Sooo in honor of the other excellent large family name game thread:
If you had to have, for whatever reason, a baker's dozen of children (13)
But any gender mix you want.
And any ONE of these themes for ALL of them, what would you pick?
Themes
Colours
Nature
Mythology and Magic
Your Own Religion (stay in one)
Same First Initial (Duggar style, but a more streamlined modern 13 kid mini-family)
Places - Cities, Countries, Continents
Bogan Names and/or Kreative Spellings
Unisex Names
One Culture/language (please specify)
When in doubt, specify if the name is for a boy or a girl, I'm slow sometimes.

I'll have a go too but not first!

I'm a sucker for Italian names. That would be too easy, so I've gone with places instead (most of which are in Italy :S) - boys are in bold.
Alba (Italy)
Alessandria (Italy)
Siena (Italy)
Augusta (Georgia, USA)
Georgia (USA)
Romeo (Italy)India
Madeleine (France)
Lucas (ancient Italy - Lucania)
Sofia (Bulgaria)
Paris Catalina (California, USA)
Charlotte (N Carolina, USA)
Looks like I'm having a lot of girls then
