I'm sorry for taking so long! Real live has been pretty hectic, but things have settled down a bit now, so I should be able to update this more regularly in the future.
Here's last round's conclusions (here:
http://www.behindthename.com/bb/game/4608011 ), with scores and a little story for you. If you just want to know the scores, they were: AudreyEllen, 5 points; Julia, 5 points; Polyxenia, 4 points; SugarPlumFairy, 4 points; AhaRememo, 3 points; falsean, 2 points; 2angelgoats, 2 points.
But don't feel that you have to have played in the last round to join this one, it's open to all!
A winning name gets 4 points. A name that I particularly liked, but didn't win, gets 2 points. Participation gets 1 point per name with a max of 2 participation points per post.
Again, I'm pretty new to this, so let me know if I mess anything up so I can fix it!

Baby Miriam is two now, an intelligent little girl with curly black hair, bright brown eyes, and a penchant for getting into anything and everything. She attends Little Frog Preschool with her best friends, Stacey Rosas and Noemi Garza. Her mother, Gabrielle Aubra (Scott) Espino, is a museum educator at the Gomez Historical Museum, and her father, Martin Eliud Espino, is a middle school science teacher at Pinkerton Middle School. They live in a cozy rented home on the outskirts of town with their cats, Banksy and Chamomile, and their poodle, Carrot (so named by Mimi).
After months of trying for a baby sibling for Mimi, Gabby's finally pregnant again! After what happened last time, they've decided to leave the baby's sex a surprise. Will you help them come up with a name for their new baby?
Conditions:
1. As with last time, the first name should be easy to spell and pronounce for speakers of both English AND Spanish. A cute nickname would be nice, but is not required.
2. Both parents really appreciate names that sound medieval/fantastical, but are worried that such a name would be
too strange. Both parents also like Biblical names.
3. Gabrielle had a dream about rain the night she found out that she was pregnant. She would like a name that has something to do with rain.
4. Both parents want the first boy's middle name to be Edward, after Gabrielle's father, and the first girl's middle name to be a location.
Your suggestions don't need to fit all of these conditions, but the more, the better!
