Help[Games] KB's Enormous Multi-Generational Congrats Round 1
What's going on: Instead of creating something new, I dug into the archives and found one that looked cool. All the rounds will be based on B's Multi-Round Multi-Generational CAF from 2010 (link to the original's last round): http://www.behindthename.com/bb/game/3786217) All credit goes to B for actually writing the darn thing.
This congrats will be KUY (keep up yourself) style, where you copy your family over from the last round each round, because otherwise my posts will get scary long. This also means that you can sign up whenever you want and catch up your missed rounds whenever you want!
Sign-ups: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/game/4683396
Round one instructions:
The year is now 1965.
If you signed up between the hours of noon and 5pm PST (the time zone behindthename.com uses), then you have 1 boy. Name has to start with 'L' or 'O' and age is up to you.
If you signed up between 5pm and 5am PST, then you have 1 girl. Name has to start with 'N' or 'P' and age is up to you.
If you are signing up now or the time you signed up isn't above, then you have 1 boy and 1 girl. They both have to have names that start with 'M', but their age is up to you.
Feel free to give backstory on the family!

Where they live: Boston
When Nora was born, there was quite a bit of disagreement about her name. Hamilton wanted to give her a classic moniker that would age well and wouldn't sound darned stupid, while Zella preferred something with a bit more history. She ended up carrying the names of Hamilton's great-aunt Eleonora and Zella's grandmother Filomena, a nod to both sides of the family.
Now, at age four, she has announced that she would have preferred to have been named Suzy Butterfly.

DD: Mélisande Aurora Ikävalko (born 04/05/1964, London UK. 1 year old)
Geneviève and Teemu have a four year old son and a daughter who has just turned one. They chose to name their son Matthias as it works in French and Finnish (albeit spellt Matias) and they liked the sound of Matthias Ikävalko. There was no particular reason for chosing Matthias over Matias, apart from that Geneviève felt it looked more complete. His middle name, Dmitri, honours his Russian Karelian heritage, and is a name that they both really liked but felt was too bold to use as a first name.
They wanted their daughter to have an M name too, and picked Mélisande because they felt it went well with Matthias. They nearly picked Aoife as a middle name, and they couldn't find any traditional Russian or Finnish names which worked with their choice of first name - then, one day, Geneviève came across Aurora in a baby name book, and it just seemed to fit, a name after Finland and Russia's northern lights and one that is apparently occasionally used in Finland as well.
