OK - I got to thinking last night that it would be fun to do a NTNB where everybody got to create their own version of the families. And so, I decided to do a Keep-Up-Yourself version of a Name-The-New-Born.

---

I'll be providing families just like a normal NTNB. However, you will be keeping all of the families you name. You can chose to add ages, descriptions, or even stories if you'd like. You can also chose to add more MNs to any family, but I will only be providing details for the FN/MN. I will provide links to all of the previous rounds so that you can quickly find your family or do missed rounds. Have fun :-D

The Woodward Family

---

DH: Dominic "Dom" Thelonius
DW: Aderyn Rosamund (née Byrd)

---

DS:

---

D's Dog:
A's Dog:

---

Dom met Aderyn at the park one day. He was walking his dog, she was walking her dog. The two dogs tangled the two of them together, and they both ended up falling in a laughing heap. The dogs were so obviously having fun together that the two decided to meet regularly to walk the dogs together. Soon, the two were moving in together and then married.

---

They are now expecting their first child, a son! Dom would like his FN to be a very masculine name, and Aderyn would like something slightly uncommon, but not unheard of. They would both like a surname for a MN (again, uncommon and not trendy/popular).

---

Dom's dog's name is an adjective ("an adjective is a word whose main syntactic role is to modify a noun or pronoun, giving more information about the noun or pronoun's referent").

---

Aderyn's dog's name is from mythology.

The Seymour Family

DH: Amaury Mael
DW: Audrey Jacquelyn (née Shells)

---

DD:

---

Amaury met Audrey at the corner flower shop. The two kept bumping into each other, until Audrey finally asked the exotic Amaury out to coffee. Coffee soon turned to dinner, and then all night chats. The next thing anybody knew, the two were married.

---

They are now expecting their first child, a daughter! They would like her FN to start with a vowel (but not "A"), and her MN to be French to honor Amaury's heritage.

The Nichols Family

---

DH: Kevin Alastar
DW: Nora Eileen (née Adams)

---

DD:

---

Kevin and Nora went to the same schools and grew up in the same neighborhood. In eighth grade, Kevin asked Nora out. The two spent most of the next 5 years in a steady relationship (with only a few minor break ups). After Nora graduated, Kevin asked her to marry. The two are now living on an army base, and are expecting their first child, a daughter!

---

Kevin and Nora would like a FN that has a Celtic background, but is trendy/popular (think of the type of name with multiple spellings, many of which aren't uniqueek). Her MN should honor Kevin's mother, who has terminal cancer (Deirdre Mairead).

The Stone Family

---

DH: Sam Michael
DW: Emmy Rose (née Mason)

---

DS/DD:

---

Sam and Emmy met at one of those small community festivals. They hit it off, but left without getting each other's contact information. Luckily, they met just a few days later at a local wine tour. This time, they made sure to exchange phone numbers. Everything built from there, and the two were married a few years later.

---

They are now expecting their first children, boy/girl twins! They want each child's FN to be unique from the other twin's FN (not rhyming, starting with the same letter, ending with the same sound, having an obvious same meaning, etc.), and to be a longer form of a name with a shorter nickname. They would like their MN's to share some subtle link (both be a color, have a related meaning, be anagrams of each other, etc.).

The Flores Family

---

DH: Cesar Israel
DW: Penelope Magdalena (née Brown)

---

DS:

---

Cesar and Penelope first met at their local church as children. The two didn't really pay any attention to each other at that time however. They met again while Cesar was traveling on business and Penelope was taking a tour of Spain. The two found they had a lot in common, including a love of seeing new places. Soon, the two were married and Cesar found himself working a lucrative job for Penelope's father. With a lot of money, and a very flexible work schedule, the two managed to find a lot of time to travel.

---

The two are now expecting their first child, a son! They would like his FN to have a biblical tie-in or be biblical (example, Elliott is derived from a diminutive of the medieval name ELIAS - biblical). His MN should honor the place where he was conceived (you chose).
