Bryony and Jasmine have decided to make their family complete by adopting some children. The oldest two are an older sister and younger brother who were adopted from a poor African nation. The last is a baby girl adopted from Russia.
The little girl is 4 years-old, but she's small for her age. Also, she's suffering some PTSD, and has reverted to acting like a 1 or 2 year-old. The younger brother is almost 2, and is quiet and clings to his sister. Both children lost their parents almost two years ago, and have been living on the fringes most of the time since. Both child's FN's should come from the Most Popular Names for Births in the Netherlands 2009 (
http://www.behindthename.com/top/lists/100nl2009.php ), but should also be names that are recognized in the USA. Their first MN should reflect their African heritage, while their second MN should reflect rebirth/hope/joy/love.
The little girl they adopted from Russia is actually the niece of Jasmine's BIL. However, neither Jasmine's sister or BIL are ready to take on children yet, and the BIL arranged for Bryony and Jasmine to become her adoptive parents. The little girl's FN and first MN are Russian (
http://www.behindthename.com/nmc/rus.php ). They are going to give her a second MN, which should reflect rebirth/hope/joy/love, as a coming-into-our-family sort of ceremony.
Conri and Delina are having a daughter! They want to give her a FN that has a vintage feel, but has spent little or no time on the popularity charts for the SSA. Her MN should be a virtue-type word or name.

Jose and Lola are having a daughter! They would like her FN to be common in French, English and Spanish (at least have a variation in all three languages). Jose insists that she needs a floral MN.
Thomas and Sophia are having another son. They would like a trendy FN with the second most popular spelling, as found on this site:
http://www.namenerds.com/uucn/top08xy.html . They would like a biblical MN.
Jacques and Sara are expecting another son! They want his FN to be found under BTNs "Arabic Masculine Names" (
http://www.behindthename.com/nmc/ara_m.php ), but be easy enough for the average American to pronounce. His MN will be from Sara's favorite show, Gilmore Girls, and can be found on the following page as a character from the show:

Christian and Melinda are expecting yet another son! They want a classic FN with a nickname that fits the following pattern, and a middle name that honors his Dutch/German heritage.
1*V??*y - Where 1* is the first consonant sound, V is a vowel, ?? is a double consonant, and *y is the last consonant sound. Examples: Scotty, Timmy, Billy
Lucas and Erica are having a son! They want a popular, trendy (but not trendee) FN. Erica wants his MN to reflect her maiden name (Winter) in some way.
Henry and Abigail are having a daughter. Henry insists that she needs a FN "worthy of a princess" (think girly/frilly). Abigail wants her MN to be after her mother.
Henry has gotten married! Much to everybody's amusement, her FN is the same as Abigail's MN (and Abigail's husband and Henry share the same FN). Her middle name is your choice.
Johanna is dating! The boy's FN and MN are Swedish.

It turns out that Sean and Nettie were right to not like Blaze. After Alice got pregnant, he split and won't talk with her at all! Alice is going to try and do her best, and is happy that Sean and Nettie will be their to support her. Alice is planing on giving her son a FN from the "Most Popular Names for Births in the United States 1940-1949" (
http://www.behindthename.com/top/lists/100ud1940.php ) that has a positive increase, but is on a downward trend right now. For his MN wants to honor her dad.
Both Jem and Scout are dating, siblings! Both SO's FNs are from the following page:
http://www.namenerds.com/uucn/birds.html (or any other bird name you can come up with). Both MN's are variations of "filler" names (ex. Annelise instead of Anne or Jonathan instead of John).

Wow - Lena has changed a lot in the past two years! She's gone through rehab and therapy, and gotten her life on track. She's even gotten a boyfriend who is like a knight in shining armor! His FN is short (the type with no obvious nicknames), and his MN is long.
All three of the triplets have gotten married, and now all three are having their first child!
Benji and Geneva are having a son! His FN is 4 letters long, his MN is 7 letters long.
Monty and Scarlett are having a daughter. Scarlett is insisting upon a "hippy" sort of name, and Monty wants to give her a name that was trendy in the 80's. Help them compromise.
Ace and Lexie are having a son! They want his FN to start with A, and Lexie wants his first MN to honor her father and his second MN to honor Ace's older brother (Alastair Mason Ellis)
