My 18 Children

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

In a discussion about the Duggars, someone challenged the community in general to come up with good names for 18 kids. So I decided to do that! I used an online "coin-flipper" to decide on the boy-girl order and tried to come up with each name individually, as if, although I planned to have a big family, I was never sure exactly which child would be the last. (Incidentally, there is no way in heck I'm having 18 kids. I'm thinking 4, 5 tops.) I didn't try to match up particularly well with my last name because they would have my husband's last name and he doesn't exist yet!

1. Alice Isabella
2. Evan Joseph
3. Gabriel Jonathan
4. Tobias Jordan
5. Jonah Luke
6. Simon Alexander
7. Lily Claire
8. Miriam Rose
9. Nathan Dominic
10. Owen David
11. Callista Serenity (this is my sci-fi baby. If I'm having 18 kids, I am using my guilty pleasure names!)
12. Levi Justin
13. Charlotte Eve
14. Elinor Juliet
15. Hannah Beth
16. Violet Annabelle
17. Naomi Evelyn
18. Jasper Gavin

WDYT?

Bonus points to whoever can spot 4 sci-fi characters and 3 Twilight characters... though I promise you, they were not all on purpose...

Did you know you used Archer and Jocelyn twice? also Francis/Frances.

I love Rowan, Felicity, Josephine, Sawyer, and Archer.

yeah - I know I'll never have 18 kids, but I think for the few I do have, some of the first names might be the same as others' middle names. Like I want one daughter named Rowan Mary, and another named Mary. I spread those ones out for this list though.

I don't know why, but a lot of your names seem pirate-esque to me, like Finley Jack and Sawyer Cushing. I like it! Nice choices overall.

Haha - I never noticed that!
