
Atticus

Only one of these is included in my sons' names. My last one would have definitely been called Orlando had she been a boy.

But that only works in batches if I knew I'd have a lot of sons when naming, otherwise in practice it would be more random.

Also number 7 needs a more magical name in case he has 7 sons and therefore has an actual wizards.

I agree - I can’t think of what I’d name the other 9 (I have a list of boys names, but names as brothers…?) but the 7th must be Septimus or another auspicious name.

Ah that brings back happy memories! I could never get through the whole list without sniggering when reading this to my DC, because one of them is called “soggy muff” <immature>
