I'm going to try something a little different with this NTNB. Instead of doing one generation at a time, I am might do 2 or maybe even 3. This way, there are more names per/round, but I don't have to keep track of too many extra families. Please feel free to leave feedback on whether you feel this works or doesn't. :-)

Round 1: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/view.php?id=3806154&board=game

---

The Kearney Family

---

DH: Kelly Nioclás (39)
DW: Constance Naomi "Connie" [née Sloan] (38)

---

DD: Sloane Nelle (8) {JessicaJane}
DD: Clover Noelle(5) {itsjustme2407}
DS: (1)
AS: (1)
AD: (15)

---

5 years later, Kelly and Connie have an "opps" and Connie finds herself pregnant again. As the baby gets older, they realize how much of a difference there is between him and his older sisters. As he gets closer to his first birthday, they decide that he needs a sibling near his own age. Connie refuses to consider another pregnancy, and so they decide to adopt. They find a darling one-year old boy who is just a few months older then their son. However, this is a very sensitive, high risk adoption because they decide to also take the little boy's older sister. They've been told the particulars of the case, and know that the girl is not just the boys sister, but also his mother. However, she just wants to be his big sister, and for all concerned that is how they plan to keep it.

---

The DS has a FN from the "Boys Entering" or "Boys Biggest Gainers" list on the following page: http://www.namenerds.com/uucn/2008highlights.html . His MN starts with N.

---

The AS has a biblical, but not trendy, FN. He was never given a MN, and the Kearney's plan on giving him one that starts with N.

---

The AD has a Jewish FN that is unusual, but very pretty. She also does not have a MN, and the Kearney's plan on letting her pick out one that starts with N. She's going to chose something trendy/funky.

---

The St. Vincent Family

---

DH: Yves Xavier (41)
DW: Olive Cornelia [née Jeanes] (23)

---

DS: Théo Jeffrey (4) {JessicaJane}
DS/DD: Remy Blaise / Rose Isabel (3) {Wintertale}
DD: (nb)

---

Dgf: O____ S____ Rousseau (17)
DS: (nb)

---

Yves has moved his family to a small, isolated town in Utah. Olive's parents are furious, and have contacted CPS (child protective services) about their grandchildren. Unknown to them, their daughter has giving birth to another child. Also unknown to them, Yves has a "girlfriend" living with him and Olive. The girlfriend has also given birth to a child.

---

As usual, both children should have 4 letter names that are either French or have been on the "Most Popular Names for Births in France" lists. Olive has chosen to give her daughter a popular name for her MN. The girlfriend has chosen to give her son a virtue-type name for his MN.

---

The girlfriend's FN starts with O, and her MN starts with S.

---

The Farkas Family

---

DH: Szilveszter Barnabas "Sil" (31)
DW: Agnes Rose [née Wolff) "Agi" (29)

---

DS: Tristan Imre (11) {LittleMissNicki}
DD: Skylar Karolina (7) {Endia}
DS: (5)
DS: (3)
DD: (nb)

---

Sil and Agi have heard a lot from their family on the first names of their children. Their family thinks them too strange and can not understand why they've chosen such unusual names. However, Sil and Agi like that their kids have names that will, in their opinions, fit in better at school then theirs ever did.

---

For DS (5), they've once again decided on a FN that is very trendy... The type with multiple spellings, but they've chose to use the traditional spelling of the name. His MN honors his maternal grandfather (Ludwig Dieter Wolff).

---

For DS (3), they've once again decided on a FN that is very trendy... The type with multiple spellings, but they've chose to use the traditional spelling of the name. His MN honors his paternal grandfather (Zsigmond Gazsi Farkas).

---

Their NB DD's FN is very trendy, but also a unisex name. Her MN somehow honors her Hungarian/German heritage, but is also very feminine.

---

The Darcy Family

---

DH: Fitzwilliam John (37)
DW: Elizabeth Sarah [née Bennet] (29)

---

DS: Bennet Charles (7) {Wintertale/AnnaMarie}
DD: (3)
DD: (nb)

---

Elizabeth and Darcy (Fitzwilliam) are continuing to have their happily ever after with very few bumps in the road. Darcy felt that one or two children ought to be enough. However, Elizabeth loves her big, noisy family and felt that she needed at least 3 children to have that same happiness in her family. To this end, they've settled upon having 3 children.

---

DD (3) will be named after Elizabeth's favorite sister, Jane Alice [née Bennet] Bingley. Her MN should be feminine, classic, uncommon and floral.

---

DD (nb) will have a classic, floral FN with a MN to honor her father's sister, Georgiana Catherine Darcy.

---

The Wickham Family

---

DH: George Thomas (37)
DW: Lydia Anne [née Bennet] (28)

---

DD: Paisley Edith (11) {Endia}
DD: Veola Henrietta (9) {Ekho}
DS: (5)
DS: (nb)

---

Wickham (George) has finally shown some sense and has tried to limit the size of his growing family to that which he can afford (and still have some left over for his play). Lydia, however, remains as insensible and careless as ever. As a result, they've had two accidental pregnancies (although the first was engineered by Lydia who really wanted another child because her best friend was also pregnant).

---

Wickham has shown almost as little interest in the names of his son's as he did his daughters. On both sons, she chose FNs from the following list: http://wesclark.com/ubn/males.html (see http://wesclark.com/ubn/ for more interesting names). The MN of DS (5) should honor his father in some way. The MN of DS (nb) should honor her father in some way (Claude Yancy Bennet)
