Re: If you had children tomorrow
in reply to a message by Cora
A challenge for one, usually I'm set on what I'd name at least two sons/daughters but I'm in a transitionary mood at the moment, there's only one name that's a definite.Let's see:
Charles Frederick (hope that future partner [whoever that may be] likes this because I'm pretty set on it)
Theodore Darcy (think I'm near enough settled on Theodore for a second son and loving Darcy at the moment, need to have it somewhere)
Sebastian Edmund (Sebastian I'm a bit iffy on at the moment, Edmund is a revived favourite [blame the Blackadder])
Isabel Rosemary (I think for today, still not sure on Isabel Kerensa)
Josephine Kerensa (Hmm? Getting bored of Josephine Grace, I never thought I'd have this complaint but Grace is getting too popular! It's number 2 this year for England/Wales and that's just first names, imagine how many have it for a middle name.)
Rosamund Harriet (I'm a bit bothered about the closeness of Jos- and Ros- but I love Rosamund and always have.)
Maybe two middle names (sorry for using this thread as a sounding board)
Charles Frederick Darcy (I like this, handsome I think)
Theodore William Aubrey (again, really loving Aubrey and want it somewhere)
Sebastian Edmund John (Yes, John is common but I love it.)
Isabel Rosemary Jane (Jane is another I'm really loving at the moment and though I've already used John, they're only the third middle name))
Josephine Kerensa Grace (I know, Grace is in there but I still love it so much)
Rosamund Harriet Eve (Rosamund Eve is an old combo)Regardless of middle names at the moment sextuplets would be:
Charles "Charlie"
Theodore "Theo"
Sebastian "Bas"
Isabel
Josephine
Rosamund "Rosa"I'll shut up now :)

Wow! What a delightfully gorgeous and classic sibset!Charles "Charlie" - very handsome
Theodore "Theo" - too cute
Sebastian "Bas" - not very keen on the nn though, personally I prefer Seb. If pronounced like 'Baz' it might grow on me...
Isabel - :)
Josephine - so under appreciated imo
Rosamund "Rosa" - adorable

I really dislike two middle names, but I love your parings.Let's see:
Charles Frederick - This is completely Poppylena.
Theodore Darcy - I'm not sure that this flows.
Sebastian Edmund - Great for you, too lordly for me.
Isabel Rosemary - I love this, it's simple and lovely.
Josephine Kerensa - I like Kerensa quite a bit, don't like Jospehine, but it flows.
Rosamund Harriet - My favorite by farCharles Frederick Darcy (I like this, handsome I think)
Theodore William Aubrey - I love this, Theodore William is great.
Sebastian Edmund John - Love Edmund John
Isabel Rosemary Jane - Love Rosemary Jane
Josephine Kerensa Grace - Love Kerensa Grace
Rosamund Harriet Eve - Love Harriet Eve :-D

Charles Frederick - yes, I defy anyone to steal it (j/k :) )Theodore Darcy flows to be because I've used it as part of a combo in the fan fiction I write (which will be why it came so readily earlier) so I've said/written it over and over again so. I have that problem.

Oh wow, you have brilliant taste!Charles Frederick -So handsome, masculine, and underused!
Theodore Darcy -I love Theodore, and Darcy pairs well with it.
Sebastian Edmund -I never liked Sebastian, but I'm starting to. Edmund is fabulous.
Isabel Rosemary Jane -Beautiful. I would never use Isabel due to popularity, but still lovely!
Josephine Kerensa -Great!
Rosamund Harriet -Oooh! I must say, I like Rosamund Harriet Eve more, and Rosamund Eve more than that, but they are all gems.Don't shut up, then I can't get so many ideas! :D

Thanks! :)You too, I often have 'Wish I'd thought of that' moments when looking at your list. :)

I love Isabel Rosemary; I would definitely pick that over Isabel Kerensa, and I do like Kerensa, but I just think Rosemary is better with Isabel. Kerensa is very nice with Josephine, though. I'd keep them like that.I've never been a big fan of -fred- names, but Charles Frederick is a handsome combo. Maybe there's hope for me, yet.I am less bothered by the Jo- / Ro- thing than by Rosamund and Edmund in the same set. I'd use Sebastian Edward, which is also nice, and keep Rosamund.By the way, that's what these threads are for -- to be a sounding borad. I've tried to reply to some of the stuff you brought up, and not just say which combos I like. :) Hope it helps.

I liked Isabel Rosemary when it popped into my head earlier (Ciarda had suggested Isabel Rosamund the last time and I liked the suggestion of a Ros- name), Josephine Kerensa seems familiar, I hope I haven't nicked it from someone else on here.I never noticed both Rosamund and Edmund (I nearly went with Edward as well), I must confess though, one of the first families I made up (and still have because I can't bear to change them) had triplets in it that were Edmund Peter, Verity Anne and Rosamund Marie.

Funny, but I just noticed in this one that you have a Rosemary and Rosamund in the same set. How is that not more obvious than the -mund. The minds of namenerds work is really random ways. Edmund and Rosamund are both nice names, so I can understand the dilemma. It wasn't until recently (and with the help of a certain sonnet writer) that I started appreciating -mund names.

Oh yes (I think my love of Ros- names is showing).Rosamund and Edmund are old, old favourites (the former because of a series of school stories called 'The Chalet School' that I read a lot, the author used some wonderful names, and the latter because I used to be obsessed with Blackadder). They seem wonderfully medieval.
