With
Ellie and
Gavin in school,
Lily and
Cassie decided to expand their family. Complications from
Gavin's birth meant that unfortunately
Lily was unable to get pregnant again, so this time only
Cassie is having a baby (a little boy). He should have an English first name that sounds good with
Ellie and
Gavin and two hyphenated Chinese middle names.
Sophia and
Callum have two sons. Their first names have a British feel but are not nicknames (if you need ideas you can look here:
http://nameberry.com/list/196/British-Boy-Names?all=1). Their middle names are Chinese (just one Chinese name).
Claire and
Léo are expecting a daughter. Her first name is French. She has two middle names, one French and one Chinese (just one Chinese name). You choose her last name.
