    Totally a 7th kids name if I have ever seen one. Usually the parents have given up at that stage and are just letting the kids raise the other kids too.

      I think it was scientifically concluded that 5-7 kids were the max before the parents neglected the kids. I can confirm this because in CK3, I wouldn’t even remember that I had 23 kids and most of them grow up to be insignificant or drunks or criminals

        I could see 5-7 being the limit. Most of the families around when I grew up were living on church food. My family did and it was me and 4 siblings with dual income from our parents. Even in the rural areas like ours where it was mostly pig and corn farms they were told to have more kids by the bishop.

        It never happened to my family but my Mom’s sister had 9 kids. Her 1st and 2nd turned around and had that many as well I think too. They all live out in the woods of Missouruh in houses they built themselves. Real frontier Mormons if you catch my drift. That part of the family was always squirrelly tho. Go back far enough and the family tree is more like a family bush.
