Hoo supermum Tania Sullivan can't decide what to name baby number 13

Supermum Tania Sullivan has hit a problem halfway through her 13th pregnancy – she is running out of names for her brood.

Tania, 37, of Aveling Close, Hoo, will soon have her own baker’s dozen and has now reached 19 weeks.

But she is struggling to pick a name, despite suggestions of favourite games characters from one of her sons.

Writing on her website, Larger Family Life, she said: “We are reaching the point now where finding names is becoming increasingly difficult to do.

“We seem to have used up all those we like, and can’t think of any which don’t remind us of horrid kids from our schooldays or media personalities we can’t abide.

“Oliver has suggested naming the baby Mario or Luigi if it’s a boy. It’s a step up, I guess, from his preferred name Zelda from the last pregnancy.”

Tania already has 10 children with husband Mike; Caitlin, Harry, Eddie, Sid, Paddy, Oliver, Joseph, twins Libby and Anna and Isobel.

She also has two older children from another relationship, Ben and Stephanie, who have since left home.

She will be having baby 13 at around 38 weeks via caesarean section.

Talking about her pregnancy, she added: “I am feeling well in myself – albeit a little tired at times – but well nonetheless.”

Earlier this year, the Sullivans took 10 children, who were aged 15 months to 13 at the time, on a trip to Italy and France by minibus.

The family spent two months on the road seeing 20 different cities before returning to Hoo.
