Rachel Shay’s Neighborhood NTNB – Round 2

---

All these families live in one neighborhood. A new family moved in this round, they’re at the bottom.

---

The Baker Family
DH: John William Baker [30]
DW: Jennifer Marie Baker (nee Aiken) [29] “Jenn”
DS: Everett Keane Baker [5] (molly)
DD: Willow Estelle Baker (3) (brynnash)
DD:

---

It’s another girl for the Bakers. They’d like something uncommon that sounds nice with Everett and Willow, and it cannot start with J.

The Xylander Family
DH: Gregory Maxwell Xylander “Greg” [35]
DW: Masami Junko Xylander (nee Kagome) [32]
DD: Nyx Yuzuki Xylander [8]
DD: Kalliope Setsuko Xylander “Kallie” [5] (Lena)
DD: Eos Akemi Xylander [3] (jeziana)
DS:

---

Greg is very excited; his fourth child is going to be a boy! Once again, he wants a Greek mythology name, and Masami wants a Japanese middle name. As usual, it’s nice if the names connect (like Nyx is the goddess of night, and Yuzuki contains the element Zuki, meaning moon)

---

The Saunders Family
DH: Stephen Daniel Saunders [31]
DW: Christine Laura Saunders [29] (nee Desmond)
DS: Noah Xavier Saunders [5] (twin to Lily) (Summer)
DD: Lily Seraphina Sauders [5] (twin to Noah) (Mar / Elianora)
DS: Dorian Jacob Saunders [3] (twin to Sophie) (brynnash / Veronica)
DD: Sophie Octavia Saunders [3] (twin to Dorian) (Veronica)
DD:

---

A little girl is on the way for the Saunders (just one this time!) and Christine, as much as she loves her children, wishes her names were used more in the first name spot—it’s sort of uneven right now. Stephen agrees, and he and Christine will pick a name from only Christine’s list this time. However, Stephen would like it if the child had a “normal” or more common nickname. (ie, if Lily’s name had been Seraphina Lily, he would have called her Sarah)

---

Christine’s girl’s list: Zakiah, Xanthe, Maud, Lux, Edith, Ethel, Parisa, Rosalie, Loren, Ophelia, Sybil, Celestine, Eleanor / Lenora, Rafaela, Rowena, Helen, Claribel, Imogen, Romaine, Emmeline, Audra, Frances

The Richards-Zimmerman Family
DH: Kevin Oliver Richards [37]
DH: Mattan Elior Zimmerman “Matt” [35]
AS: Kyler Quincy Richards-Zimmerman [9, USA]
AD: Victoria Sofya Richards-Zimmerman “Toria” [7, Russia] (Miss_Smiley)
AS: Sterling Quan Richards-Zimmerman [4, Vietnam] (Lena)
AD: Skyler Kamryn Richards-Zimmerman [1, USA]

---

Kevin and Matt are adopting two kids—a brother and a sister from the US. Their names are Kyler and Skyler. Kyler says he usually is called Kyle, and that’s what he’d like to change his first name to. He says he doesn’t like his middle name, Quincy, at all, and would like that changed as well. They also plan to change Skyler’s name, but they’d like it to sound similar to Skyler—they don’t want to confuse her brother. Her middle name can also be changed. For their middle names, Matt likes Jewish names, as they honor his heritage, and Kevin likes names in the bottom 500 of the top 1000 list.

---

The Caulderson Family
DH: Isador Calvin Caulderson “Izzy” [30]
DW: Rebecca Margaret Caulderson “Beck” (nee Quinn) [29]
DD: Devika Quinn Caulderson “Dev” [7]
DS/DS/DD:

---

Izzy and Beck have just moved into the neighborhood with their daughter, Dev. Getting pregnant with Dev was easy for them (a little too easy, you know? ;]), but they’ve been having trouble since then. They tried a few rounds of a fertility treatment—and it finally worked! They’re expecting triplets, two boys and a girl, and would like them to have interesting names with off-beat (and possibly opposite gender) nicknames, like the whole family has. They’re open to names from other cultures, like Dev’s. They aren’t really sure about middle names, however—Quinn was Beck’s maiden name, so they didn’t have to think about it. They’re thinking something unusual and fun, like the first names, but perhaps something that doesn’t have a nickname.
