[Opinions] 19 kids and counting
I heard recently how the parents found themselves using all J names. It was kind of unintentional for the first few but then they didn't want to leave anyone out. If you don't know they had all J names. I was curious if you had 19 kids and chose all nature inspired names what the names would be. They had 10 boys and 9 girls

Ooof, as an active Fundy snarker since my deconstruction in adulthood.. I've read a lot of controversies in and out... even outside of infamous Josh... the idea of coming up with 19 names though does appeal for me so I will play along for fun even if talks of this family don't sit right in my stomach.
All the same initial: A
Adrian
Alastair
Aramis
Ambrose
Albion
Asterion
Algernon
Azriel
Apollo
Ambrosia
Anneliese
Ameline
Aracelia
Arietta
Arcadia
Adelia
Adrasteia
Astoria
Annora
All the same initial: E
Edmund
Eldric
Emmett
Elias
Emrys
Everald
Evangeline "Eva"
Elodie
Echo
Edessa
Endellion
Elisabeth "Elsa"
Enola
Emerald
Emmalyn
Estella
Evening Rose
Eleni
Etherea
What I would probably use IRL:
Adrian
Evangeline
James "Jamie"
Diana
Lavinia
Bastian
Seraphina
Henry
Elodie
Edmund

Oh my sweet summer child. There are more than 19. There's 20 I think. Either way, there's a whole reddit thread reserved for them. It's amazing.
In no particular order, 10 boys:
Valerian
Coriander
Ash
Rowan
Rush
Forest
Kestrel
Talon
River
Fox
9 girls:
Jessamine
Linnea or Linnet
Cassia

Juniper
Amber

Fun idea! (To name siblings with this theme, not to raise so many kids, lol! Nature names are my favorites and I could think of many more but they don't quite sound good together. Neither do Jasper and Caspian, but I love those too much to leave one out.
Boys:
Atlas
Zephyr
Jasper
Caspian
Ridge
Scirocco (type of wind)
Heathcliff 'Heath' or 'Cliff'
Indigo
Orion
Denali
Girls:
Gaia
Sierra
Iris
Luna
Skyla
November
Delphine (not technically a nature name but close to 'dolphin' in several languages)
Marigold
Cypress
I really like your list, especially Atlas, Cedar, Cliff, Marigold and Juniper!

Even though I have nine siblings myself I don’t think I can wrap my head around just how many kids 19 is, wow.
To make it easier I’d probably use all flower names for girls
Rosamund
Amaryllis
Marigold
Camellia
Primrose
Violetta
Hyacinth
Mayrose
Clementine (ok not really a flower but whatever)
Boys would be really hard
Kit
Peregrine
Robin
Todd
Jasper
Cosmo
Jonquil
Halcyon
Larkin
Finch

I'm not sure why but I have a hard time imagining nature names as masculine.
I love Ginger Aspen and Sussanah. Those are my favorites

I was having trouble thinking of boys names.
