A pregnant lady named her children: Dominique, Regis, Michelle, Fawn, Sophie and Lara. What will she name her next child? Jessica, Katie, Abby or Tilly?

Illustration for riddle: A pregnant lady named her children: Dominique, Regis, Michelle, Fawn, Sophie and Lara. What will she

Tilly. She seems to follow the scale Do, Re, Me, Fa, So, La, and then Ti.

Why this works

This riddle cleverly plays on the musical scale of notes, which are Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, and Ti. The names of the children—Dominique, Regis, Michelle, Fawn, Sophie, and Lara—each begin with a letter that corresponds to the first letter of each note in the scale: D, R, M, F, S, L. Therefore, to continue the pattern, the next name should start with 'T,' leading us to Tilly as the answer. It’s a fun way to connect music theory with naming conventions!

Common Wrong Answers

“Jessica”

Jessica does not fit the pattern of musical notes (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La) that the names are following.

“Katie”

Katie does not correspond to any musical note in the scale, hence it does not follow the naming pattern established by the previous children.

“Abby”

Abby also does not relate to the musical scale, making it an incorrect choice based on the established naming convention.
