Whilst lounging by the pool and sipping martinis one summer day, Albert and Victoria decided that they wanted another child. They (or, perhaps more accurately, the governesses) are enjoying grooming a perfect little gentleman and lady, and with a new little princess on the way they want names used by the royal family. They're looking for something "charmingly old-fashioned" but don't have a specific time period in mind, and they want her name to flow nicely. Her first and middle name should come from here (please mention where on the family tree you found the names you chose): http://www.britroyals.com/royals.htm

The Lockwood family:
Dmom: Jane Katherine Lockwood – (33)
AD: Zinnia Monet Lockwood (Alcyone) - (3)
AS/AS: Ciprin Radu / Dorin Ilie (7 mo)

Zinnia Monet, while not quite as cultured an artist as her mother or her namesake, is still quite an accomplished fingerpainter. Jane adores her so much that she decided to adopt again, though this time she did so internationally. She's adopting seven-month-old twin boys from Romania named Ciprin Radu and Dorin Ilie. She wants to keep part of each boy's given name in order to preserve their heritage, yet she also wants their names to have a bit of artistic flair.

With their twins, Michael and Felicia compromised by each naming one - Michael gave his daughter two lovely Shakespearean names, while Felicia named her son after one of her very favorite authors, J.D. Salinger. Now they have another daughter on the way and they're looking to compromise again. Felicia has recently become enthralled by ee cummings and poetry in general and is looking for either a name from one of cumming's poems (found here: http://www.poemhunter.com/ee-cummings/poems/page-1 ) or a poetry form/term (listed here: http://thewordshop.tripod.com/forms.html , http://www.poetry-online.org/poetry-terms.htm). Michael would like to honor his grandmother, Audrey Elise, who recently passed away.

The Nakahara family:
DH: Isaiah Katsuya Nakahara – (27)
DW: Chelsea Kim (Schmidt) Nakahara – (26)
DS: William Hwan Nakahara "Liam" (NurseMom75) - (3)
DD:

Because they decided to give Liam a Korean middle name, Isaiah and Chelsea have decided to give their new daughter a Japanese first name (a good name list can be found here: http://www.babynames.org.uk/japanese-girl-baby-names.htm). However, they want it to either sound like an English first name (i.e. "Ami") or for it to have an English-sounding nickname. For her middle name, Chelsea wants to honor her adoptive grandmother, Rosemary Maureen.

The Kohler Family:

For their first daughter's name, Ryan and Kelsey decided to compromise by giving her names that were both of German origin and trendy-sounding. This time, Ryan has assented to let Kelsey choose the first name, provided that her midde name be "Dagny". Kelsey wants an innovative and trendy name that isn't bizarre; she likes many of the names on this list: http://www.trendybabynames.com (clicking on "A" will give you names A-Z; clicking on "N" will give you names N-Z).
