Yet more name talk...

allroundthesun

Since we're on a roll...

If you have kids and you're comfortable sharing, what are their names?

And whether you have them or not, if you suddenly had a/another baby tomorrow - or your wife/girlfriend/some woman you had random casual sex with did, for the guys - (just go with it here and pretend suddenly having a baby wouldn't be totally insane/impossible), and it was totally up to you, what would you name it? Boy and girl.

I have children - lots of children! I'll start with the biological:

Stephanie Lynn (aged 29)
Steven LaRue (named after his dad - aged 28)
William Anthony (aged 26)
Timothy Lee (deceased at age 3)

Now, the adopted:

Kayla Joy (got her at age 7, named by her bio mum - she's 15 now)
Chiquitta Chiquel (got her at age 2, named by bio mum - she's 9 now)
Ulishabelinda Shiane (got her at age 1, named by bio mum - she's 7 now)
Nathaniel Lee (got him when he was 11 hours old, named by us) - he's 6 now
Conrad Fernando (got him at 1 and 11 months, named by bio mum, he turned 2 in Feb)

We are also about to have another child (adopted). Court has already given us custody so we will name. We know it's a boy and so far we are still talking about names (he's due in July). Top name so far is Alexander - haven't a clue on a middle yet!

Don't have kids yet, but will definitely use Eleanor Katherine for a girl and Anatole Linus for a boy when I do; I've had them chosen for ages.

I looooove Ophelia for a girl, it's technically my second favourite, after Eleanor Katherine, but I can never use it :sad: so my realistic second favourite for a girl is Lillian Caroline or Caroline Lillian, can't decide which order I prefer. Anna Frances is my third favourite.

If I ever have two sons I'll be screwed because I don't really have a second favourite name for a boy. I like Emile, August, Milo, and Jude, but meh, not really enough to actually use. I used up all my major favourites for boys - Phineas, Henry, and Oliver - on my cats, oops.

I like "old lady" names for girls, and unusual, "eccentric" ones for boys (and yes, my poor hypothetical son will probably hate me for that).

Yes, I am a crazy over-planner - as in, I carefully decided which universities I wanted to apply to when I was 12 and stuck with the plan level crazy over-planner, for example. :laugh:

Love Bailey for a Girl too. I have two kids. One of each, Megan Elizabeth (which is so plain) and Julian River (I love his name but he hates it).

Others I like are:
For Girls:
Samatha Erin
Tyler Rae
(Can you tell I like boy names for girls)

For Boys:
Conner Micheal

Thanks. All my adopted children were first Child, Youth and Family (CYF) kids. They are also ALL from the same bio parents! When we went into fostering we told CYF we only wanted ONE child. See how well they listened? :-) LOL couldn't live without my kids, they are my life

Oh, that's a really cool connection for them to have with one another! Did you adopt Kayla, Chiquitta, Ulishabelinda, and Nathaniel all at the same time, or over time? Tell me to mind my own business if I am prying, I'm just always interested in hearing about families' experiences with adoption, as it's something I think I might like to do myself one day.

No worries, I don't mind in the least sharing the story. Kayla, Chiquitta and Ulisha were all uplifted (taken from the bio home) at the same time. Kayla and Chiquitta were placed together in an emergency foster care family (emergency foster care families agree to keep the children until a perm placement is found, normally no longer than 6 months). Ulisha due to some pretty serious physical issues had to go to a "trained" caregiver. Kayla was almost 7, Chiquitta 1 1/2, Ulisha 9 months.

We got Chiquitta first on her 2nd birthday exactly. CYF stated that Kayla needed time on her own to be a kid as she had bascially been mum since these kids were born. After a bit, Kayla would then come to us. Due to some issues Kayla had (she was abused horrifically) - she was placed as an "only" child at first. We got her when she was just shy of 9. Ulisha by this time had come to us when she turned a year old and the severe medical issues were sorted. When CYF found out that the bio mother was preganant (with Nathaniel) the court order that he be uplifted "in utero" so basically they lost custody while she was pregnant. So, we ended up picking up Nathaniel at the hospital when he was 11 hours old.

The bio mother got pregnant AGAIN - a friend of ours wanted a baby BADLY - we suggested her family as caregivers, CYF agreed and Tiffany ended up with them.

Two years down the track, bio mum gets pregnant AGAIN. This time she took off (with father) and ran around the country for almost 2 years with Conrad. They were tracked down though and when CYF called - we said yes, we would take him :=)

Now, AGAIN, she's preggo! Court has ordered in utero uplifting - and judge as ordered us to be the caregivers So, new baby coming sometime in July

Oh wow, what an ordeal for the kiddos, they must be so strong! I'm so glad Kayla was able to enjoy being a kid finally and that Ulisha is healthy and that Conrad was found and brought home to you! And gosh, going to the hospital and bringing home such a tiny baby must have been such an experience! I'm so sad to hear what your kids went through, but how sweet that you found one another. Do they all see their sister Tiffany as well?
