In the last five years the Grangers have welcomed three babies and are expecting one.
Nearly a year after their marriage, Beth and Blake had their first child, a gorgeous little girl. She is now three years old; her first name begins with a B and her middle name is an old-fashioned name that is starting to become more popular. Recently Beth has given birth to a boy and his name follows the same pattern as his sister's.
Two years ago Morgan and Caoimhe welcomed a brother for Enya, his first name is Irish and his middle name honours his maternal grandfather; Lorcan Alexander.
Xander and girlfriend Emily are expecting their first baby; they do not know the gender and so are preparing two names. For a girl they would like a nickname-y first name and a middle name that honours Xander's mum. For a boy Xander wants a short, strong masculine name but Emily has persuaded him to allow a softer middle name.

Last year Nathan - father to Ash, Laney, Noah and Jonah - died suddenly, sending the family into turmoil. The death of her dad has made Ash take a look at her own life and after much deliberation she has decided that she is not happy in her marriage and so has filed for divorce. They get joint custody of the four children.
Elsewhere in the family there is much excitement as Laney and Alf are expecting their second pair of twins five years after Daphne and Elena. This time they know both babies are boys and would like their first names to begin with A and G; like with their big sisters Mum and Dad want one boy to have a Scottish middle name and the other Arabic.
Meanwhile, Noah, Jonah and Harley have introduced the family to their other halfs. Noah's wife's first, middle and last names are Polish.
Jonah's girlfriend's first, middle and last names are upper-class English.
And Harley's boyfriend's name is a mixture of Irish, Scottish and Welsh.

Four babies have been welcomed into the Stryder-Dove households in the past five years, and there's still one more to come. Four years after having Fiona, Ben and Lewella welcomed their second child; a son whose first name is Scottish and English, and middle name is Irish.
Alice waited until Kiomi was settled into school before looking once again into adoption to bring home a second child, two years ago she was matched with a one year old boy who had an uncommon name, Alice gave him two middle names; one that is as unusual and has the same vibe as Kiomi, and the other that honours herself.
Marley married girlfriend Anastasia four years ago and straight after they began proceedings to adopt a baby boy; he already had a popular first name - but gave him an uncommon nickname derived from it - they also gave him two middle names, an unusually spelt name and Cole. Three years after adopting their son, Anastasia gave birth to a daughter conceived with help from a sperm donor; they named her with an elegant, long first name and unisex middle name. Currently the family is expecting another child which Marley is carrying, if it is a girl they plan on using the same guidelines that they used to name their daughter; if the baby is a boy they want a popular first name capable of giving an unusual nickname and a unisex middle name.
Evan and Bailey have also introduced their other halfs to the family, both women have English first names, common "filler" middle names and Scottish surnames.
