Stanley and Eleanor can’t believe how quickly their kids are growing up. With all three of their kids in school, they decided they might like to try for one more. It was only a month or two later that Eleanor told Stanley that she was pregnant.They’d like their son’s first name to be an uncommon Shakespearean name and his middle name to be the surname of a scientist, inventor, and/or mathematician.

---

Arthur and Hutch have loved being parents to little Ansel. A year ago, they decided to look into adopting again. They’ve recently brought home a one-year-old little girl from Vietnam. They’d like her first name to honor an artist, somehow. Arthur would really like her first middle name to honor a baseball player, somehow, but Hutch keeps insisting that there aren’t any “girly” names to choose from; their daughter’s second middle name is Vietnamese.

---

Theodore and Verity are expecting a baby brother for little Meg! They’d like his first name to come from literature and his middle name to honor Verity’s dad, Gerald Redmond O’Toole.

---

Despite his siblings’ urgings to take things slowly, Walter and Wilhelmina were married within the year, and are now expecting a little girl. They’d like her first name to begin with W and her middle name to be the name of an Old Hollywood actress.

---

Holly and Ivy are each expecting a baby with their respective husbands. Both couples have decided not to find out the sexes of their children, so they will each need combos for a boy and a girl.

---

Holly and Remus would like their child’s first name to be 5 letters long and it’s middle name to be summer-related.

---

If Ivy and Romulus have a son, they’d like his first name to be short; if they have a daughter, they’d like her first name to be long. They’d like their child’s middle name to be winter-related, no matter it’s gender.

---

Gilbert and Penny have adopted a kitten. They’ve given her a Christmas-related name.

DS [25] Jovinian Lee ‘Jojo’ Pedretti {findthesea}

---

Gertie and Flash were happy with the size of their family after Brighton was born; they certainly weren’t expecting to be expecting only a couple years later… They’d like their son’s initials to be ‘C.X.’, but Gertie loves vintage, classic names and Flash likes modern, popular names...

Emileigh and Darian are expecting twin boys! Darian’s daughters are super-excited to be becoming big sisters, and Emileigh and Darian can’t wait to meet their boys. They’d like their sons’ first names to be from this list: http://nameberry.com/list/333/Offbeat-Baby-Names?all=1, but their middle names to be after Emileigh’s moms, Claire and Edie.

---

Morgan and Hugo are expecting a daughter. After realizing that they wanted to keep naming their children after their respective grandparents, but agreeing that eight children was more than they could handle, they’d like to name their daughter after, at least, two of their remaining grandparents: Marguerite Hélène ‘Margot’ Durante, James Oliver Sutherland, Paulina Anne Sutherland, Adelajda Sara Malinowski, Wawrzyniec Bartosz Lis, or Judyta Klementyna Lis.

---

Courage and Wildflower are expecting, but they’ve decided not to find out the sex. Instead, they’d like ONE unisex combo. They like “hippy” names and unusual word names (like their own).

---

Dominic and Fleet decided to get a puppy. They gave him a name which suits his personality (you decide).

---

David has recently introduced his girlfriend to his family. Her first name is a gem or precious metal, her middle name is a feminization of a masculine name, and her surname is one syllable.
