DS [exp] ____ ____ Clements

Sam and Anna are expecting another son to add to their brood. They like old-fashioned, “fuddy-duddy”-type boy names, and -- as a nod to their mutual love of literature -- they would like their son’s middle name to be the surname of a writer (i.e., an author, a poet, a playwright, etc.).

THE FORRESTER FAMILY
DH [35] Gilbert Vincent Forrester

D? [exp] ____ ____ Forrester

Gilbert and Penny are ecstatic to be expecting their first child! As they had some trouble conceiving, they’ve decided not to find out the sex of the baby, and instead will need options for both a boy and a girl. Since the baby is due around Christmas (and that’s Gilbert and Penny’s favorite holiday, anyway), they’ve decided they would like their child to have a Christmas-themed name.

DD [1] Gardenia Marie ‘Gertie’ Pedretti
DD [exp] ____ ____ ‘____’ Pedretti

Dom and Olivia are expecting their second daughter, and their little Gertie can’t wait to be a big sister! Dom and Olivia would like their daughter’s first name to be an unusual flower name that can be shortened into a “cute” nickname, and they’d like her middle name to be a common, “filler” middle name.

When Claire Durante and Edie Sutherland met through a friend, it was practically love at first sight. Before they knew it, four years had gone by; they’d moved in together, adopted and raised-into-cathood two kittens, and had gotten married! Now, they’re expecting their first child through IVF (Edie’s carrying), and both couldn’t be more thrilled. However, they both seem to have very different name tastes, so they’ve come to a compromise: they’d like ONE, unisex combo that could “work” on either a boy or a girl.
