The Picante Family
DH: Jose Eduardo Picante (29)
DW: Melaina Jean (Vincent) Picante (29)
D?:
Jose and Melaina were married six months ago, and are excited to announce they are expecting their first child! It is still too early to find out the baby's gender; however, Jose and Melaina are already looking at names. They want one of the names to honor a family member (Jose's parents Miguel and Rosaria or Melaina's parents Jonathan and Elaine). They'd like the other name to be either very masculine or very feminine.
The Stanford Family
DH: Owen Daniel Stanford (24)
DW: Elisabeth Marie (Lewis) Stanford "Liz" (23)
DS:
Owen and Liz just celebrated their first wedding anniversary! They have also just announced to family that Liz is five months pregnant with a little boy. Owen and Liz are starting to get input from friends and family regarding the baby's name. Both Owen and Liz prefer traditional English names with a preference for virtue names or names considered to be "classic".
The McGrath Family
DH: Benjamin Oliver McGrath "Ben" (26)
DW: Emily Rose (Hudson) McGrath (26)
DD/DD:
Ben and Emily have just announced they are expecting twin girls! They would like the girls' names to start with the same letter. They also have a preference for names that are slightly "outside the box", since their own names are so common.
The Sokolov Family
DH: Kirils Teodors Sokolov (32)
DW: Ema Alina (Konstantinova) Sokolov (29)
DS: Teodors Matei Sokolov "Teddy" (4)
DS:
Kirils and Ema moved to the United States two years ago from their native Latvia with their son, whom they now call Teddy. They have just found out that Ema is pregnant with their second child, another son. They are looking for names that are used in Eastern Europe, but that would translate well to use in the US or have a nickname easily pronounced by Americans.
