Okay, so yes, I'm bored Hypothetically speaking, if we were to have a 7th child (& no, it's not going to happen!), what should be we name him or her? Our current children are Kaitlyn, Lauren, Jared, Zac, Ryan & Grace (so we won't be re-using any of those initials, and will probably be avoiding "C" as well). Our last name starts with H, but that doesn't necessarily rule out H as a first initial. The middle name will be either Patrick or Ruby (family names), so the first name must suit. I'm thinking Samuel for a boy (also like Samson, Gary, Beau, Nicholas & Joseph but they have all been definitively ruled out). For a girl I like Penny, Maggie, Peggie Holly & Allison, but I'm just not sold on any of them. So if you're bored, play with me Dh refuses to play

thanks for playing kerilyntaryn! Me and DH's names begin with S & V, so I should have probably ruled out those initials as well. Eliza & Olivia I can't do, due to them being 1st cousins' names. Isaac (as much as I LOVE this name) is far to close to Zac to be an option. I love Penelope, and went through an Eli phase a while back. Also keen on Adam. I think I'm regressing with my girls names preferences; Kaitlyn was a bit of a '90s name, Lauren an '80s name, Grace a timeless classic (IMO). For this hypothetical girl baby I'm thinking another old time classic.....but can't think of any

I'm not sure most of your girl options would be great with MN Ruby? So I won't suggest Polly or Molly either lol. Meg Ruby? Haydn Patrick?

Of your girls' names I like Holly best, but I don't really think it works with Ruby. Marian Ruby Abigail Ruby Angela Ruby Aidan Patrick Brendan Patrick Declan Patrick

With your other childrens names I would choose: Owen Patrick OR Eamon Patrick for a boy AND Annabel Ruby OR Claire Ruby
