Alex and Ryan can’t believe how fast their children have grown up. Francis, their youngest, is now in second grade at their local elementary school, where he enjoys drama and acting. He doesn’t love anything more, though, than spending time with his family, especially his twin brothers, who like to compose songs and play them for him and the rest. Rory, Islay, and Rain have all left the house, Islay and Rain to college and Rory to the apartment she shares with her boyfriend of six years. Rory and her boyfriend recently welcomed a daughter, who already has the whole family wrapped around her little finger. Rory’s boyfriend comes from a very traditional family. Both his first and middle names are classic and he has a short surname. He goes by a nickname unrelated to his given name. The young couple has a quirky taste and it is displayed in their daughter’s name. Although she has a traditionally feminine first name she is called by a cute boyish nickname. Her middle name is not usually used as a name.

Round 6: Jackson and Stacey decided that five children was quite enough for them, and they have enjoyed watching their children grow up and start to live independent lives. Alex is still dating her high school sweetheart (though it seems like they may get engaged soon) and she recently announced to the family that she was pregnant with a little girl! Alex’s boyfriend has a one syllable, very masculine name. His middle name was extremely popular in the 1950s and his surname is common. They plan to give their daughter a celestial first name and a middle name that is more classic. Her last name will be her father’s.
Round 7: Alex and her husband got married a year ago, much to their families’ delights, and are now expecting their second and third children, identical twin boys. Alex’s husband gave her free reign in naming them as he really didn’t know much about names, and Alex chose to give both boys unusual names from astronomy. Their middle names are longer and more common.

They have been pressuring the two to make a commitment and constantly asking where and when the wedding will be. Sebastian’s boyfriend is Chinese-American. His first name is old fashioned English, his middle and last names are Chinese.

Location: San Francisco, CA
Beckett always loved growing up with his three rambunctious siblings in a happy and loving home. When he and Ana were discussing how many children they wanted, though, he learned that Ana, who had many half-siblings, always felt her mother didn’t have enough time for her and never wanted to have a large family like the one she grew up in. It took the two a while to decide on the right balance, but eventually they decided that two kids would be enough for them. They figure that their children will have enough aunts, uncles, cousins, and, of course, grandparents, to merit a crowded yet joyous family. Their other major decision was whether they wanted another biological child or they wanted to adopt. Since Beckett was adopted, he always figured he would adopt too and share the experience with a child. Ana was fully supportive of this, and they were able to bring their one year old son home from China a couple days ago. They decided to give him a surname which they found in the Harry Potter series as his first name and chose one Swedish and one Spanish middle name.

Lincoln and Brock have been wanting children for a while now and they signed up to adopt a child but, knowing how long that process can take, they started looking into a surrogate. When Lincoln mentioned this idea to Ava in passing, she began to think about it, and decided to volunteer to be their surrogate. Lincoln and Brock weren’t sure at first, but they did like the idea that the kid could be biologically related to both of them and they decided to take Ava up on the offer. They have gotten closer to Ava and Luke as the process progressed and now that their son is born the whole family is rejoicing. They decided to give the boy a short first name that ends in O. His middle name honors Ava in some way. His surname is your choice.

Gloria and Paxton took some time to settle down before they even thought about having another child, but they’re now well into their careers and they’re in a good place financially, so they decided to go ahead and give Spenser a little sibling. They are extremely excited to be welcoming a little girl in a few weeks time and have all the preparations set to go. They want her first name to be after a time (season, day, etc) and they want it to be alliterative with her middle name.

Round 1: It’s a girl! Eden and Dino are proud parents to a delightful daughter! After some deliberation, they gave her a short and sweet first name and an Italian middle.
Round 2: Dino was especially excited to find out that Eden was carrying a son. Now Eden’s just about ready to pop, and all of them are eagerly anticipating the new troublemaker. They have decided on a mythological first name and a middle name that means strong.
Round 3: Eden and Dino always wanted to adopt and, after registering to be on the waitlist for a child a couple years ago, they were finally notified of a newborn boy ready and waiting for them a couple days ago. They’re extremely excited, and are positive that the little guy will settle right in with their other children. They chose a name honoring a famous actor for the first name spot and chose a simple Italian name to put in the middle.
Round 4: Eden and Dino are busy preparing for their last child. They’ll miss always having a new little one to teach and coddle, but are excited to begin a new phase of their lives. For this child, they have chosen a medieval sounding first name and a popular middle.

Their eldest daughter is already married, after a whirlwind romance, and the other kids seem to be on track to start moving along with their families too. The eldest daughter’s husband has a classic first name and a surname middle name. His last name is derived from a location.
Round 6: Eden and Dino’s first son is now married. The two are madly in love and one can only hope that the feeling will last. The wife is from Poland, which is reflected in all her names.
Round 7: Eden and Dino’s first daughter and her husband are parents! Eden and Dino can’ help thinking that time really flies. The newborn’s parents have given her a short and sweet first name and an elaborate middle.

Round 6: Phoenix and Arna recently found out that they’re pregnant and they’re busy preparing for the little boy. Octavia has been a joy and she brings a smile to every person she meets. Her parents can’t wait till they have another little one they can extend their hearts to. Like Octavia, they want a name that honors both parents’ heritages and, while they don’t want a popular name, they don’t the name to be so unusual in Britain that he’d be teased. They would also like their son to have namesakes he will consider cool as he grows older.

James and Maxie have been wondering when their family will expand with another child’s significant other, and Fairy has answered their question by bringing home her boyfriend! Her boyfriend is very handsome and has a great sense of humor and James and Maxie think he’s the perfect addition. His first name is his mom’s maiden name, his middle name honors his great-grandfather. The name went out of fashion and has not had a revival. His surname is derived from a nickname.
Round 7: Phoenix and Arna welcomed their third and last child, a little boy, a couple of sleepless nights ago, and they love the feeling that their family is complete. They gave their son a recognizable but not popular first name that has a famous namesake. His middle name is Icelandic.

James and Ana decided they were done with kids after Isobel’s birth, but they hadn’t gotten around to finalizing before Ana started to feel sick and they realized pregnancy was the culprit. They were so sure that the baby was a girl, after six daughters already, that they didn’t ask what the gender was and only thought up girls names. When the baby born and the nurse told them “You have a son” the couple was in total shock. They ended up deciding on a six letter name that doesn’t share initials with any of his sisters. His middle name begins with G.

After a while it became apparent that things just weren’t working out between Thomas and Aria and they broke things off. Thomas has full custody of the kids and he has decided to start anew with them. He moved in to a house near to his parents and siblings and is taking college courses at night so he can step up in his career. Jack is definitely on a different path. He’s a year into college and enjoying himself immensely. His current girlfriend and him have a bit of a friends with benefits relationship, but she seems like a very nice girl and he hopes he can take things into a more committed place with her. She has pretty common first and middle names for Australia. Her surname ends in -son.

Micah and Sabrina gave their baby boy a first name that is currently very popular in the US. Their son’s middle name honors a relative.

Iris and Marcel have overcome all the odds and have stuck together, their little family as close as ever. Ever since the start of Iris’s second pregnancy she has been visiting her parents often for advice and company (and Beth’s cooking helps with her cravings) and taking Feliks with her. The little tot immensely enjoys all his aunts and uncles doting on him and they, likewise, can’t help but smile when he’s around. Iris and Marcel opted to give their daughter a Polish first name that begins with J and is not common in English-speaking countries. Her middle name is very feminine and ends in -ia.
