This is my first ongoing NTNB, so forgive me if it's not perfect. ;) Also, it won't be a very long one (5 - 6 rounds total) because I'll be going away in two weeks. Enjoy!

Christina loves long, classic names. Marco prefers shorter, spunkier Italian names. Because the family is living in America, Marco has agreed to using a FN commonly used in English-speaking countries with an Italian MN. Help the family settle on the perfect name for their daughter.

Family 2
LN: Gray
DH: Michael Christopher "Mike" (28)
DW: Elysia Montserrat (27)

The Gray family is having a difficult time compromising on names for their twins. Elysia grew up with an uncommon name - she always had to spell it out and correct pronunciations. Mike, on the other hand, was given the most popular name of his birth year, and was always known as "Mike G." While Elysia wants to give her children common, easy to spell and pronounce names, Mike would love to give his children rarer names, like Elysia's. Help them compromise!

When Andrew and Corinna started having kids, they wanted to continue the alphabet pattern. (Andrew's initials are AB, Corinna's are CD, therefore their following children are EF, GH, and IJ.) They would like their next son's name to have the initials KL. They like names that are common but not so common that you hear them used all the time.

Julia, age 17, recently got pregnant. Her family is disappointed that she wasn't more responsible, but still supportive. She has enlisted Gabriel and Madeleine in the search for the perfect name for her baby. Gabriel's favorite names are biblical - he likes Isaac, Samuel, Jacob, and Aaron. Madeleine likes shorter, slightly nickname-y names, such as Noah, Johnny, Charlie, and Eddie. Josh doesn't care much for either of Julia's siblings' choices. He wants his son to be named after a famous baseball or football player. Julia is open to all these ideas, and she wants her son's MN to have a meaning related to hope or love. George and Linda are open to most names, but want to make sure their grandson won't have a name that's too trendy.

There was a recent tragedy in the Hayden family. Oliver's oldest sister, Margaret Sara "Maggie", recently died of cancer. The Haydens want to honor Maggie. They're open to using other names to honor her other than just Margaret. Susanna loves the NN Maggie, and wants to use it if possible. For the other twin, the Haydens have decided to honor Susanna's mother, Estelle Pearl.
