Jane's 129-year Generational Congrats, Round 2
The year is 1885, and your couple now have even more children!Rules:
-3 missed consecutive rounds without notification and you're out.
-No nicknames without a full name- what I mean by that is if you want a nickname, "Fred" for example, make sure it's short for something like Frederick or Alfred. No Freds when Fred isn't short for anything.
-You may use as many middle names as you want. They do not have to be popular.
-New arrivals should be either bolded of put in between plus signs; +Mary Elizabeth+.
-As well as the name, age and year of birth should be listed; (age) [year of birth].
-NO LAST NAMES! That would make it too confusing.
-You may name after the parents if the name in question is no longer popular.
-You may kill off family members...just don't kill off both parents until the children are grown, or the eldest children are able to care for the younger ones...surviving spouses may remarry.
-You are allowed to write a little description, although because I didn't expect such a large turnout, I won't post them in later rounds...however I will put them into my computer records to keep up with the families.Namebank: http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/decades/names1880s.htmlPlease don't stray from the namebank. Last round somebody used Connor and Kimberly...I'm letting that slide the one time as family names.Round 1: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/view.php?id=3683016&board=game .UN: Anthroponomastics

Rob and Hazel have enjoyed raising their children. Rob and Hazel own a large plot of land in Ohio, and they are busy farming it. Rob does most of the fieldwork, or hires neighbors to come and help him out. Hazel takes care of the house and the children. Rachel and Anna already enjoy helping out their mother, especially by weeding the garden or gathering eggs from the henhouse. Sarah and Bobby are always wandering about, causing mischief, however, Rachel and Anna look out for them most of the time.

He was overjoyed when Lily became pregnant again. But both parents were shocked to give birth to twins. Since they already had three girls, they named Zora a bit less conventionally than they did Isaac, who was named for his grandfather.

When the twins were two, Emma and Will welcomed a little girl. They disagreed for weeks before her birth over what to name her (they argued over boy's names too, but that's a moot point). Will wanted to name her Jimmie, and Emma wanted to call her Fredericka. The day she was born, they still couldn't decide, so they called Exie and Ashley and asked them what they thought their little sister should be named. Ashley said "Edward!", which was the name of his imaginary friend. Exie, who had still not quite mastered the English language, murmured something that sounded like "Setta". Emma and Will weren't quite sure what she meant, but they decided on Zetta, and used the other names they liked as middle names.This year, Emma gave birth to a son. Again, they couldn't choose a name for him, but each of them had their ideas. And then they remembered Zetta's birth-- Ashley had suggested Edward, despite that they'd been trying to name a girl. Since Exie had named Zetta, they thought it was only fair they use Ashley's choice on his new brother. He was named Edward Moody Noah. Emma wasn't sure where Will had come up with the name Moody, but he did seem so excited about using it. In news unrelated to births, Exie and Ashley are now being taught to read and do simple math at home. They will be going to the school in town next year.Will and Emma

+DS: Peter Joseph (3) [1882]+
+DS: Arthur Daniel (deceased, death by a curse/witchcraft) [1883]+
+DD: Margaret Danielle (nb) [1885]+Life has been quite busy for the young couple. For starters they had been barely married for a year when they welcomed twins Andrew and Cora. About a year later their families urged them to have another, and they did. But a year after the birth of Peter the family suffered a great tragedy. Not long after Peter's birth they had decided to have another. 9 months later a boy was born. But the joy was short lived as baby Artie died when he was just three days old, likely due to witch craft (he actually died of a hole in his heart but they don't know that ;)). Fearing another loss the couple decided to have no more children. Because of Artie's death and the accuasation that they were witches the young family fled their home in Salem (I know it's the wrong time period but still!) in the middle of the night. A few days later they arrived in a town called Newport. The townspeople knew nothing about them and happily helped them settle in. About two years later the couple welcomed another child, a beautiful little daughter whom they called Maggie. Maggie was a suprise as they had no idea that Lydia was even pregnant. Fearing that someone would accuse them of kidnap they decided to hide her in a drawer, just for now of course. Eventually they'd need a new plan.....I used this link as the other one didn't work:
