[X] Daughter 1 (Kattarin)
[X] Daughter 2 (Johanna)
[X] Oskar


I mean naming the sickly kid Oskar is either tempting fate, or giving it the middle finger... either way will end up interesting.

The last vote was a typo I made, could you edit that to Son 1 (Oskar) please?

Yeah, TBH, just him being smol doesn't make him wrong, it just means that he's not going to be a front line killblender like most of the rest of the family is, and that's fine.

Nobody told Edward Elric that because he was smol he couldn't be a protagonist!
 
Can we please not name these kids after someone like what always happens? It's getting really damn confusing to tell people apart because people keep getting named after someone and it's getting more and more common to get confused about who is talking about when you have things like 3 family members named Natasha. Pretty sure that this is a good reason for the one Steve Limit trope.

Honestly it's getting ridiculous at this point.
 
"Or," Raina says archly, "You see if he can grow on his own two feet. I've seen it all, young things. Strapping young babies dying of the sick a year later, little nothings like that turning into the tallest damn boys and girls in the nation. Rather than just throwin' magic at it and hopin' Rhya laughs with you or at you."

I have to say, this is a very on-point comment by Raina and completely true. The smallest calf can grow into the largest bull.
 
I fuckin knew this would be an issue when we had a Hohenzollern marry someone who wasn't strongly built. There is too much badass packed into a Hohenzollern to marry weak bodied women/men.
 
[X] GM's Choice

Going with this and hoping that the QM doesn't name any of these kids after someone else, for what feels like the hundredth time. Looking at other people's votes rather not risk it.
 
Changed my vote.

Do you want to piss off the Fuerbachs? Naming a kid after Johanna is just going to rub salt in the wound.

Naming a kid for Kattarin might buy brownie points with her. Might. I don't think she's sentimental like that, though. It could imply that we approve of the 'Bloody Tzarina' 's more...bloody and disreputable actions to the rest of the Empire than we actually do.

I edited it, I changed the daughters' names to Maria Anna, and Griselda.
 
On the other hand (in reference to my previous post), Kattarin did name one of her daughters Natasha, so maybe she is sentimental like that under all the ice.


I liked Red Bovine's post about names repeating too much...However, I was thinking Odelia and/or Gertude (one of Freddy's sibling whom he apparently liked) for the daughters as well.

I didn't bring up Theodore Roosevelt as a suggestion for a name, but it is starting to grow on me. I could see him naming his son Oskar as well, though.
 
Huh, looks like the count after magnus is gonna be female.

That's neat.

I'm not 100% sure, but isn't Ostland's succession laws agnatic-cognatic primogeniture? So the male heir gets priority and only a female heir is chosen when there isn't a male heir to inherit, I'm pretty sure that's the case. So we could have his eldest daughter be heir but that would probably mean disinheriting him, which would be a really shitty thing to do to the poor guy.
 
Not that I really care about him being small, but I think curing his weak constitution might be a good idea if we want the baby to survive to die by old age.
Some divine assistance after he survives being a baby might be in order.

Same because having two Magnus' is kind of confusing and is only kept from being a complete hard to read is because the two people are kept many, many words and contexts apart.
