I posted mine on the 21st at 5:30pm...Did I do mine wrong or did you just not notice my post before posting this? I'm guessing you just didn't notice since you posted this 25 minutes after I posted. :)Also the vacation questions and such are they addressed to us personally or our characters?Would eco-friendly be what? Like camping? Unfortunately anything that leaves a carbon footprint would not be eco-friendly. I would think the most eco-friendly vacation would be a stay-cation.

You're right. I didn't see your post. But I'll update round 3 now. The vacation question was addressed to you. And yes, I was thinking about camping or something like this: http://www.travelchannel.com/Travel_Ideas/Outdoors_and_Eco-Friendly/ci.Eco-Friendly_Lodging.alternative?vgnextfmt=alternative (of course there's still the matter of getting there...)

Dang this makes it hard... I love camping and go camping a lot. I've never gone on a "cultural" vacation but I have always really wanted to. Which do you think I should go with? The type of vacation I usually go on, or the vacation I've always wanted to go on?

Hmm...I'd say go with the one you always wanted. But that's just me.

They were overjoyed to welcome their new additions, and even saved the funky names for their middle names so the boys would not hate them when they grew up. Though they look a lot alike, their personalities are already very different. Ian is quiet and suspicious while Owen is shy an sweet. They both adore their big brother.

Just so you know, the first name and middle name don't both have to have a common sound. If you're choosing to go with names starting with R, for example, one child's FN can start with R and another child's MN can start with R. Hope that makes things easier.
vote up1
Thanks! At first I got the information kind of messed up, so I thought a child's name had to start AND to end on the same sound. That both kids have the same initials was a coincidence, though - I'll go with the letter "R" to start first or middle name if that's ok.

Theme: MNs all end with the same letterThere wasn't any boys names between 51-100 ending in A (my MN theme) so I'm changing Sophia's MN :)Soon after Sophia's birth Nikolai started asking Molly when they would have another child. He loved to be a daddy and wanted another one soon! Molly wanted ti wait for a while but when Sophia turned one theyr started trying. It took a couple of months but Molly got pregnant! It turned out to be a boy and he was born one month after Sophia's second birthday. They decided to name him Milo Jackson.

No problem. A ton of girl names end in A but not so many boy names do. Hope N works better for you. I'll try to make sure you always have some.

Note on ThemeI realize I probably did not word my directions well. What I intended was that there would be one sound that would be present at either the beginning or end of all of the name sets. All of the children would have one name that starts with M, for example, or they would all have one name that ends with A.You seem to be finding a different sound for each child and using it in both names. Since you already have two kids named I'm perfectly happy for you to continue this way if you do not find it too constraining. Or, if you like, we can adjust your names to a another pattern.

Does this work?

This is perfect. It doesn't even always have to be all first names, as long as one child always has a name that ends with that EE sound. Glad we got this taken care of.

All of the children would have one name that starts with M, for example, or they would all have one name that ends with A.I am having a bit of trouble seeing which sound you have chosen to be present in every name combo. I ask now, because I want to make sure I have enough names in each name banks that meet your needs. If you could just reply and let me know that would be great. Thanks!

I misunderstood the directions. I thought that you meant that the name had to begin and end with the same letter/sound. I will go back and correct it. Now that I understand, It sounds much more simple.
