Next round will probably be the last, unless I change my mind. Here we go!

The Morales family has seen the addition of three more grandchildren, and Robin and Etta are learning all about babysitting. Julito and Hazel struggled with fertility for a few years after marrying, and they were starting to wonder if it would ever happen for them when Hazel found herself pregnant with twins (apparently they run in the family). They wanted their son and daughter’s names to be unique and also alliterative, so they both have unusual names which start with M. Benji and Dorian also wanted to expand their family, and they adopted a little girl from Africa. Her first name is French after Dorian’s mother, and her middle name is African to honor her birth family.

His first name is between 50 and 75 in America in the 1950’s and his middle name is between 75 and 100 (https://www.behindthename.com/top/lists/united-states-decade/1950).

He and Salma want their daughter to also have a long and unusual Spanish name, and her middle name has to do with the ocean.
