The "Name Your Family of Ten" Game . . .
I was reading about big families online, and I thought it'd be fun if we all made the same family (one I've invented). Follow the instructions to name your family (first names, middle names and nicknames), and when you're done, invent a little bit about them - where do you live? What is your house like? What kind of school do the kids go to? EtcHave fun!DH:
DW:DS1 (15): Your biological son, choose a name from your favouritesDD1 (12): Your biological daughter, choose a name from your favouritesDS4 (10): Your son adopted from foster care at age 7, bio parents gave him a hippie nameDD2 (9): Your biological daughter, choose a name from your favouritesDS5 (9): Your son adopted from the Asian country of your choice, aged 5; you have kept his birth nameDS2 (6): Your biological son, choose a name from your favouritesDD4 (5): Your daughter adopted from the Eastern European country of your choice, aged 3; you have kept her birth name but she has a nickname from your own countryDD3 (3): Your biological daughter, choose a name from your favouritesDD5 (2): Your daughter adopted from your home country; if you're in an English-speaking country she was given a kre8iv name by her bio parents; if you're not, choose a word name that is highly unlikely in your own language, and tell us what it means.DS3 (0): Your biological son, choose a name from your favouritesSo, these are your kids (replace DS1 etc with their usual name, ie the nickname if they use one):DS1 (15), DD1 (12), DS4 (10), DD2 (9), DS5 (9), DS2 (6), DD4 (5), DD3 (3), DD5 (2), DS3 (0).

The kids carpool with the neighbors to the closest public school. We know the neighbors very well, and about half of them have kids of their own. Our family is far bigger than any of the others though!

Julia--The beauty queen. Julia loves everything involving hair, makeup, and fashion. She loves sketching her own clothing designs and making other people look fabulous. She has decided that she would like to become a fashion designer or cosmetologist. She also takes choir because she discovered, after filling in for a girl in one of Miranda's shows, that she can sing. Wally--When first adopted, Wally was nervous but excited. His previous home was a disaster, so he was scared this would end up similarly, but was thrilled at the idea of starting over. Wally likes playing sports and has discovered that he has quite a knack for them. Because of his love, he takes 7:00 AM classes and 4:00 PM classes to fit in high-level academics as well as 7 sports a year: Basketball, Baseball, Football, Lacrosse, Soccer, Swimming, and Track. Miranda--The drama queen around here. Miranda was, of all of the children, the loudest and most frequent cryer. A relative joked that Miranda was practicing her voice. Little did anyone know that she would turn up with one! Just like mom, she wants to be an actress and singer. She doesn't take choir at school, but she does take acting and takes one singing lesson every two weeks. Henry--We decided to keep his name, Heng Fu, but when school rolled around, we panicked.

He met and married Emma Tippins while he was in college studying to be a Latin professor. Emma Tippins is a beautiful Slavic vixen with long flowing hair and wonderful skills at everything, she was also the smartest person in the room at all times. Alphonse is still a Latin professor, while Emma writes books, gives speeches, teaches history, and plays a mean viola, depending on her fancy.

Their house is old, and desperately needs remodeling, but that's a bit difficult to do when there are ten children with other, equally immediate needs--so money's being put away, slowly but surely. They have quite a lot of yard, including a pasture and barn, but no large animals like horses. There are chickens in the coop, since Morph and Evey have been trying their hands at raising them for 4-H, and in the house, from Des' begging, there is a small aquarium with a guppy for each of the children in it. And Jiji is the little black cat that they adopted (and promptly named after the kitty in Kiki's Delivery Service) a year ago.They have four bedrooms total at the moment, which is definitely not enough, but--well, they're working on it. Morph, Des, and Sunan share a room, Evey, and Ruxi share another, Eddy, Annie, Kitty, and Britta are in a third, and baby Nat sleeps in with Harvey and Lia. The children are enrolled in the local public school district, which is a very good one, on the whole. Morph is a sophomore in high school, Evey is in the seventh grade at the middle school, Des is in the fifth grade at the middle school, Ruxi and Sunan are in the third grade at the elementary school, Eddy is in kindergarten at the elementary school, and the youngest four stay at home during the day.As far as the children themselves go:Morph has defied his extended family's general expectation that he was doomed by his given name to be a dark, surly goth kid; he's mostly into academics, particularly science team, and loves watching Jeopardy! on television when he's not working on homework or working as a cashier at the local McDonald's. While he can certainly be surly, he's generally a stable kid, who is more than willing to give various siblings piggy-back rides when they ask.

My family lives on a large bush property in the south-west of Western Australia. The house is specially constructed, with enough bedrooms that the kids are only sharing two to a room. There's heaps of space to play outside and the kids spend most of their playtime making cubbies or playing sports together. Everyone from Jeannie down to Annie goes to the local primary school (years 7, 5, 4, 4, 1 and Pre-school) and Evey, Keali and Lewis will go there in the future. Daniel travels an hour each day to a private Grammar school which is where the rest of the kids will go when they hit high school.
