Thanks for everyone who played last round (it was difficult picking just one name for each birth! ) and all the nice comments about the theme! :) I'm glad you like the idea, hopefully I'll be able to do it justice :) I did mean to respond to comments and get a second round up sooner than this, but I've been busier than anticipated the last few days... oops.

---

If you didn't play last round, you can still play this round if you want!

---

Errrmmm... I think that's everything! Once again, if you have an questions, don't hesitate to ask, and I look forward to seeing what awesome names you guys come up with :)

The Østergård-Sigurdsen family
DGf: Kaneq Sigurdsen [29] [Tariaksuq]
DBf: Mathias Johan Østergård [32] [Werewolf]

---

DD/DD: Iseq Frida Østergård-Sigurdsen / Qila Freja Østergård-Sigurdsen [3] [Tariaksuq/Werewolf] {2angelgoats}
DS/DD/DS: [exp] [Tariaksuq/Werewolf]

---

Dog: Ingolf [Amorak] {Julia}

---

Three years have passed since Kaneq and Mathias welcomed the twins, Iseq and Qila. They were lucky, in that the birth wasn’t especially difficult, and Mathias was happy to see that his daughters weren’t born furry or with fangs. For now they’re taking more after their mother and haven’t shown any wolflike tendencies yet, but he has been warned that things might change when they hit adolescence.
They do, however, get along exceptionally well with the family’s ‘pet’ amarok hound. Ingolf is still young, about half the size he’ll grow to be over many years, but he’s already much bigger than your average wild wolf. He’s proven to be a perfect family pet, allowing the twins to ride on his back and keeping Mathias company during the full moon.

---

Now Kaneq’s fallen pregnant once more. This time with triplets! They can’t help but wonder if Mathias’ werewolf genes are part of the reason for so many multiples. Kaneq is already referring to the unborn babies as her litter of pups.

---

They’re expecting two boys and a girl. They boys should have short, one-or-two-syllable Danish or Norse names which aren’t on this list: http://www.behindthename.com/top/lists/denmark/2013. Their middle names should be longer, Greenlandic Inuit, and have an interesting meaning. Mathias has agreed that the middle names can be quite complicated, as they won’t be used much in daily life.
The girl should have a less complicated, easier to say/spell Greenlandic name which goes well with that of her older sisters – or, she should have a slightly more complex (but still not difficult) Greenlandic name with an easy, user-friendly nickname. Her middle name should be very Danish/Scandinavian but not on this list either: http://www.behindthename.com/top/lists/denmark/2013.
Once more, Greenlandic names can be found here: http://www.nordicnames.de/wiki/Greenlandic_Names

The Morgan family
DW: Mélissaire Vivienne Morgan (nee Tolbert) [34] [Witch]
DH: Zebulon Benedict Morgan “Zeb” [34] [Witch]

---

DD: Zéolie Carmelite Morgan [10] [Witch]
DD: Athénaïse Lavender Morgan [3] [Witch] {glassmidnight}
DS: [exp] [Witch]

---

Cat:

---

In Louisiana, the witchy Morgan family are also welcoming a new arrival. Not much has changed since the birth of their daughter three years ago. Mélissaire’s daughter, Zéolie, has shown signs of magical promise and seems to be taking after her mother in many ways. As for little Athénaïse, it’s really too soon to say. Of course, she’ll be a witch like her parents, but whether she’ll take after her mother or her father more is still unknown.

---

Now they’re expecting the fifth member of their little family – a boy. Mélissaire wants him to have a Creole name like his sisters, but Zeb can’t agree on one he likes. They’ve decided to compromise and give him a rare, unusual French name as his first name. Zeb would quite like him to have a snazzy nickname too, but it’s not vital. His middle name should start with the letter Z and be fairly uncommon.

---

They have also adopted a pet cat after their daughters decided they really wanted one. Her shelter name was Betsy but none of the family think that’s suitable for the feline familiar of a family of witches. They’ve decided to rename her, and would like her name to honour a famous fictional, historic or mythological witch.

The Tsekhanovetsky family
DH: Dmitriy L’vovich Tsekhanovetsky “Dima” [36] [Necromancer]
DW: Orphne Tsekhanovetskaya [35] [Lampad]

---

DS: Leonid Phrixus Dmitriyevich Tsekhanovetsky "Leo" [3] [Lampad/Necromancer] {Polyxena}
DD: [nb][Lampad/Necromancer]

---

Last but not least, in London, Dima the necromancer and Orphne the lampad nymph have had a hard time adapting to parenthood. Orphne isn’t used to the living, and little Leo is so full of life and energy his mother doesn’t know what to do with him. Dima has taken to parenthood more naturally, but it’s still been a bit of a learning curve, However, they both love their son and hope to be the best parents they can. The cost of having a child in London means that Dima has had to take a job amongst the living, as a trainee undertaker. It doesn’t bother him, of course, but he does wonder what humans know about death.

---

Orphne’s second pregnancy was a bit of a shock. They hadn’t planned on having another child, at least not this soon. That said, she’s delighted to hear she’s going to have a daughter, and hopes that one day she will follow in her footsteps and become a graveyard guardian.

---

Their daughter should have a Russian name of Greek origin, much like her brother. Her middle name should have something to do with the Greek underworld. Her second middle name should be the patronymic Dmitriyevna, and her surname Tsekhanovetskaya.
