When Annabeth learned she was pregnant she was delighted! Percy quickly became a nervous wreck, but after talking to his mother and father, soon settled into excitement for their coming arrival. Annabeth, ever logical, had everything prepared and ready for the baby months before it was due, so in the last few months all that was left to do was argue over the name. They had settled on Alexander James for a boy or Elizabeth Rose for a girl, but in the final weeks of her pregnancy Annabeth had a difficult time and Percy was unable to be there for her at all times, so their good friend Grover filled in. When their son was born, after some consultation they decided to thank Grover by naming their son after him. Grover and his girlfriend Juniper often look after little Grove while Percy and Annabeth go out.
Little Grove is the apple of his parents' eye, with fine blonde curls like his mother and his father's eyes.

After telling Tasha that he was taking Kate to Ryan's party, Jarrod asked Kate to be his girlfriend. The night of the party, Jarrod and Kate spent the night together in their favorite spot in the woods. About two months later, Kate told Jarrod she was pregnant. Because both were too young to be married, they have decided against a shotgun wedding, and informed Jillian (Kate's grandmother) about the baby. As a group, they agreed that they would keep the baby and raise it together. The baby was born and Jarrod has been excellent in standing by Christine and Kate. They've chosen to nickname her "Isy" after the ancestor that helped Jarrod slay Rhauk and save Kate.

When she discovered she was pregnant about six months after their wedding, Ella at once ran to tell Char. Both were thrilled, and they discussed names off and on for months. They settled on names to use for a girl quickly enough--Eleanora, to continue the tradition in Ella's family, and Amanda, after Mandy. But they bickered a little over the amount of names. Char's family used three, Ella's two. Ella thought three too many, and as usual now that the curse is broken refused to give way. This continued through until the baby was born--a beautiful baby girl with Ella's dark hair and Char's mouth. Then the king and queen stepped in and talked to Ella, telling her that it was a tradition in their family to use three names. Since they had followed her tradition with the first name for a girl, she agreed to add a third name, but only if it could be after Areida. Char agreed at once and they added Arianne, the Kyrrian equivalent. Areida is one of the new princess's godparents, and Mandy of course is her fairy godmother. Lucinda did visit after the birth, but the only gift she gave was a teething ring that would grow as her hands and mouth did.

Ben and Diane had been working together for years and most of the time they didn't get along very well. The small villages where Ben feels right at home was Diane's worst nightmare. She just couldn't understand the people and because she was an outsider from the city they rarely trusted her. But slowly things started to change as Ben and Diane were assigned to work together more and more. She realised that Ben was a very caring and intelligent man (something she had had her doubts about) and found that she enjoyed talking to him. She felt at ease with him and after the bad experiences from her childhood and the indicdent that made her leave the city and start working for the Derbyshire police, she suprised herself with the fact that she trusted a man again, and that man was Ben. Ben on the otherhand, was used to Diane's cold personality and the way she seemingly made fun of him for no apparent reason. But after a while he noticed a change in her behaviour towards him, she became more open, less hostile and easier to talk to. He had always found her interesting but suddenly he realised that he was attracted to her and wanted to be more than just friends and collegues. They were both surprised when the realised that they had mutual feelings for each other and for a while they didn't know what to do. They didn't want to ruin what they had just found, a great friendship but in the end there was nothing they could to to stop their feelings and one night Ben simply told Diane that he loved her and wanted to be with her and that was exactly what she wanted too.

---

Diane had never felt an urge to have children, in fact she had never had any plans to have children, mainly because she just couldn't see herself with a husband and children. However, she soon found out that she was pregnant and overwhelmed with emotions she told Ben who turned out to be just as excited and happy as she had hoped. She too, was happy, she realised after a few months and could not wait to see her daughter. Because they were having a girl.

---

As soon as they were married, Teddy and Victoire moved out to their own little house, ready to start their life together. At first, Teddy was a bit reluctant to leave his grandmother Andromeda alone in their family home, but since Andromeda insisted to stay at her late husband's house and that "[Victoire] needn't be bothered further with an old burden like me", Teddy finally complied and stopped begging her to come with them. Months of tidying up, hectic visits, and keeping Victoire's mother away from the messier rooms ensued, until finally the Lupins were ready for their fresh start.

---

In only a few months from their marriage, Victoire found herself pregnant. She was incredibly excited about the prospect of having a child, and soon carried a notebook around to jot anything that comes into mind - what names the baby might have, what maternity clothes she will want, and so forth. Teddy was also all over the place - with anxiety! Unlike his wife, he was very nervous with becoming a father so soon, and was practically panicking when a family friend talked him down. Harry did not manage to calm Teddy by much, but when he dryly mentioned that Teddy's late father used to be just as jittery when his wife was expecting, it had a strangely soothing effect on Teddy. As time passed, and both Teddy and Victoire calmed from their respective frenzies, they began to discuss the naming of their child. By the time the wailing, kicking daughter was born, her parents had found her a name: Fleur Andromeda, after Victoire's mother and Teddy's grandmother and guardian. Both women were immensely pleased with being named after, especially Fleur.

---

Visits from friends and family followed, along with a shower of presents for little Fleurette (they have resorted to calling her in the diminutive to differentiate the granddaughter from the grandmother). All sorts of things arrived, from plush hippogriffs that flew around the bedroom to "harmless" fireworks that set Teddy's nerves on alarm on account of its noise. Young Fleurette seemed perfectly content with the visitors themselves, however, and would usually cling to their arms willingly.

Daisy and Nat love their little daughter. Rosie--as they've started calling Martha, after they realized her hair was a reddish shade--is a "daddy's girl." She's always been charmed by the sound of Nat's violin, which he plays for her every night as she goes to sleep. Both parents feel that she will become quite the young musician herself. Her fingers are already long and thin, perfect for an aspiring musician.

---

Nat is always rocking the little baby, playing his violin for her, crooning, playing with her hands. He dotes upon his first-born baby. It was his idea to call her Rosie when he noticed her hair had a reddish tint.

---

Daisy has made many little outfits for their darling daughter. She seems to be always busy crocheting or knitting something for Rosie if she's not caring for the baby or doing housework.

---

When they found out that Daisy was pregnant, the whole family was excited, overjoyed. The first grand-baby for Meg!

Tamar and her husband are quite happy to have had a little boy. They are living in Amsterdam, and though Tamar misses London, she's enjoying learning Dutch. She and Yoyo easily decided to name their son after Tamar's grandfather, Christiaan. His middle name honors Tamar's step-grandfather. Since Tamar's name also honors her grandparents, she feels glad to have her son carry the names of his deceased grandfathers.

Question;
For namebanks, do we need to include names already in it? Or can we just post the 5 new ones for each round?
