Looking it up, I do remember her from the show. More because of her and her husband not speaking each other's languages, but still loving/communicating. How the 25 kids slipped my mind, I don't know haha. Anyway, fun name challenge! I'll go with the order I found on the wiki, just because.Pandora Beatrix Fae

I like a lot of the names on your imaginary 25. They're kind of all over the place and that feels realistic to me. By like kid 6 or 7 I'd imagine a couple just hoping to find a name they both like!I cannot imagine giving birth to one child let alone 25 - that's just insane to me. It's also not healthy or safe... but if I had the means I would happily adopt a bunch of children. You don't usually get to rename adopted children though lolBut if I somehow had 25 kids I'd put some of my Guilty Pleasures into play:August Bedivere
Benjamin Apollo
Bram Oberon
Damian Aramis
Eben Galahad
Gabriel Éleuthère
Leon Corentin
Logan Percival
Lysander Caspian
Remy Gawain
Ronan Vesemir
Theodore LucanAdela Jubilee
Artemisia Aude
Astrid Ourania
Clara Brisen
Edurne Tempest
Eseld Zephine
Genevieve Kyne
Georgiana July
Ilona Charlotte
Lyra Ombeline
Mina Eydis
Theodosia Hella
Zella Celandine
Had some fun trying to make new combos rather than use my usual go-tos.

I've included my actual children's names. And, just as I did in real life, I've omitted Laura, because Beatrice is a family name that I always knew I'd use, and with Laura it's too Italian 101.Adrian

Are you British? Just from looking at this list I'd assume British lol I like a lot of these.

I'm South African; we speak British English and for a long time the UK was our main source of 'culture', however defined, because the country only got TV in the early 1970s. The apartheid government tried to keep foreign influences out, especially ones that might show - shock! horror! - black and white people socialising on equal terms. And satellite or cable TV only started happening in, I think, the 1990s, so yeah, formative years ... now it's edge-to-edge Disney, music videos and also, thank goodness, National Geographic, NatGeoWild and CNN.Glad you like the list. A lot are honouring.
