babynamesInspired by the name in this post. If you had to give a child several names (one first and three middles minimum) for some reason (you're royalty or it's a family tradition, whatever), what would you name him or her?
My response:
Girl: Genevieve Cordelia Hermione Eloise Jane
Boy: Tristram Phineas Rupert William Louis
The girl's name came to me right away, but the boy's name took forever! I went through all sorts of combinations.
Can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

Britain is kind of neat!

Lorenzo is my grandfathers name and now I know lots if people may use it because of Snooki, so it is relegated to a middle name for me! ;(

Date: 2012-09-25 05:05 am (UTC)Jonah Robert Raymond Barry.
Raymond is the first name of both my father and grandfather and Barry is a name that was once popular in Australia (but that you don't see that often anymore).
For a girl I would have picked Adele Cherie, but if I had to make it longer I would make it:
Adele Cherie Phoebe Corinne.
Adele is my grandmother's middle name, Cherie is a mash up of my mother's middle name (Cheryl) and my mother-in-laws first name (Marie), Corinne is my middle name as well as my other grandmother's first name, and Phoebe is my sister's first name.
I don't think I will give my kids more than one middle name, but I have to admit this activity was fun! XD

I'm kind of weird like that, lol (these are only names that I would specifically use if I have kids with Prince Harry, which...won't happen). But these names combine my family, his family, and English royal history, which I basically majored in, so it's also a chance for me to nerd out. I just had fun coming up with them, lol, I am not actually so insane.

Date: 2012-09-26 07:49 pm (UTC)Girl: Hannah Marian Grace Élodie
(Hannah is one of my fave girl names; next two are the names of my husband's grandmothers, and the last is the middle name of one of my best friends)
Boy: Edmond Félix Melbourne Hector
(two French names my husband's not keen on, I think the name of one of my hubby's grandfathers, and another name we both like)
