Re: 8 Children - What would yours be?
Your Xanthe Opal Esther is like my Patience Daffodil - The combo we never change :)I really like the flow of Xanthe Opal Esther. I'm not too keen on Opal, but I really like Xanthe and EstherAvielle and Reverie are not my style, but I like CarysSylvie Rowan Delphine is gorgeousI really like Aderyn, Zuri is nice just not my style, not really a fan of AlaiaGeneva Ruby Iselin is cute. I especially like IselinAugust and Felix are too of my least favourite boys names. They're just not for me. I like Matthias though a lotSonnet Elodie Maeve is not my style, but it is adorableI like Griffin and OscarYour combos are a bit more 'out there' than my tastes but some great names here and they make a very interesting sibset :)

Haha yep, XOE is my perfect girls name in every signle way. I'm guessing you feel the same about PD :)Opal and Esther are after each of my grandmothers. Plus Opal is the national gemstone of Australia so I like that connection, plus it's my favourite. Plus I looked after two little girls for 3 years named Ella and Olivia and I like that the middle initials remind me of them (not named after them but a nice association for me). Plus long boring story about a particular opal in my family that adds to it. So all around loaded with meaning there.Zuri also has really important significance which I prefer not to spell out here, but it's there for a good reason :)
Alaia is there because I'm in love with the meaning (Joyful). I also have it on my fn list.I go back and forth between that and Geneva Ruth Iselin. Ruby honours my mum. Ruth honours the same grandmother that Opal does (and inadvertently one of my two sisters.) I like the posible occasional nn Evie Rue (for Geneva Ruby/Ruth).Iselin I found on a coke bottle! When I was in Norway in August they were doing the "Share a Coke with...." promotion with popular Norwegian names (also in Finland with Finnish names and Sweden with Swedish etc! Drank a lot of coke on my summer travels ;) ) and Iselin was one of them. Had never heard it before but fell in love. Love that it reminds me of Norway (which I fell head over heels for and wanted to move to). Would have it on my first name list if it wasn't so similar to the Isabella names, and I'm not fond of the nn Issy.
