[Opinions] Twelve children
This is family I came across online- with twelve children. These are their names, in age order:
Victoria
Andrew
Adam
Mara
Dash
Darla
Marvellous (B)
Martalya
Amelia
Delilah
DonovanDonnie
Modi (B)
What do you think? If you had to name twelve with:
One girl beginning with V
Two girls beginning with D
One girl beginning with A
Two girls beginning with M
Two boys beginning with D
Two boys beginning with A
Two boys beginning with M
what names would you use?
:)

Marvelous/Marvellous is what I would put in The Ridiculous category. Not sure about Modi, surely there are much better M names out there. As for the game:
Vale
Dione
Dahlia
Anwen
Marielle
Morgana
Donovan nn Donnie (my top D boy name!)
Dakota
Arlo
Amias
Maverick
Marshall

One girl beginning with V- VeraTwo girls beginning with D- Deandra, Delilah One girl beginning with A- AylaTwo girls beginning with M- Maryse, Miranda Two boys beginning with D- Desmond, Derek Two boys beginning with A- Alaric, Ambrose Two boys beginning with M- Montgomery, Morris
I like the first four (Victoria, Andrew, Adam, Mara), but then they had an abrupt change in style with Dash, which makes me think of the "Incredibles." Marvellous, Delilah, and Modi are the worst and along with Martalya sound random.Vivien

Everything, from nice (Delilah, Donovan), ok (Victoria, Andrew) to silly (Dash, Modi) and out of question (Marvellous, Martalya).Vivienne
Diane & Doris
Ariadne
Madlen & Marian
David & Dorian
Alec & Aaron
Michael & Martin
I like Victoria, Adam, Andrew, Amelia - but wouldn't have siblings with the same initials
One girl beginning with V - Vickie, not Victoria (Vickie is a good friend's full name)Two girls beginning with D - Dinah and DaisyOne girl beginning with A - AnnabelTwo girls beginning with M - Marianne and Margaret

Two boys beginning with D - David and, er, Derek?Two boys beginning with A - Adrian and AlastairTwo boys beginning with M - Martin and MichaelDash, nn for one of Santa's reindeer? Darla is (a) dreadful and (b) rhymes with Mara, which isn't very good itself. Marvellous and Modi are as close as names can get to child abuse. How to pronounce Martalya - marTALya or MARtaLEEa? Not good either way and too close to Mara. The first four names and the last three are pretty well OK, but the middle ones do their owners no favours.
Marvellous and Martalya are interesting. Modi is strange. I like Delilah. I prefer Dash on a boy (short for Dashiell). The rest are fine but not my style.My dozen (would never though):
Valentina
Dulcinea & Delphia
Anastasia
Maristella & Mirabel
D’Artagnan & Dashiell
Alaric & Ariston
Maximilian & Magnus

It is fun to see Amadeus!
It kind of feels like two sibsets pushed together, with the more classic names and the more unique names!Vivienne "Vivi"

Delilah "Lilah"
Anastasia "Stasia"
Madeleine "Maddie"

The names went from boring to outrageous to something in between!
