This is a typical NTNB, except that the year is now 2117 and the trends are slightly different. Below is an example of 2117 trends in baby names to help out with each family.

---

In general, parents are finally fed up with the unique-word-name trend. However, there are some word-names that have become so commonplace as to seem usual/typical/normal/okay. Names that were popular in the early 1900s became the standard set for the parents of this generation. The most popular names (the ones that came back early and strong) from the 1900's are currently the least trendy. However, the names that had a slower buildup or just didn't see as much use are still considered fair game. Names that were popular in the 1940's/1950's/1960's are the current favorites and one of the most popular trends. Other current trends include unique nicknames as first names, unusual occupational names, and a return to names from or about medieval times. Finally, the most obnoxious trend (to many name-lovers at least) is giving girls names that were popular boys names in the 1940's/1950's/1960's.

The Jones Family

DD/DS: "Vivi" Sylvia Ever Songlark Jones / "Fort" Forester Eagle Donald Jones [ghost / AnnaMarie]
DD: "Ginger" Virginia Ethel Piper Jones [AnnaMarie]

Trixie has turned into a meticulous young lady. She has carefully planned what classes she'll take in high school, what extra curricular activities she'll do and when, and even what college she wants to attend and what her major will be. That is why her falling in love with the star quarterback was such a surprise - it was no where in her carefully laid plans. However, the fact is that she is madly in love with him, and he is with her. She's trying to re-craft her plans, but this is something she never thought to account for.

---

Trixie's BF's FN is a Dutch nickname/diminutive/short-form of a name. His MN is a "regular guy" sort of short name. (reference, but NOT limited to, here: http://nameberry.com/blog/boys-names-regular-guy-names )

A lot has happened in the Davis family in the past year. Abbott got a girlfriend... and then he found out what it takes to become a dad. Abbott's GF's parents have kicked her out because she's refused to give up the baby. She's moved in with the Davis family. The relationship between Abbott and the GF is currently rocky, but they are both seeing what they can do to make it work.

---

Abbott's GF's FN is on one of the following lists: http://nameberry.com/blog/hipper-than-hipster OR http://nameberry.com/blog/cool-names-2011-how-to-be-so-uncool-you%E2%80%99re-cool (remember, guys names are also an option). I'll leave her MN up to you, but it should fit in with both the FN and the general trends of the time.

---

Abbott's and his GF's son's FN should somehow honor "Harris". His MN is from one of the following lists: http://nameberry.com/list/218/Yupster-Names-for-Boys OR http://nameberry.com/list/357/Perennially-Popular-Boys-Names.

---

Cord and Rosalina are also expecting a daughter at this time. They, once again, want to embrace the current trends, but Rosalina would (once again) really love a "princess-like" first name for their daughter (and refuses to even consider anything that were previously a popular boys names!). Their DD's FN should be a name that was popular-heard in the 1940's/1950's/1960's, but declined in use since then, and should have a very feminine feel. Her MN should should be related to medieval times OR be something related to elves/sprites/magic/etc.

The Lobo Family

DH: Otis Steven Lobo
exW: Heather-Hadley Merche Maradona-Lobo
DW: "Katie" Catherine Emily (née Noel) Lobo [Edith Therese]

DS/DD: Dick Alexander Maradona Lobo / Troy Angela Maradona Lobo [Aderyn Azula / JN316]
DS: Buzz Christopher Maradona Lobo [Aderyn Azula]
DD: Dale Audrey Maradona Lobo [NurseMom75]
DD: Gwen Marilyn Noel Lobo [Loki]
DD: Judy Evelyn Noel Lobo [AnnaMarie]
DS: _____ _____ Noel Lobo

---

Otis and Katie are having their last child. Katie wanted to name the child "Otis Steven Noel Lobo", but Otis wasn't so sure. Her second choice is to find a FN that either starts with "O" OR ends with "o".

---

If you chose the first choice, put "Otis Steven Noel Lobo" as the name. If you feel that Otis is right, provide a second choice name and Otis will once again choose the MN (popular in the 1930's/1940's/1950's - still timeless and classic and masculine). Oh, and Otis is taking special care that the MN does NOT start with "A", "C", "M", or "E". The most popular choice will be the one they chose!

Wow, yet another wife for Giovanni, and 3 more children! The good news, this is the last wife for Giovanni. Also, this will be Heather-Hadley's last child. Heather-Hadley is once again having a daughter. Giovanni has decided that Heather-Hadley can, once again, chose a feminine nickname/diminutive of Spanish origin for their DD's FN (so long as he approves of the name). Giovanni is choosing the MN, which will be a word-name that is either a food/spice or a bird.

---

Giovanni and Colette are having a son, and Giovanni is thrilled! Their DS's FN should be a nickname... maybe of Italian or French origin. His MN should be a tough/fierce name that dad thinks will bestow a "manly" feel. If the MN is English, it should be a word name. Otherwise, the MN should be either Italian or French.

---

Giovanni's third wife's FN is Romanian, and her MN is Russian. They are also expecting a son. Their DS's FN should also be a nickname... maybe of Italian or Romanian or Russian origin. His MN should also be a tough/fierce name that dad things will bestow a "manly" feel. If the MN is English, it should be a word name. Otherwise, the MN should be either Italian or Romanian or Russian.
