Family with 9 children
A woman appeared in an article for having a restaurant style salad bar in her home kitchen. She wanted to encourage healthy snacking, and if her kids “don’t care for what is planned for lunch or dinner, he or she is welcome to partake from the salad/sandwich bar.” Her and her husband have 9 children.Anita (19)
TJ (17)
Nathaniel (14)
Mason (12)
Madison (12)
Zachary (8)
Jacob (5)
Noah-James (4)
Charity (10 months)What do you think of the names? If you had 9 children (6 boys and 3 girls), what would you name them?Edited title of post.

I glanced at Noah-James and Charity right next to each other and briefly thought one of the kids was named Noam-Chomsky!I want to know what TJ stands for. I like Anita, Nathaniel, and maybe Noah and James but separately.
Vladimir (Vladik, Volodya)
Aleksey (Alyosha)
Zmiter (Zmitya)
Viktor (Vitya)
Lavrentiy (Lavrya, Lavrik)
Artemiy (Tyosha, Tyomik)
Ivanna (Iva, Ivanya)
Solomiya (Solya)
Irina (Ira, Irinya, Irinchik)
The names in my opinion are all fine, but Noah-James is a bit weird. I don't really like TJ either. Anita sounds too close to my name for me to use, but I do like it.
I agree Madison and Mason are unfortunate twin names. 2 letters away from being the same name is too close for comfort.

that's kind of fun the girls are like perfectly spaced between the boys like bookends on each end and the middle. It "balances" it in a way, lol. I l love Charity, the other names are decent but kind of boring, but harmless. I would prefer Noah-James broken up and wonder the story behind him having the double barrel, if it is similar to my sister's double barrel story.. For me today lets go with: 1.) Lavinia Rose
2.) Adrian Nicholas
3.) Ambrose Josiah
4.) Bastian Dominic
5.) Daphne Lorelei
6.) James Leonardo "Jamie"
7.) Julius Clark
8.) Henry Jasper
9.) Felicity Caroline

Anita: This was mentioned, but it sounds like “I need a _”. I actually have an inside joke with my friends about “Anita Pen”.
it's also a name commonly used for Pun/joke names along with Ima and Seymour
They're fine -- nothing egregious. If I had 3 girls and 6 boys:Laura Christine
Edith Mirabel
Marie Genevieve
Julian Paul
Elliott Michael
Stephen Nicholas
Robin Valentine
Leonard Octavian
Dean Sullivan
Anita and Charity really are the standouts. Using the same initials (and feeling a tad fanciful today):

Timon
Neville
Mungo
Mercy
Zorro
Jolyon
Nils-Jacques

Anita & Charity stand out a little here, whereas all the other names are rather ordinary.
Nevertheless, I like Nathaniel & Jacob.6 boys & 3 girls:
Alec, Cecil, Eloi, Nicolai, Sebastian & Yannic Ksenia, Persis & Saskia

M: Paul

F: Beatriz
Most of them aren't really exciting, not that mine would really be either. I would like to know what TJ stands for. It seems like Mason and Madison are twins, so I don't like how matchy they are. Madison also doesn't really seem to fit in with the other girls' names. I like Anita, but it seems a bit old. I'm not sure on my feelings for Charity. I with Noah-James was separated instead of hyphenated.
I like using honoring names, especially in the middle.

Mason and Madison are too close for siblings IMO. Charity is so unexpected.
I like Anita, Nathaniel, Madison, ZacharyJacob is okI like Noah and James but not hyphenated
I like Anita, Nathaniel, Jacob and Noah-James.My nine children: Celeste, Evangeline, Genevieve, Marguerite, Ambrose, Gabriel, Julian, Tobias & Xavier.
Anita and Charity are unexpected in a good way. The others are pretty typical. I like TJ, Mason, and Jacob.I would name them: Callista, Twila, Zenobia, Casper, Florian, Isadore, Linus, Wilbur, Zephyr
For once, I'll use some names I've used.Caroline

I like TJ as a nickname, Nathaniel (prefer Nathan), Jacob and Noah. Charity seems like a bit of an outlier to me.
My choices would be: Asher, Noah, Jake, Edward, Tyler, Robin, Lauren, Willow and Freya.
Same initials: Alice, Tyler, Noah, Maximilian, Mila, Zeke, Nico and Cosette.
Nathaniel and Jacob are nice.
Anita definitely stands out. I don't think I've ever met an Anita who was my own age or younger. I like the name (though you have to be careful with the last name or you have a silly or unfortunate sentence on your hands) but it doesn't fit in at all with the other kids' names.
I assume TJ is something like Tom Junior.Madison and Mason for twins feels kinda lame.
